Texas senate 13-hour filibuster in progress [LIVESTREAM]
State Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, is filibustering controversial legislation that would dramatically restrict access to abortions in Texas. Abortion opponents argue the measure would improve women's safety, while reproductive rights advocates argue it would effectively cut off legal access to abortion in the state and endanger women's health
She is basically stopping a legislation against abortion clinics in the entire state of Texas by delaying through filibuster. She can't go to the toilet, eat or lean against anything and she started 11:00 Texas time and its now 5:00 Texas time.

Re: Texas senate 13-hour filibuster in progress [LIVESTREAM]
I don't know much about how the American politics system works, but in Texas, a legislation was put forward to make getting an abortion for girls more difficult (so to deter girls from having sex) however, she as a democratic argues that abortion clinics are needed and the only way to stop that legislation from being voted on an passed is if she stalls it for 13 hours and effectively gets rid of it. For the 13 hours she will talk on the subject to consume time. She can't leave that position for the time aswell.afisoone wrote:explain to me please. Why she speaks that long?

She can't do that. It means she has to speak until midnight. That is bad filibuster...

They are tired now. They want to give up.
Re: Texas senate 13-hour filibuster in progress [LIVESTREAM]
Filibusters should be banned. Only Republicans use it when they don't get things their way.

what a disgusting and backward place america is when some bitch can stand in the people's assembly and advocate mass murder and be cheered as a hero. it's no better than nazi-germany when hitler stood in the reichstag and threatened wars and genocides and got thunderous applause for it. what a sick place america is.
