One woman filibuster could kill the Texas abortion bill at midnight (minimum wage, Hispanics)

[gtc08]

texas ag also pushed through the new voting ID and will try to push through the new redistricted maps, which were shot down by federal judges as extreme gerrymandering, and one of those judges was a bush appointee.

i dont know why anyone who is not a white straight male stays in texas.

Some animals are more equal than others I believe is what the pigs in Animal Farm said.

It's nice that you remembered to underline your 10th grade reading assignment, but you forgot the quotation marks.

this. After 20 weeks, you must have 2 doctors and a verifiable reason as to why an abortion is needed (ie born with an open skull)

She is making quite a splash.

The goal for a blue texas went kaput today with the whole voting rights act thing.

With this, a blue texas is pretty much never going to happen. Like literally never.

But this bill goes farther than that. In essence, they are trying to use "safety" regulation just to screw with abortion clinics.

So all in all I say filibuster away.

And I've got to agree with whogo on this one.

No, there's no irony. I stand by what I said, and I have no idea who this other guy is nor does what he says have anything to do with me.

The rights I assert as it relates to firearms (although my argument is never as simple as the one I alluded to earlier) never dismisses any direct consequence of my individual actions as irrelevant.

Quite the lame attempt to be clever, but like most on here you fail miserably when it comes to anything beyond a cursory analysis before spitting out your smart assed comments.

Nice try though.

this, them pushing through new voting restrictions the second after voting rights act gets removed, the ag admitting now trying to pass through a redistricting map that gerrymanders to the extreme and was turned down by federal judges, one being a bushie.

if the texas dems cant rally behind this now and throw these whites out, then let texas secede and lets move on.

Uhhh, society has a say in this.
