Perry calls another special session with Abortion, Transportation and Capital Punishment for 17-year-olds (the latter two both died with the abortion filibuster) on the call.
If GOP wants to pass abortion, don't see any way to stop it this time.

Problem is that Lucio is with the R's on this one, meaning there is only 10 nays against the measure.
For now.
There's gonna be a crap load of pressure on Lucio and others before July.
Do you think they'll try to push through the exact same bill, or would they water it down somewhat to try to the balance of passing something for the sake of passing something that wouldn't set off as big of fireworks?
However, there are 55 D's in the house, which would be enough to skip the whole session.
Transportation bill actually NEEDS to happen though, so the R's can hold it hostage.
I'm not sure they could cut enough out of it to make it:
1. Anywhere near potent enough to accomplish what the original bill intended.
2. Avoid setting off more fireworks with a special session called.
Honestly if it were just a 20-week ban, I think this passes. The lack of a rape/incest exception and the excessive standards they are trying to place on clinics and physicians is the problem.
I think the 20 week ban is just a spin. Placing structural obstacles is what they were after, imo.
Yep. The transportation bill is just being used as the excuse to get the special session together, but hey, while we're all here, let's fight about abortion...........
Pretty much boils down to how much of this is serious and how much is posturing. Unfortunately, there's just no telling with these bozos.
Man, I tell you in my experience Lucio tends to do what Lucio thinks is right. He is pretty devote Pro-Life. Then again, he is also loyal to D's and especially the D leadership like VDP and Whitmire. His refusal to vote to suspend 24-hour rule while VDP was mourning her father even though he was for SB5 was a pretty stand-up move by him.
Been party to a lot of conversion about the state trying to avoid lawsuits (for fiscal reasons) with new legislation. SB5 screams "please sue us". Guess the fiscal concerns aren't that real when it score political points.
Ghost of Ann Richards! Yay! GOP Robot Dinosaurs. Yaaaarrrrr!

GFY, VRWC, Bubbas, Repugs, racist Confederates!
you fogot marans! Water the Tree! Fellators (of any stripe apparently).
Don't repugs cry about all the people on welfare, wouldnt this put more people on welfare if it is passed? Assuming none of them southside teeagers could kill their baby?
there's no such problems when you teach your hormone bursting kids sexual abstinence...
Only 5 abortion clinics would remain open... one in SA, Austin, and Dallas and two in Houston, iirc
If you are desperate for an abortion, just get your man to shove you down some stairs.
or the as brutally as you can until you see blood trickling out of the hole
Rick Perry is a huuuuuuuuuuge cunt
Texas Republicans are gerrymandering bullies as far as I can tell. Make us look like a bunch of backwoods s when really the state is bluer than it would appear.
