Hey
Wendy, that was some filibuster you did as a state senator, last
summer. Wow! 11 hours of non-stop talking in an attempt to defeat a bill
that would stop abortion on unborn babies capable of feeling pain. Yet,
in spite of all that talking, the bill did pass. Don’t blame yourself
though. There were surely a few prayer-filibusters going on at the same
time.
In spite of your failure, you became a
pro-abortion superstar. And thanks to some powerful friends, you are now
the Democratic nomination for governor of Texas. One of those friends
is Cecil Richards, the head of Planned Parenthood (PP) whose mother was
the last Democratic governor in Texas. Richards wants to pull out all
the stops to fight against what she describes as “an unprecedented
attack on a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions,
including whether to have an abortion.” And you are now her new BFF in
this venture. She thinks your determination to keep the suction machines
operating is going to keep the wheels of PP rolling in Texas. I must
admit, you’ve got some great sound bites using your past struggle as a
single mother, (even with the exaggerations exposed) as the reason for
being passionate about a women’s legal right to abortion.
