Democratic gubernatorial nominee Wendy Davis said this week that comments made by one of her opponent’s surrogates calling rape and incest “minor issues” prove that the Republican Party does not value women.

During a debate on Lone Star Politics, which is produced by The Dallas Morning News and KXAS, Democratic strategist Matt Angle reminded viewers that Republican candidate Greg Abbott even opposed abortion in cases of rape and incest.

“He would impose himself and others like himself in the government to decide,” Angle said.

GOP strategist Matt Mackowiak shot back that a ban on abortion was “the law of the land” because Davis had not been successful with her attempt to filibuster it.

Open mouth, insert foot. Too bad it wasn't Abbott or Patrick caught on camera saying this shit.

2. Doesn't matter a bit to Texas Republicans.. Wendy is the anti Christ!

I think my in laws hate her more than Obama. But there's a lot of good Dems in Texas. I have hope for the state that gave us Molly Ivins, Jim Hightower, Barbara Jordan, Ann Richards and even LBJ plus a few I've forgotten. I thank LBJ every day for that Medicare card in my wallet!
