Texas Republicans on verge of passing abortion law

It was over 200k at it's peak... and you would think... until you remember that to make it a national discussion, CNN, MSNBC, FoxNews, et al. would have to take a break from discussion what Snowden had for his in-flight snack.

HOLY ! SNOWDEN ATE TODAY? I am in the wrong thread!

Let me know when Netscape, AOL or Prodigy have it. Only true unbiased sources left.

You know, the way the GOP ed this up in the last hour leads me back to the idea that it's bull theater they didn't really want to pass (the leadership that is, people like Campbell are really for this stuff).

GOP could have cleanly got this done if Dewhurst would have agreed to let the Senate vote on whether Davis had a third infraction. R majority would have prevailed.

I think this is all just posturing for GOP primaries to appeal to the nutbag base. Dewhurst already got creamed by Cruz for not being whackjob enough, wants to prevail when Dan Patrick comes after him for Lt Gov.

you got me.

Hearing Dewhurst conceding vote did not occur until 12:03am. Bill dead. Does not pass.

See my conspiracy theory above.

[MannyIsGod]

Doesn't matter what time you gotta be up. Just change the timestamp.

Good news for TX.

Perry will just call a special session. It's not like it could damage his Presidential ambitions. His open mouth has ruined that brand multiple times over.

freaking out? it's a yawner, absolutely predictable TX politicians pandering to the "Christian" sociopathic holy rollers in their ignorant bubba base.

For me, the question is how Wendy held her piss for 11 hours.

How many TX Repug asshole legislators and their families and friends, along with "Christian" pastors and their families, do you think have had abortions and are now denying not only abortions to the poor, but also denying them and their kids health care and contraceptives to prevent unwanted pregnancies? Estimate is that there be a jump of 80K to 100K more abortions in TX.

Dewhurst couldn't -- or, as suggested, had no desire to -- keep order in the chamber. The unruly mob blamed for the bill's failure should have been shown the door somewhat before the last minute of the special session.

Teachers do it for 8+ hours, I held it easily for 12 hour shifts in the ICU. Women can do amazing things
