From the Email Stack: You can’t be a truuuue conservative if you support #SB5!
Reader “Adam” gives me the third degree via email over my support of Texas’ pro-life bill SB5:
Shock: “Feminists” play victim card after Rick Perry … *compliments* Wendy Davis
You knew it *had* to happen. Two days after newly-minted “hero” – TX state Senator Wendy Davis – tried to filibuster a pro-life bill that would have made the state’s abortion clinics safer and effectively banned the vacuum suction of unborn baby parts (aka abortion) out of a woman’s body after 20 weeks, she and other perpetual “victims of the patriarchy!!!!!” are flashing the victim card over “controversial” remarks made about Davis at the National Right to Life Convention, which is being held in Dallas. As usual, the serial liars at Think Progress led the way, first with a misleading headline that leaves out context, and second – with their usual half-cocked flair. First, the headline:
Feminist Mob Rule, not the filibuster, defeated Texas’ pro-life #SB5
You may have seen the fawning, gushing, and drooling pro-abortion types in the mainstream media were doing last night and today over Texas state Senator Wendy Davis (D) and her 13 hour filibuster of Texas’ SB5, a bill that makes abortion clinics in Texas safer and would effectively ban abortions after 20 weeks. But if you listen to hyperventilating “feminists” who lied through their teeth about how the bill would “ban” clinics across Texas, you would have never known that. Anyway, the deal is that yesterday was the last day of the special legislative session called for by Gov. Perry and Davis and her cohorts knew that if she could filibuster the bill until midnight, it would kill the bill for this session. Davis was a perfect icon for the “feminist” left because she had an baby as a teenager and managed to pull herself up from a trailer park to Harvard and has had a successful career ever since. Also, she is known for her showy filibusters in Texas, a state which is now currently under GOP control, and where Democrats stay frustrated.
VIDEO: Rep. @VirginiaFoxx gives moving speech on the sanctity of life on House floor
She’s not my Congresswoman, but I sure wish she was! Rep. Virginia Foxx from NC’s 5th Congressional District gave an incredibly moving speech on the floor of the US House yesterday in support of HR 1797 – the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which effectively bans abortions after the 20th week except in cases of rape, incest or the health of the mother.

From my first column for the pro-life website Life News:
What the real outrage should be in the “Trent Franks 20 wk abortion ban” debate
A couple of days ago I wrote about the “outrage” generated by innocent remarks Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) made regarding a woman getting pregnant as a result of rape. As usual, the controversy was overblown by the feminist victim class in our society because nothing churns them up quite like the opportunity to raise loads of cash off the backs of the dead, aborted unborn in order to advance their “women’s health” agenda. Franks, it should be noted, is also fundraising off of the controversy – as he should, as fair is only fair considering his opposition seeks to harass, belittle, and badger him right out of office via demagoguing the hell out of what he said during a House Judiciary committee markup Wednesday of his legislation which calls for a ban on abortion at 20 weeks:
