Wendy Davis Is Going for a 13 Hour Filibuster

[Christian Democrats]

He's trying to turn it into a debate on abortion rather than the actual filibuster.

Wah wah ur kilin babbiz n thats th saem as dscrmnating blk ppl!!

It is actually worse to end someone's life.

[Frisivisia]

Bodily sovereignty is crazy? That's news.

Valuing nine months of one individual's health over 80 years of another individual's life is crazy, yes.

Especially when the first individual is partially responsible for the temporary condition in which she finds herself.

Tell me, Chrissy, what's the topic of this thread?

Go on...

[The Serbian Empire]

Or Rand Paul earlier this year droning on about the drones.

Most people who filibuster hold crazy positions.

I bet most of the Republicans in Texas find this crazy as well. Filibusters are for unpopular positions in their given body of legislature.

Because clearly she shouldn't have dressed like a slut otherwise she wouldn't have been... oh wait, she got pregnant so it's not a legitimate rape. Silly me.

Tell me, what happens every time we debate on abortion, Chrissy?

Why? Do we really need another threadjack?

Oh look, the sanctimonious bullshit and misogyny I was talking about..

[North Wiedna]

Wendy Davis's ongoing filibuster of an anti-abortion bill in the Texas Legislature.

Tabling is actually a legal thing. When you table something, it means you put it off (often indefinitely), which is why the filibuster's happening.

I was just gonna let him talk to himself...

I don't want to get into another abortion debate though.

It's nice to see a filibuster put to good use for a change

Rape is responsible for about 1 in 200 pregnancies.

Except the fact that almost half the victims whose lives are ended are female . . .

Woman-on-woman crime?

I was going to say that the anti-choice side (which often includes Chrissy) gets legitimately raped, but that works.

Tell me, Chrissy, what's the topic of this thread?

Wendy Davis's ongoing filibuster of an anti-abortion bill in the Texas Legislature.

And tell me, why, if this is supposed to be about a filibuster, are you trying to make this about abortion?

It was worthwhile in my head to let it prattle on but that's true enough. I won't respond to another comment like that.

[Benomia]

I was under the impression that you could talk about whatever you wanted during a filibuster?

[Arcturus Novus]

This woman is honestly like the feminist Rand Paul. Both widely hated and adored.

My first post was about the filibuster. The rest have been responses to responses on my post.

And that makes going off-topic okay how?

This is not a thread on abortion. Either discuss the filibuster, or go make your own thread. No one wants to listen to you babble about how women are less important than fetuses.

They have since introduced rules regarding filibusters I believe.
