Where the bill will almost certainly become law
by Lin Luan NFL Apparel It has been a generation since the earth moved for Democrats in Texas. On Tuesday night an abortion bill, one of the most restrictive in the nation, went down amid parliamentary maneuvering in the state senate, sparking euphoria in Democratic circles and making a minor celebrity of its chief opponent. But in the clear light of day, with the politicians, protesters and pundits now two days removed, there was little evidence that a tectonic shift in red-blue state politics had taken place.Herve Leger Replica

True, a Democratic star had been born—State Senator Wendy Davis led a 10-hour filibuster in pink sneakers—and her party got a much-needed morale boost. But Republican Governor Rick Perry remained at the top of the political heap, undamaged by his party's late-night meltdown. On Wednesday he called for a second special legislative session to begin Monday, where the bill will almost certainly become law, and a day later took a shot at Davis' background as a teenaged mother while addressing a right to life convention.

Abortion is among the most divisive issues in American politics. It has the power to rally the grassroots, inspire explosive rhetoric, boost candidacies and raise money for both parties. As Austin Republican consultant and lobbyist Bill Miller noted after the fight, abortion is "political business, not a political issue." Thus, this week in Texas, Davis, hit pay dirt, while Republican Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, who presided over the debate, went bust. The state's number two Republican, Dewhurst may become the only major political casualty of Tuesday's frenzy.

The filibustering Davis, a 50-year-old Ft. Worth lawyer, did a "remarkable job," Miller said, energizing her party ahead of the 2014 midterms and guaranteeing that she will be a fundraising draw. Cast in the national spotlight, she was not coy about her own ambitions. "I would be lying if I told you that I hadn't had aspirations to run for a statewide office," Davis told MSNBC's Chris Hayes when asked if she would run for governor. Dewhurst, on the other hand, faced internal party criticism for failing to control events as president of the senate, energizing his opponents on the right flank of his party.
