Governor Perry called a second Special Session of the Texas Legislature to deal with the Texas Republicans' bill to bring back death-by-coat-hangers, which was defeated in the first Special Session by the efforts of Senator Wendy Davis and the people of Texas last week.
This time the Republicans are taking no chances. The Capitol complex is littered with troops in riot gear, the Lt. Governor has stated that it will take only a simple majority rather than the traditional two-thirds vote of the Senate to bring a bill to the floor and public testimony is being limited.
So much for rule of law. But we already knew the Texas Republicans felt that way, didn't we? They ignored all the rules last time, too.

Bastards. Ugh, I keep waiting for all the old, white, conservative men to die off, but they seem to keep producing new ones.
I keep hearing that old white Republicans are due to be outnumbered by Hispanics in Texas within a generation or two.
MAYBE it's unseemly to think of all children anti-abortion policies are supposed to be saving as future Democrats, but MAYBE the Repubs are sowing the seeds of their own demise???
I find that offensive. The value of a life - be it an embryo's or a woman's - is about a lot more than politics.
