Swoon! Also, Laura, "Taste the rainbow, motherfuckers" is one of the best things I have ever read on the internet. Brava, BRAVA.

I think the Wendy Davis supporters are wielding coat hangers because coat hangers and symbols of them are used by some pro-choice protestors to draw attention to the fact that, without access to safe, legal abortions, women will resort to coat hanger (and other unsafe abortion methods) as women have in the past.

Sorry, I could not help myself.

Sorry for double posting this, since I posted it in response to another comment, but I couldn't help myself. :-)

Me too! I just posted this in my own comment, before I saw yours. :-)
