‘Where is the pink sneaker mafia?’ Wendy Davis now kinda backs 20-week abortion ban
Obama "forgainst" SSM depending on if it's election season. Wendy Davis "forgainst" 20wk abortion ban. Do Dems have any actual principles?

That’s a rhetorical question, of course.
State Senator Wendy Davis, who got famous for literally standing for abortion, now seems to be walking those pretty pink sneakers of hers backwards:
Wait, what? Wendy Davis now says she supports a 20 week abortion ban. http://t.co/GeO1fCShvs

Interesting.
Per Davis, she only opposed prior 20 week bans because they didn't include enough exceptions. http://t.co/GeO1fCShvs

From DallasNews.com:
“My concern, even in the way the 20-week ban was written in this particular bill, was that it didn’t give enough deference between a woman and her doctor making this difficult decision, and instead tried to legislatively define what it was,” Davis said.
…
Davis said she could have supported a bill that contained only a 20-week ban, but the law’s restrictions on clinics and doctors have greatly curtailed access to the procedure in parts of Texas.
“It was the least objectionable,” she said. “I would have and could have voted to allow that to go through, if I felt like we had tightly defined the ability for a woman and a doctor to be making this decision together and not have the Legislature get too deep in the weeds of how we would describe when that was appropriate.”
Quite a turnaround, no? NRO’s Charles C.W. Cooke has more here.
NOW she supports open-carry. NOW she supports a 20-week abortion ban. Next, @WendyDavisTexas will call for full repeal of Obamacare.

Seriously. Pretty soon, she’ll be forgetting her own name.
So, she was against it before she was for it? Typical. Wendy Davis backs 20-week abortion ban that defers to women http://t.co/2jXkh4TbBX

So how many people that wrote checks to Wendy Davis will be demanding a refund? http://t.co/0mp3nK6atf

We’re guessing even more Davis supporters are gonna want their donations back.

Now Wendy Davis is against post 20 week abortions, pro-open carry, etc. Ma'am, if you wanted in the Republican primary just say so.

Do my eyes deceive me? Has Wendy Davis blasphemed the religion of abortion?

Wendy Davis believes in the right to abort political positions even if they have gestated over 20 weeks. http://t.co/sbxumuVkmK

Bilking gullible donors then betraying them, all while bringing horror of late term abortion to view, Wendy Davis might be Right's best ally

Davis’ gubernatorial opponent Greg Abbott doesn’t even need to do anything at this point other than just sit back and enjoy the train wreck.
Stay for the moving ending RT @Heminator Here's a short documentary about Wendy Davis' gubernatorial campaign. http://t.co/AHae6K1oPW …
