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.

captain its not as simple as just saying its a ban for over 20wks, the devil is in the detail.

I was reading that some states have the limit as low as eight weeks :(

Yes, it is the details of the proposed law.

The US antichoice movement knows that they can't overthrow Roe v Wade so are now concentrating on limiting abortion in other ways. Shortening the time available, making it more difficult for clinics to operate legally..

It's very moving watching the live feed. How long does she have to go now?

Very moving indeed. And yes how long does she have to go?

DH and I were just watching, I wanted to show him and tell him about what she is fighting against.

Just realised she can't even have a drink

She is really amazing.

She has a bit less than 7 hours left (I think). I'm in awe.

It is scary and I didn't even realise for ages when I moved here, I even forget because thankfully I'm not currently affected and I guess you just take certain things for granted.

Sorry that took ages to post I lost connection.

7hours?! Bloody hell, she so amazing. Its awful listening to how they are stopping the funding to reproductive health care, so less access to contraception...and now they want to limit abortion as well... What year are we living in again?

wow, another seven hours?! Hope she makes it.

That's literally standing up for what you believe in.

Good for her.

Ooh someone is challenging her re talking about the budget?

It breaks the rules or they are trying to say its not 'on topic'? It sounds entirely relevant to me!

I am watching but cant get the sound properly,,,,,,,,,,,

Yeah my sound is a bit dodgy, there was a baby crying in the background a minute ago...

Now they are questioning her talking about birth control?! Htye are really trying to derail her but she is standing strong.

I think the rules are that she can only talk on topic. They are trying to say that she is off topic - didn't it say that the filibuster would be ended if she had 3 warnings.

Here

If a point of order is raised that the senator speaking has violated the rules for decorum or debate, the presiding officer will warn the senator twice; after a third violation, the Senate may vote on the point of order. If it is sustained, the senator speaking must yield the floor.

One has come her way, did the one about the budget go against her?

Do we know how many times they have objected ams won?

Its interesting now on my link a man talkoimg about roe v's wade and constitutional right. Not sure what point he is trying to make yet...

Two warnings...

Bit that was someone asking HER questions son how can that count against her?

Ah they are clarifying that was to the bloke so doesn't count against Davis :)

Nope, the warning was to someone else, I think

Great pics here of supporters

My battery is dying and I am going to have to go to bed, shall try and watch on my phone and then wake up for the end which should be 5-6am British time?
