uh... they few also augusta so much that's been going on the last twenty
four hours in texas we talked yesterday about this anti-abortion bill in texas
where congress states eta members of the state rapper state senator lautenberg
clearly didn't understand the difference between a rape kit
and an abortion
uh... she thought that why why do you really don't really need abortions
because great kid to do the same thing and she she was just all sorts of mixed
up
we then had senator state senator wendy davis do
a talking
filibuster yesterday the bill threatened to close nearly all of the abortion
clinics in the state
and that prompted democratic state senator wendy davis to do and eleven our
talking filibuster
and indeed the bill is dead
with interesting about this is that the bill alternately died anyway but davis's
filibuster actually fell three hours short of the required time
because the chairman ruled that she had veered too far off-topic
for it to constitute do these rules you can take a break
you can't stop taking either go to the bathroom you can't lean on the podium
you have to really be talking and standing fully erect apparently
and uh... you have to be on topic you have to be on the topic at hand for the
filibuster and the argument that the chairman made was a she kind of strayed
from the specific topic of this abortion
that announcement prompted the protesters who were in in their to stage
a gallery filibuster and uh... that lasted about ten minutes and it it
really ended up where they just could not get the vote in in time the bill is
dead and i'll play a little audio and video for you from the gallery and just
incredible stuff it was like i think eleven forty or so last night when i
last checked in on this which was ten forty in texas
and it was still going on
it was quite a scene the
have tell you this is exactly what we need if your if europe religious zealot
in texas in your destroying to go in there and control women into all the
things that we know religious conservatives want to do when it comes
to women's rights
and all of a sudden the time you're dealing with the crowd full of people
screening shame shame shame at you
what did this is just fantastic i think this is great
yeah i don't think most of those legislators care in other words there
are now down districts where are you don't have
he's liberals of will live in the capital
who are going to do this even though i completely agree with them i don't think
they carry the salem sells the avalanche people back home support me right there
they probably do but it certainly can't make their jobs anymore enjoyable
especially when the bill fails break course
uh... also
uh... does this is just a weird statement i want to read to you uh...
about this
with tank of energy that do hearst is the one who rolled but she had veered
off topic
he went on to say that he wasn't pleased by what happened and he said and unruly
mob
using occupy wall street tactics derailed the legislation which was
designed to protect women in babies
wasn't the mob that he is being critical of the made up of the women he claims
the law is trying to protect it's also made up of voters constituents texas
residents citizens humans
it's just amazing that he sees
people saying
you are passing legislation we don't agree with
and we feel strongly about it and are here taking action apple over it
as an unruly mob your legislating against what many people want to know
they're so they're they're saying that they're they're making their put their
voices heard yeah this is really pathetic i mean it
he probably just assumes that these women don't even understand the
legislation right hey don't know we have to tell them what's best for them
because they don't even get it
yet if he truly believes this or he could just be completely ignorant about
the whole thing and sell he certainly could be there
