The bill passed, which is really no surprise, and the reports of containers of protestors with human waste are unsubstantiated thus far, according to the NYT, article linked below. It is true, however, that feminine hygiene products (unused) were confiscated from those protestors wishing to enter the rotunda, apparently because they might be used to disrupt the proceedings in a show of female solidarity. Apparently the DPS quit doing that because of widespread ridicule on social media.
Really? DPS was monitoring twitter in real time to adjust based on the image? I doubt it. I will say they are extremely tolerant though one friend recommended leaving the chained up woman there. She probably had a key somewhere.
And thanks for posting the link to the moderate think tank in NYC.
Is any of that supposed to support your claim that this incident is similar to arson and murder? If these women had shot Steve Perry and burned down the Texas legislature then that would be similar. But that didn't happen.

No, they weren't. But politicians (or their staff) pay very close attention to trending social media topics, especially if the topics can be linked to them. A senator asked the DPS to stop confiscating the hygiene products after the uproar.

Female solidarity?
No, liberal solidarity.
More women support restrictions on abortions than men and the overwhelming majority of Americans support significant restrictions on abortion.
Only 39% believe abortion should be allowed under most or all circumstances while 58% believe abortion should only be allowed under a few circumstances or not at all.
Some anti abortion activists bomb clinics and shoot doctors.
So yeah, they definitely spill human blood.
That isn't the point and I think you know it. There are ways to protest that are civil and should be accepted, this way is not one of them, nor is bombing abortion clinics from the other side. BTW, killing of babies is murder and that is what most anti abortion activists would like stopped, certainly after a given number of weeks. It bothers me, we have people on either side that act in a way, that instead of getting their point across they do damage to the cause.
Show me the poo. If police claim they seized them then there must be photos and, you know, evidence.
