i guess maybe politics brought this issue back up but it appears there is debate on if the legislation would cause the clinics to close. it very well may but this is not the texas politics i am used to.
i've been away for a while though, hopefully never to go back to that shithole state, even austin. 
the other thing i don't get is this bill passed right? |
Maybe it is an issue now because there are enough pro-choice voices that are willing to be heard? So, when attempts to limit them come up they actually make it an issue. Who knows if that is right, it's the sociologist in me just thinking out loud.
Plus, it is Austin which makes it a bit easier for the more liberal folks to be in the building.
The bill didn't pass because they ran out of time mostly thanks to her. The rules are that for the bill to pass it would have had to been voted on before the end of session which was 11:59 that night. That did not happen.
However, that didn't stop the republicans trying to mislead by having a vote at 12:01 but putting on the State website that it had taken place at 11:59. Something they have now changed. Perhaps after realizing that if you are going to try to commit fraud maybe you should do it when the session isn't being streamed.
