Storify: Texas Republicans Continue War On Women, Texans Fight Back

Texas Republicans attempted at 3:30am last night to close all but 5 abortion clinics in a state with 26 million residents.
Republicans claim it's about protecting women but we know better, and so should they.

See the video of the "citizen filibuster" and some of the outrageous things that were said last night.

But I am and disgusted as well.

And who is this idiot that doesn't know what a rape kit is actually for?

Wow.

Small enough to fit inside a woman's uterus.

And I do wish the female female impersonators would quit embarrassing themselves on the issues, like the use of a rape kit.

I can WISH!
