I just looked at a link and could not believe what I saw.
Have you been keeping up with what's going on in Texas?
That's how I stumbled upon it.
They're trying to enslave women or somthing. They government is seemingly stuffed full of people who're losing the plot.

After 13 hours, three warnings, a long debate about parliamentary procedure and hundreds of thousands of messages from supporters, Wendy Davis can finally sit down: SB5, the "toughest" abortion bill in the nation, is dead.
Davis, a Democratic Texas State Senator (once called a "show horse" by Rick Perry) took to the floor around 11 a.m. yesterday in an attempt to filibuster the draconian bill, which Republicans were attempting to ram through in a sneaky special session of the legislature called by Gov. Rick Perry. The bill would criminalize abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy and enact a series of severe restrictions on doctors to provide care, leaving Texasโthe nation's second-largest stateโwith only five abortion providers.
These were the rules: Davisโwho had her first daughter at 19, graduated at the top of her class at Texas Christian University, and went on to Harvard Lawโcouldn't take a break, for water or for the bathroom. She couldn't receive assistance, or even lean on an object for support. She had to stay on topics germane to the bill. And she had to last until midnight, at which point the special session would end without a vote.

but they got their way in the end
Texas legislators overturned a temporary victory by state Democrats and standard bearer Sen. Wendy Davis, passing a bill late Friday that puts new restrictions on abortion procedures.
The bill passed the Republican-controlled Senate just before midnight, two weeks after the Legislature failed to put the restrictions to a successful vote in its first special session. The bill would ban most abortions past 20 weeks of pregnancy, place new requirements on which facilities could perform the procedures and limit a womanโs ability to induce an abortion by taking a pill.
Abortion rights advocates, including Planned Parenthood of Texas, have said that the new law would effectively shut down all but six of the facilities where abortions are performed in the state.
Pro- and anti-abortion activists flooded the Texas Capitol on Friday afternoon, setting the stage for a dramatic ideological showdown. Abortion rights advocates wearing orange were holding gynecological devices and signs, while anti-abortion advocates dressed in blue carried images of fetuses and Bible verses, according to The Associated Press.

Apparently, the statehouse decided to beef up security in light of significant protests on either side of the bill, intending to confiscate anything that could be thrown on the Senate floor. Several observers have noted, however, that bringing in guns remains permitted, according to state law.
