Every woman should get behind Wendy Davis and this suit. SB8 bans women’s healthcare! TexasAbortionAdvocates ConservativeWomen need to know before they vote Republican again. Don’t be stupid. VoteBlueForWomensHealth AbortionIsHealthcare DemocracyNotAutocracy CodifyRoe

It still doesn’t address the causes of unwanted or unplanned pregnancies or prevention methods. You can ban abortion all you want still not going to solve the problem of unwanted pregnancies. Republicans always solve the easy low hanging fruit it doesn’t take but work.

If you are against abuse toward females, then, you should be against transgender males who deny their outmuscling superiority and chemical enhancements to dominate girls and women in sports. Please regain reason.

Up next for Republicans, taking away access to birth control and forbidding interracial marriage.

What will it take for suburban women to stop playing cat and mouse with politics? It is well known that they always elect people who will go against them every time. Why ?

My son died in utero at 18 weeks pregnant. Nothing worked. I was getting sicker and sicker. An abortion saved my life. My husband didn't have to lose his wife after losing his first-born & my other children didn't lose their mom after their brother died. Abortion is healthcare!

wendydavis. Standing tall!

Thank you, Wendy Davis.

Thank you wendydavis

Please Wendy, run against tedcruz

One trick pony. Why does she want to kill the unborn?

Good luck.

The 'fetal heartbeat' is a chimera: there is no such thing at six weeks, neither a beat, nor a heart. It's Texas Republican Christianista bullschidt.

What's next for the Russian asset republicans, takeaway woman's right to vote?

Good 👏🏻👏🏻 women need to stand up together

Question is, why haven't more women stepped up to challenge Texas?

Yes!!!

'Until we are ready to demand commensurate obligations for all Americans in a host of other contexts... we should be honest enough to recognize this is about controlling women, not about innocent life.' ~JRubinBlogger

Thank you, Wendy!!!

She has been a consistent advocate on this issue she knows what she is doing

Who?

GregCasar No comment on the machete attack against a citizen walking his dog Greg? Par for the course ay buddy?

go wendy 👍

Go Wendy!

That’s our Wendy!!

Thank goodness.

Ahh.. Pro Abortion Barbie is trying for a other 15mins in the spotlight...

Go Wendy! How do I help? I really admire Wendy Davis

Abbotts Suppression of Women’s Rights And Choices is disgusting as it can get for a Sitting Governor whose job is to support everyone. Abbotts has chosen to tell Every Women In Texas To Hell With Your Rights And Choices. Time To Show Abbott To Hell With Him.Change is underway

wendydavis loves killing unborn babies.

Go Wendy, Go!

Wendy Davis is one of my heroes. Thank you Wendy!

Good for Former Texas State Sen. Wendy Davis, and thank you from beyond Texas for fighting back against this attack on women. Imagine having neighbors get a reward for turning people in! TexasTheTattletaleState

Planned Parenthood prevented MILLIONS of abortions by providing affordable or free birth control for those who needed it most. The GOP will, in their infinite wisdom, contribute to the MILLIONS of abortions that Planned Parenthood prevented in the first place. Epic Fail!

Satsuma_TX MollyJongFast Wendy needs to be on the pod asap

Wendy 👟

That’s one way to get back on msnbc

Rape and incest victims should have their right to choose an abortion if they wish. Abbott disagrees with me. GregAbbott_TX BetoORourke

Good

DonnaHowardTX Thank you!👍❤️👏🏻

I am sure forcing a woman raped by someone with AIDS is so inhumane that it is a fact that the fetus that becomes a full human and is born can be born with AIDS. The woman is also infected with AIDS. Both are likely to be paying thousands of dollars of AIDS meds per year for life

She should sue to have the law overturned bc it is based on a fiction: there is no fetal heartbeat, neither a beat, nor a heart, at six weeks. It's Texas Republican bullschidt.

Good. Forced Pregnancy is a violation of international law. Texas continues to target women with harassment and draconian legislation that is not based in science, medicine, or economics. Pro-choice values the lives of real women!
