On June 25th, 2013, Senator Wendy Davis of Texas started a thirteen hour filibuster to stop the passage of Senate Bill 5; this bill would effectively ban abortion in the state of Texas, making for riskier illegal techniques. The people rose up against the Texas government, rioting until three am on June 26th to keep this bill from passing and screaming against the illegal vote cast by the Texas Senate. Governor Rick Perry has called for a second special session starting July 1st, 2013 where SB5 will be brought up once again. This cannot happen. The Texas Republicans made it clear that they do not care about what their constituents want when they voted affirmative, illegally and in front of over 150,000 livestream viewers, in a room full of the electorate shouting in opposition. No Mas.
