Dr. Jill Biden
Arguing over the technicality of a back brace which will determine what happens to women's bodies. Well done government #StandWithWend

Gina
Here it is, folks: pic clearly shows Davis put on her own back brace as Ellis stood close w/no apparent contact

A Category Five
Quite ironic that Roe v Wade wasn't germane for discussion, but ok to argue about a back brace for an hour.

Deb Harris-Balling
TX GOP so concerned about women's "health" object to Wendy Davis putting on a back brace during 13 hr. filibuster.

Christy ‏
Wendy Davis' back brace already has a twitter account.

Nancy Pelosi
Inspired by courage & dedication of @WendyDavisTexas in standing up for women on #SB5. I #StandWithWendy. Do you? http://goo.gl/DghSn
