Wendy Davis Filibuster a Bust
By Abrahim Harb
Texas State Senator Wendy Davis spoke in front of Texas Senate at around 11:18 am on June 25, 2013 and planned to speak until midnight, when the special session was to end. During this special session, the pending Senate Bill 5, known as SB5 plans to shut down the majority of abortion clinics in Texas and ban abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Unless, as stated in section one of the bill, "necessary to avert the death or substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman." It would also "hold abortion clinics to the same standards as hospital-style surgical centers, among other requirements," according to The New York Times.
