Stand With Wendy freaks hardest hit.
Via Washington Times:
After weeks of debate and a parliamentary delay engineered by pro-choice advocates, Texas lawmakers on Wednesday passed a set of abortion limits widely seen as the most restrictive in the nation.
The Texas House cleared the measure — known as House Bill 2 — just after noon Wednesday by a vote of 96 to 49. The legislation now heads to the Republican-controlled Senate, where it’s also expected to pass as early as this week.
Republican Gov. Rick Perry, who recently announced he won’t seek another term but hasn’t ruled out a 2016 presidential run, has said he’ll sign the bill.
The restrictions have made Texas ground zero in the national debate over abortion rights and have ignited passionate support from the pro-life community and equally passionate resistance from the pro-choice side. A filibuster by Democratic state Sen. Wendy Davis last month attracted national attention and blocked — at least temporarily — the passage of the abortion bill.
