... there is unlikely to be a quick resolution to the bitter dispute as the Texas assembly will need time to reprocess a revised bill. That bill, reconfigured as House Bill 2 and Senate Bill 9, has already been filed in the assembly but its text has yet to be made public. The terms of the revised bill are likely to be the same in all important points as the one that fell last week. It will limit abortion to 20 weeks, force the mothballing of at least 37 out of the state’s 42 active abortion clinics, and make it more difficult for doctors to operate.
Once the new bill has been presented to the special session, further delays are likely as committees of both the Texas House and Senate wade through its small print. In the first special session, Texas political leaders were criticized for giving insufficient time for committee debate.
However long it takes, Republican strategists are unlikely to wait so long in the 30-day session that they open up the threat of another filibuster. In the first session, other business crowded out SB 5 until the final day, allowing Davis to make her historic intervention.
