TX Republicans kill filibuster, essentially ending abortion in state

20 weeks is long enough to decide if you need an abortion or not. Not really that controversial of a law.

What business is it of yours?

There is a point when you just have to be reasonable and recognize that there are a massive amount of people in the country with opinions other than your own.

It's because 40 years ago, certain states were quite bad when it comes to respecting the Civil Rights Act

Just like today.

Some of them have taken great steps forward, but some have remained the same or gotten worse.

Some of the worst aren't even covered....mainly because they did not have a substantial minority population in the 1965.

Some of them took great steps forward BECAUSE THEY WERE BEING WATCHED LIKE HAWKS.

In case you didn't notice, the hawks just had their wings clipped.

Honestly I'm surprised she made it as far as she did. She couldn't eat or go to the bathroom for 13 hours. Now 13 hours ain't that bad to go without food. But come on lets be real here. When's the last time you heard of a woman going more than 4 hours without having to go to the bathroom?

Hey, speak for yourself. I'd go mad if I went 13 hours without eating!

When the bill becomes law, abortion will be illegal in Texas if performed after 20th week of pregnancy and all abortion clinics must be upgraded to be considered "ambulatory surgical centers."  Also, all doctors have to have admitting privileges to a hospital within 30 miles which isn't exactly easy in sparcely populated west Texas.

Sometimes I really hate living in this state. >

Doesn't sound like a big deal to me. 20 weeks pregnant is pretty pregnant and will require surgery. Best to have surgery done by a surgeon.

Don't know how I missed this two years ago.  So, IOW, it's none of your fucking business but that doesn't stop you from dictating how others should live their lives.

Are you Rick Perry?

I didn't see how old this thread was, but for some reason it was showing up. You on the other have no excuse for necroposting. Shame on you.
