Fort Worth state senator Wendy Davis is the new champion of the Democrat news media for her filibuster-defeat of a bill that would require women in Texas to get abortions before the fetus/baby is five months old. That’s a problem?
Her effort to preserve the law allowing abortions up to seven months (when fetus/babies now could be helped to survive and mature) puts her in the company of Philadelphia, Pa., abortionist Kermit Gosnell, who was convicted of first-degree murder in the deaths of three late-term fetus/babies.
Journalist Kirsten Powers in the old Newsweak’s online Daily Beast properly denounces Davis as does the WSJ’s James Taranto. The bill, which is expected to be reintroduced and passed in next week’s continuation of the special session called by Gov. Rick Perry, also requires abortion clinics to meet surgical standards above what Gosnell’s ghetto clinic offered.
Davis, fully supported by President Wormtongue, is opposed to the new standards as well. It’s the Democrat “war on women” baloney, you see. Women have to be allowed to murder viable infants in order to feel free, it seems, and abortionists, unlike other doctors, are sacrosanct.
UPDATE: There actually is a War on Boys, but the Democrat news media ignores it.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
“War on women.” Yet nothing in the MSM about a war on children.
Children are pretty irrelevant these days. Abortion is just one reason why the U.S. fertility rate has fallen below replacement
Being in general against state intervention in abortion issue, I happen to think that 7 months is way too late. If the potential mom couldn’t figure her situation out in the first 5 months, let her resort to adoption in the worst case.
I think the 7 months was passed years ago before a 7-month-old could be safely brought to term in a neonate unit. Indeed before there were neonate units. But the so-called “women’s rights” creeps refuse to countenance any change in the law.
