CNN Host Dismisses Texas Abortion Filibuster: ‘Why Not Spend The Time Trying To Compromise?’
By Igor Volsky on Jun 26, 2013 at 7:45 am

On Tuesday, Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis (D) launched a successful 23-hour filibuster to block an omnibus abortion bill that would have criminalized abortion after 20 weeks and forced all but five of the state’s abortion clinics to close. The measure sparked a grassroots movement, as women’s health advocates camped out in the capitol building and filled up the chamber gallery to support Davis’ effort defeat the legislation.
But that didn’t sit so well with CNN’s morning host Chris Cuomo. After the network’s new morning show, New Day, covered the story, the anchor sought to dismiss the filibuster as a waste of time and criticized Davis for failing to compromise with Texas legislators:
KATE BOLDUAN (CO-HOST): This fight clearly not over yet…
CUOMO: All that energy to avoid the vote. Why not spend the time trying to compromise and figure out the bill in the first place?
BOLDUAN: Well, and they can just bring bring it back up in another special session.
CUOMO: Odd politics at work.
Watch it:

The bill, SB 5, actually combines separate provisions that failed to advance during Texas’ regular session. Democratic lawmakers stuck together to block every single anti-abortion bill proposed in Texas this year before it reached the House or Senate floor, but Gov. Rick Perry (R) convened a special session at the beginning of the month to push through the legislation and Texas Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst (R) even amended some of the rules to allow lawmakers to more easily pass it.
But in the early hours of Wednesday morning, Republicans conceded that their vote to end Davis’ 13-hour filibuster on the legislation didn’t make the midnight deadline, when Texas’ special session officially concluded.

7. They won't compromise on

anything and I never hear comments like this when the GOP filibusters in the Senate. This comment was just designed to make TX Dems, particularly women, look bad.

Mario should have a talk with this idiot son.

2. If i'm not mistaken.... NYS ( where cuzin Andrew is in charge) just "compromised" abortion rights

off a 10 pt. Women's Rights bill to keep the GOP happy and sent abortion rights into oblivion.

Correct me if I'm wrong, NYers. The politics in this state are so bizarre w. all this COMPROMISING that I find it hard to figure out WTF is going on anymore.

6. See? I can't even keep that straight. There's a politically active cousin....

... I think it's Mathew.

I worked briefly w. him on a DEM campaign way back in... I believe it was '92 or so.

I hear it's "be kind to the elderly week" in Okeeefenokee.

3. I used to watch Soledad on CNN in the mornings.

Since she was let go by CNN, I just don't watch any morning shows. Frankly, I've hardly had the TV on at all for the past couple of months. They all just keep regurgitating the same crap.
