Anyone watching Texas senator Wendy Davis filibuster the anti-abortion bill?

[MmeLindor]

You can watch here

She has to talk till midnight, so that is 13hours. Without a break, without sitting down.

Go Wendy. Go go go.

Oooh, can she yield for a question and have a sit down

Go Wendy!

Truly impressive. No toilet breaks/ no leaning on podium/ no food...
A heroic act and an inspiration.

Wow. I did not know this was today - thanks for sharing MmeL.

Kudos to Wendy - may her stamina and courage see her through to (he) midnight.

Ah, amazing. Very West wing...

Not sure - they were House rules, if I remember correctly. (fellow WW nut)

Oh my god. Tears in eyes at thought of this. We need to hear more about it.

Wow! This is awesome .

oooh, a question.

Someone call Josh Lyman to ask if she can sit down.

I'll check with him when he gets back from work!

This sounds very exciting.

Thank you for the link - watching it now. Go Wendy.

Inspirational.

Ha. Thanks, MrsLyman. (Or can I call you Donna?)

I love it:

She will take the question, but 'she will not yield'.

I love both this thread, and the swift inevitable lead in to WW trivia.

(I reckon Donna would've been Ms, though. )

We really need OliviaMN on this thread. I am surprised that she is not here already

This is amazing. The consequences of the bill going through would be awful for Texan women.

She is amazing! Am very impressed and I really hope she makes it. It's really scary how many states are passing regressive abortion laws

Only if you include a spoiler alert

Malenky, you can take the girl out of Minnesota but you can't take Minesota out of the girl

Disclaimer: I know nothing about Minnesota.

Ok, just for that post ... you are Donna. I totally heard that in her voice.

Go Wendy
Go Wendy
Go Wendy
