Much has been written and said – almost all positive – about Wendy Davis, the Texas legislator who shut down the Texas biennial legislative session with her filibuster to prevent passage of a law to prevent the likes of the recently convicted murderer, Kermit Gosnell from preying on Texas’ women seeking abortions. Because no issue unites the mainstream press like the desire to take innocent life, nearly all of the coverage is positive, extremely positive in fact, bordering on creepy. Of course, she cheated and catheterized herself, wore her neat pink sneaks, and leaned on the podium. Senator Rand Paul employed none of that. He stood, like a man, and filibustered for 13 hours, three hours longer.

What is ignored are the issues at hand, the real consequences of the law that will pass in a Special Session call by Governor Perry.  Ms. Davis and her acolytes described by their actions here argue, no, they lie and claim that the law would shutter nearly all the abortion houses of horror throughout the state.

In fact, it would do three things essentially: It would require abortion clinics to upgrade to medical facility standards which are appropriate for rhinoplasty, colonoscopies, and other common medical procedures. Surely having a baby rent from a womb is as serious as giving a nose job! Second, abortion clinics would have to be located within 30 miles of an accredited hospital, again, to protect the abortive mother in the event of complications like those who led to the revelation of Dr. Gosnell’s murderous adventures. And finally, abortions after five months would be banned except in the cases of rape, incest or the mother’s health – a loophole to drive through indeed.

Each of these elements are practiced today in Western Europe, the area of the universe we are told by “Progressives” is the center of the same.

Only in America can a group of Republicans and Conservatives act aggressively to protect the health of young women and their viable unborn infants and be cited for a “A War on Women” when, in fact, it is “Progressives” who have no regard for human life, women, children or themselves. They, the “Progressives,” are at war against most things decent.

It is something to think about my “Progressive” friends. Learn the facts, analyze them in context and stop vilifying everyone who dares to think differently or reach different conclusions form the same fact patterns.
