Texas lawmakers reconvene for new abortion fight

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — State troopers lined the halls of the Texas Capitol, and 5,000 protesters rallied outside against proposed abortion legislation, as lawmakers convened Monday for a second special session that Republican leaders pledged wouldn't descend into chaos like the first.

The Texas House and Senate each met for less than an hour before recessing for the week. That was just long enough to schedule new committee hearings for the proposed restrictions that would make Texas one of the toughest places in the nation for women to get abortions.

Less than one week earlier, Democrats scored a rare victory in the GOP-dominated Legislature by running out the clock on the first special session.

Democratic Sen. Wendy Davis of Fort Worth was on her feet for more than 12 hours — speaking most of that time — during the Democratic filibuster. When Republicans used parliamentary technicalities to silence her, hundreds of protesters in the public gallery and surrounding Capitol corridors cheered so loudly that work on the bill couldn't be completed before the midnight deadline.

"You're going to see a completely different debate this time around," said Rep. Steve Toth, a Republican from The Woodlands. "We're not under that kind of timeline this time around."

Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst took no chances with raucous protesters in the second special session on Monday. Security was much tighter than before, with troopers — some of them in riot gear

Hope they manage to get it passed this time...

 

[dilloduck]

Cops with riot gear are OK in this situation ?

 

[National Socialist]

After what happened last time yes...Or I would just suggest the legislators pack heat and any little baby killing fuck that disrupts it just blast them

 

[LordBrownTrout]

It should pass. 12 states already have this law.

The photo of her in the Houston Chronicle this morning made me want to punch her in the face.
She's so proud of herself.

 

[Old Rocks]

Here we go again. These nice non-violent "Conservatives" wishing to 'blast' or punch anyone that uses the same tactics as the Teabaggers.

That's a tad extreme. I wouldn't mind zapping them with a potato gun, though. It would be fun.

Legislators packing heat and killing protestors. You're just the person that needs to be there.

There was a crowd because planned parenthood bused in paid protestors just like they always do.

Not surprising that Gov. Perry would use a special session to try and pull off something underhanded like this. The Majority in Texas fell we have enough restrictions on abortion and this is just a waste of tax payer money as this will likely wind up in the Courts.

You want to see violence - go to an abortion clinic.

Thats what this is about with you? Tactics?
You disgust me.

If the majority thinks there are enough regs why was a filibuster needed to stop its passage?

12 states already have this law. Abortion isn't being restricted.

They don't want to see it. Out of sight, out of mind. Otherwise, it may weigh on their conscious.

Planned parenthood is a real waster of taxpayer money.

 

[peach174]

Limiting abortions to 20 weeks is not stopping abortions.
I should also think that Women would want good clean abortions clinics with the right type of equipment to help save their own lives in case something went wrong.
This is not a war on women, it helps them. It protects both the unborn up to a certain point in time, before they can feel pain and the woman's life.

You're not speaking for the majority. Most people in TX support the law.

The loud mouthed malcontent bed wetters in Austin are not representative of the rest of the state.

I'm not sure most bed wetters have a conscoius. The clearly reject morality, and have little in the way of standards.
