Classy stuff from Wendy Davis’ supporters, another pro-life Senator received emails saying they “hope your daughter is raped.”

The debate over the Texas Preborn Pain bill revealed the face of the abortion movement. On June 25th, the last day of the first called Special Session, abortion advocates caused a disturbance in the Senate chamber, resulting in the removal 75 protesters. As the midnight deadline to pass the bill approached, pro-abortion protesters violated every rule of decorum. Activist Eric Heggie tweeted, “They are voting right now! Only way to stop it is total chaos. Gotta rush the floor.” […]
Ultimately, uproarious screaming from the unruly pro-abortion mob prevented the Texas Senate from finalizing the vote before the deadline of the first special session. As a result, Pro-Life champ Governor Rick Perry called a second special session for lawmakers to finish the business that Texans elected them to do.
Jon Oliver, a spokesman for Senator Donna Campbell, MD, (R-New Braunfels) reported the senator received threatening messages and emails from pro-abortion activists, “I hope you’re raped” and “I hope your daughter is raped!”
Other pro-life lawmakers also faced threats. Representative Jonathan Stickland (R-Bedford) received a tweet from a female protester saying she couldn’t wait to see the lawmaker so she could “pummel his face in.” He and a few other pro-life representatives stood on the Senate floor during the filibuster and were captive there until 1:30 a.m. because of the unpredictable crowd that occupied the Capitol outside the Senate chamber.
