Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis’ (D) campaign was expected to announce Monday that it raised almost $1 million in the last two weeks of June after her well-known filibuster of an abortion bill, the Texas Tribune reported.

Davis’ campaign was expected to report raising $933,000 between June 17 and June 30 to the Texas Ethics Commission on its Monday filing deadline, according to the Tribune. Most of the 15,290 donations came from small donors, under $250 each.

Davis told the Tribune in an interview last week that if she decides to run to replace Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R), fundraising in the red state would be “a key question.” State Attorney General Greg Abbott (R), who announced his own gubernatorial bid Sunday, reported raising $4.8 million for the same two-week period, according to the Tribune.

Poll by Public Policy Polling found Abbot 48%, Davies 40%:

PPP put a comment at the end of that article saying that, ‘Texas may trend democratic eventually…’ and the evidence for that is? If they mean because of the growth in the Hispanic population in the Texas, a couple of polls have found the majority of Hispanics are conservative, so if this identification continues to be a trend among Hispanics and for what reason would that change, Texas will not trend democrat based on growth in the Hispanic population. There has been some debate among conservatives about people moving to Texas from more liberal states who may then vote in liberal legislators. But then it could be argued many are moving from more liberal states to Texas for the benefits of more conservative policies so why would they want those policies to be replaced?:rolleyes:

Texas Abortionist Lester Minto Plans to Flout New Law, Do Illegal Abortions

And this sort of goes to the point that illegal abortions were largely done, on January 20, 1973, by the same exact people who were doing legal abortions on January 23, 1973. So what’s the difference as far as ‘women’s health’ goes? Here’s a guy who already objects to any standard that might improve safety for women, but what he’s doing is legal, and when it becomes illegal again, he’s still the same guy doing what he always did.

Well I am assuming if the law stands once signed, if he does illegal abortions, I presume he would be criminally charged.
 
If all this was misdirected to me, I wish you would go back and re-read my posts. I have said that I respect and want to preserve ALL life including the unborn. I have stated that I support the Texas law.

When I said that all politics is based on the art of compromise I was speaking generally. I too believe that there can be no compromise on abortion.

I am confused and amazed :confused:.

Surely you are reacting to someone else’s words.

I predict that Gerrymandering will become a major issue in the near future. State maps need to be reset and a system implemented where change is only allowed if a state gains or loses representatives.

Both parties are to blame for the ridiculous congressional districts we now see.

Agreed, though I would say it’s already a major issue.
 
Rick Perry won by a pretty good margin. 55% to 42% last election. I am sure with the new elections it will probably be much closer and perhaps even the dems might get elected but the majority spoke and there is nothing underhanded about that.
 
Texas Abortion Activists Scream and Shout One Last Time in Capitol Protest
While Governor Rick Perry was signing the bill to ban late-term abortions and protect women’s health from shoddy abortion clinics, pro-abortion protestors screamed and shouted one last time.

As pro-life advocates attending the bill signing reporter on Twitter, some abortion activists were silently protesting while others were “yelling” outside the bill signing auditorium. Perhaps former Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson put it best when she pointed the abortion activists to the scoreboard and said the pro-life side is winning.

Meanwhile, Cecile Richards, the head of the Planned Parenthood abortion business, promised legal action against the bill.

Cecile Richards said ‘parts’ may be unconstitutional. Which parts? If parts are deemed unconstitutional by a court, will those parts be taken out of the bill and the rest of the bill left intact?

Utilizing faith and reason, the Catholic position in the case of the USA and other countries that currently have no limits on abortion we should use the following principle when we go to vote:

“A particular problem of conscience can arise in cases where a legislative vote would be decisive for the passage of a more restrictive law, aimed at limiting the number of authorized abortions, in place of a more permissive law already passed or ready to be voted on. Such cases are not infrequent. It is a fact that while in some parts of the world there continue to be campaigns to introduce laws favouring abortion, often supported by powerful international organizations, in other nations-particularly those which have already experienced the bitter fruits of such permissive legislation-there are growing signs of a rethinking in this matter. In a case like the one just mentioned, when it is not possible to overturn or completely abrogate a pro-abortion law, an elected official, whose absolute personal opposition to procured abortion was well known, could licitly support proposals aimed at limiting the harm done by such a law and at lessening its negative consequences at the level of general opinion and public morality. This does not in fact represent an illicit cooperation with an unjust law, but rather a legitimate and proper attempt to limit its evil aspects.” - Pope John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae
