I didn't actually read the initial article in the Dallas Morning News. I also admitted in another P&R thread that I pay zero attention to state politics, and I don't intend to start unless it makes national headlines.

Yes, that is unfortunate. Would you have
read you can see that even her ex-husband and children, who were ages twenty-one and fifteen at the time, were and still are supportive of her.
Quote:
Amber was 21 and in college. Dru was in ninth grade. Jeff Davis was awarded parental custody. Wendy Davis was ordered to pay $1,200 a month in child support.
“She did the right thing,” he said. “She said, ‘I think you’re right; you’ll make a good, nurturing father. While I’ve been a good mother, it’s not a good time for me right now.’”
Quote:
Davis’ daughters, now adults, are supporting their mother’s campaign for governor. Both appear in a campaign video on her behalf.
Quote:
Jeff Davis said the financial difficulties that Wendy Davis faced before her second marriage were real.
“A lot of what she says is true,” he said. “When she was 21, it became a little easier for her. The first 21 years were about working one, two and three jobs, trying to get through, raising a kid, driving an old Toyota pickup truck that was the smallest you could find.
“She got a break,” Jeff Davis said. “Good things happen, opportunities open up. You take them; you get lucky. That’s a better narrative than what they’re trying to paint.”
If you would have done any independent research you would have known by now that the abortion filibuster, that was her claim to national fame, was not her only filibuster, and that maligning a person who kept the education budget from being cut on multiple occasions does not deserve the title "Abortion Barbie".
Any takers other than the goober twins?
EDIT:
That most voters aren't absolutely pro-life or pro-choice but a combination of both.
This is exactly how I feel about it. No one is overjoyed by the thought of abortion, no matter what their political alignment or gender is. No one!
