Senator Davis opposed and filibustered a bill that would limit abortions to 20 weeks after conception. Terminating a life at any point for whatever reason is always terrible. Choosing to do so to a baby after 20 weeks is barbaric. Bart Barber sent a Tweet to Senator Davis which said, "It takes a certain kind of person to fight against regulation of abortion in the aftermath of Kermit Gosnell." Well said.
However, listen to what the Tarrant County Democratic Party chairwoman said after the fiasco in Austin. Deborah Peoples said, "It was not that it was the right moment, it was actually the right thing to do." Really? The right thing to do? Her sense of right and wrong is backwards. Her next quote points that out. Peoples said, "What Davis did was to provide a light in the darkness for many people who needed someone in Texas to speak out for them." Anyone who has read the Bible, more specifically the New Testament, particularly the Gospel according to John, knows about the contrast of light and darkness. Jesus is the light who shines into the darkness. To suggest that Davis' actions is reminiscent of Jesus is indeed backwards. Woe to those who call evil "good" and call good "evil."
If you're not aware of Tuesdays media circus, all you have to do is look it up. Sources abound the world over. Governor Rick Perry said it well, "We will not allow the breakdown of decorum and decency to prevent us from doing what the people of this state hired us to do," calling for another session for the lawmakers in Austin.
