Texas tampers with vote date - still fails

[Valmy]

Guys please.  Try to show some decency.

[Admiral Yi]

Yeah those protestors did not show up to be civilized.  What was idiotic is not knowing they would show up.

Bolshevik tactic? 

I think they used it once or twice in their wranglings with Mensheviks and/or Cadets.

I am sure they did many things but having loud boisterous crowds for votes on controversial bills is hardly unique to them.

Probably not.  But I wasn't talking about that.  I was talking about a loud and boisterous crowd *preventing* a vote.

[CountDeMoney]

Whether that's true or not, screaming and hooting to prevent a vote is not something civilized people do.  It's a Bolshevik tactic.

Yes, it's much more American to just slam it home in a special session, hoping no one's paying attention.

And if that doesn't work, just forge the results. Not a problem!

Hell, if you are willing to simply forge the results, why, you can get all kinds of great legislation passed!

But it's for TEH BABIES

Governor Perry on Senator Wendy Davis: She was teenage mother herself and it's unfortunate she hasn't learned from her own example.

Way to go Governor Decency!  Though...I am not even sure what that is supposed to mean.

Yeah.  So she should have aborted?

No, there's absolutely no misogyny involved in curtailing women's reproductive rights at all.

Way to go Governor Decency!  Though...I am not even sure what that is supposed to mean.

She should have realized from her own experience that a teenaged mom can never amount to anything.

I mean, really. A Texas senator? Couldn't she get a decent job at Wal-mart or something?

Bolshevik tactic? 

If lumberjack tactics are the only thing they understand, then we will use lumber jack tactics on them.

[OttoVonBismarck]

What does the bill actually do?

[Berkut]

Says that you can only perform abortions in surgical clinics.

Effectively shuts down all but 5 abortion providers in the state.

[Bluebook]

Well if somebody had managed that special session half-way competently maybe somebody wouldn't need to whine at the indecency.

Whether that's true or not, screaming and hooting to prevent a vote is not something civilized people do.  It's a Bolshevik tactic.

When did Bolsheviks shout and hoo to prevent a vote?

[CountDeMoney]

What does the bill actually do?

It's a combination of several provisions that failed under an omnibus 2/3rds vote in the regular session; legal ban criminalizing abortions after 20 weeks, and forcing clinics to adhere to a variety of post facto ambulatory and structural guidelines that would shut down the number of clinics from 47 to 5, like requiring clinics to be within 30 miles of a hospital.

All in all, it's a very enlightened bill.

[Admiral Yi]

When did Bolsheviks shout and hoo to prevent a vote?

I don't know.  In the afternoon?
