It's Official - Texas Teapublicans LOSE, Texas Women WIN

TEXAS - SB5 is officially dead!!! The people win, thanks to State Senator Wendy Davis and her marathon filibuster. She is America's newest hero!!!

Texas republicans tried to cheat and say the vote took place before midnight, but everyone was watching and it was proven the vote took place 2 minutes after midnight. The vote didn't count and SB5, which would have closed almost all the abortion clinics in Texas FAILED.

The only thing I'd add in warning, is that Perry may call another special session. He vetoed of a bill for equal pay for women and believes Gawd commands him to end all abortion, period. This isn't over, but it is a great start.
