There's a lot to be said of this in how religion and perception are pushing this. I know that, as far as abortion is concerned, Perry thinks he is doing the absolute right thing. It's ironic to me that I share his religion (if not his denomination), but what I believe has led me to the complete opposite idea of what…

I don't believe that's true. I believe that my esteemed governor does what will keep him in the news. He wants fame and power, and he gets off on being, essentially, a cool kid. He makes himself seem important by putting others down. He is the mean high school football player that wins homecoming king because everyone…

I just moved two years ago, and I am a native Texan, so with the exception of a few years in Kansas and a semester abroad in college, I've spent most of my life in the state. There are so many things about Texas I love, and so many things that embarrass and frighten me, including this abortion bill, the rolling back…

He referred to the protesters as an unruly few. He only counted the men.

Molly Ivins, Ann Richards and Barbara Jordan kept me sane as a non-crazy Texan of color. Consequently, I now live in New York...

I know! Every time I hear anything about him, I just think Rick "Goodhair" Perry.

True, although, also, she is The Woman. She is Motherfucking Wendy Davis, the One and Only. It's an unintended compliment he pays her. It's a cinch she's The Most Important Woman In His Life right now!

Except for the hair.

You're absolutely right!

Fuck Rick Perry, and fuck all the right-wing politicians who think like him. It really hurts to know that there are members of my extended family who would vote for this clown. If people like Perry had their way, I would have died giving birth, instead of having an abortion to save my life.

I dunno, when Michael Johnson was kicking ass in the Olympics, there was a hell of a lot of conversation about:

Dear Gov. Perry:

She was also the person who called the third point of order to say that sonograms and ultrasounds were not related to this bill. I hate this woman.

"Get them out!" Sen. Donna Campbell shouted to a security guard, pointing to the thundering crowd in the gallery overhead that had already been screaming for more than 10 minutes.

Right there with you.. I am a native Texan that lived in SoCal for awhile. It is a different flavor to be blue in a mostly blue state than to be blue in mostly red state. Although, that may start changing because Texas is starting to trend purple. I can't wait to stop being surprised at the large amount of people that…

Even supposedly Blue states have to fight against stupidity and "backwards-ness". Case in point— Michigan. Hard as hell being a liberal in this supposedly Blue state...

You just made me tear up, leaving me extra emotionally sensitive to what is going on in the gallery right freakin' now. Go Texas. Proud o' you.

Seeing the outrage by the spectators and supporters of Wendy Davis has been inspiring. As a Californian, I truly respect Democrats in red states. I get anxiety and severe heartburn in stressful situations and I honestly question whether my health could manage what you do. I was so nervous for the 2008 election, I…

As someone in neighboring Louisiana, I thank you for this. Texas was home to me for a few months after Katrina, and I am right there with you in loving that great state — despite some of the assholes in its state legislature.

I wish I were here right now! aarrrrggghhhh!!!
