| Senator Wendy Davis gave a speech about 11:00 |
U.S. Democratic Senator Wendy Davis was able to thwart the adoption of the law on abortion in Texas, and she did it, showing a very "Nezhensky" character: the politician gave a speech more than 10 hours, so that the Republican Party does not have time to vote.
By law, Wendy was impossible not only to relax, recline or sit on the podium, but also interrupted for food and other physical needs to move away from the topic, and even simply break off.
Wendy together with the democratic Party opposed the new bill on abortion. According to this project, abortion, for a period exceeding 20 weeks of pregnancy, should be banned, and along with stricter requirements for clinics performing similar operations. If the bill passes, Texas will close 37 of the 42 abortion clinics because they do not meet the new requirements.
During filibastera Wendy (as is scientifically called a deliberate delay a vote), it was supported not only party members, but also more 400 opponents of the bill, who chanted words of support.
graduating performance and withstand hours of marathon, Wendy admitted that she had a sore back, and the words left little in reserve.
But Davis handled - the politician PEREOBULSYA advance in handy pink sneakers to somehow ease his speech. By the way, this model of athletic shoes, has become a symbol of female power, has already become a hit in the online stores.
As a result, the law was still passed by a majority, but it turned out that the vote ended after midnight, and he was found invalid. Now the bill will be put before re.
Incidentally, this filibaster not so long ago arranged and Republicans. In the spring of Rand Paul spoke 13 hours of speech (during which time he allowed himself to eat just one piece of candy) to postpone the election of the new head of the CIA, John Brennan.
