Texas abortion battle heats up as activists ‘Hail Satan!’
Pro-choice protesters shouted, “Hail Satan!” as an attempt to drown out pro-lifers’ rendition of “Amazing Grace.”

Not All Abortion Enthusiasts chant “Hail Satan” at Texas Capitol
If I’d written the following as a joke, I’d be called a hateful, propaganda-spewing teabagger. Some will call me that anyway, actually, even though this really did happen.
Turn down your speakers or headphones, because this is LOUD.

Still in denial ?
Again, *IF* it even happened, so what? What is it you find specifically wrong with it?

And the answer to the question posted "At what point does that fetus have more rights than the woman?"
" never."
No one is suggesting that the rights of one individual should be GREATER than another.
It's about 'equality'. That's all.
When you remove the possibility of abortion in cases where the life of the mother is placed at extreme risk by continuing the pregnancy, that absolutely puts the rights of one "individual" (a fetus, which is absolutely not a child, not a person, not a citizen) ahead of another.
You might claim that YOU aren't suggesting that, but clearly many others ARE suggesting exactly that. And you're cheerleading them all the way.
So stop with all that phony bullshit about being a "libertarian", because where you're concerned, it's more like "Lie-bertarian."

It's not a question of 'IF'. I find it funny that you even have to debate that non issue. It's very telling of how you want this discussion to go.

Mike...just reminding you...you're attempting to DEBATE an issue with Rap...you do realize that, don't you?
The fact that the "if" you have mentioned has actually happened; that a NON-VIABLE fetus' life has cost the life of a mother in a documented incident we've all discussed, and there are more if anyone cared to find them, makes your point, but such will have no effect whatsoever on Rap's "argument" OR understanding of the situation (because he doesn't want to understand it, as we all know) means you are merely wasting your time.
Remember, when it comes to certain issues, like a woman's choice, Obama, global warming, ANYTHING having to do with Democrats/liberals/etc., he will NEVER acknowledge anything valid, only continue to spew or take a hard 90-degree turn to come up with some unrelated snark. But you already knew that. Just reminding you... ;o)

See my signature. Remember that little incident? The one where I posted video FROM SEVERAL DIFFERENT SOURCES showing exactly what I said happened? You really got all wrapped up in "IF" it ever happened, even going so far as to accuse me of lying, making stuff up, or being hard of hearing, rather than admitting that what I posted was 100% accurate and really did happen.
Meanwhile, you still can't grasp the whole "IF" thing regarding whether or not Muslims decapitated a Catholic priest - was it really a priest? Were they really Muslims?
And you post a video of one person saying "Hail Satan" in a joking way, one time, and claims it's crowds of people chanting those words.
I remain skeptical.
And as well, I ask you, who claims to be an "atheist", what difference it makes, what does it matter, if anyone DID say such things? Who cares? What does it prove? Are you as equally offended by so-called "christians" singing hymns and praying at the very same rally? If not, why do you give one religion any more credence over another, when you don't believe in any of it in the first place?
As I've pointed out before, you really suck at atheism. Your non-belief has a very pro-christian bias, and you can't help but show it in your words.
Oh, and Niki? I know; it's futile, but it is on occasion high-larious to watch Rappy wrap himself up in his own pretzel-like logic until he's choking himself with it.

When the Obama's get heckled the hecklers are the bad guys, when it happens to the GOP the hecklers are heros.

Meanwhile, back to the subject of the bill and the filibuster:Quote:
Texas GOP skirts law on anti-abortion bill
State Sen. Wendy Davis' stand in Texas was the "filibuster heard round the world" -- suddenly everywhere you look, you see news about one state or another rolling back reproductive rights.
Even as all eyes were on resumed hearings in Texas late Tuesday night, the North Carolina legislature was busy sneaking anti-choice measures into an unrelated bill, and Wednesday that bill passed the state Senate over the fierce objections of North Carolina women.
But the more I read about what is happening to women's rights, the less I see about how anti-choice lawmakers are passing these bills.
We're taught as kids that cheaters never win, but that lesson didn't sink in with Republican leaders in Texas and in many other states where these rights are under attack. Instead they've decided that if you don't have the people with you to pass a bill, you can just change the process.
Take the Texas bill: a hodgepodge of arbitrary restrictions, it would close nearly 90% of the clinics that perform abortions in Texas, making it impossible for women across the state to access all sorts of medical care they need and deserve. It would also ban all abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, which compromises the moral and medical autonomy of women who need care.
Following on 12 other states that have enacted the unconstitutional ban, Texas Republicans are trying to put in place costly restrictions to solve a problem that doesn't exist: The number of abortions after 20 weeks is tiny (less than 2%) and are most often sought by women in desperate circumstances, exactly the kind of cases that require close attention by doctors, not sweeping prohibitions by ideological politicians.
The Republicans couldn't pass this bill in regular session -- Texas law requires a two-thirds Senate majority for these measures, and the GOP simply didn't have it. So instead of building support the old-fashioned way for this radical legislation, Gov. Perry decided he'd just change the rules. He called a special session after the end of the normal legislative period, and his friend, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, declared they no longer needed a super majority vote.
What they didn't count on was opposition from citizens who knew the rules and wouldn't stand by while Republicans cheated. In the House, GOP committee members shut down legally mandated public hearings when witness after witness testified that they resented this intrusion into private, personal medical decisions; then committee members voted on the bill in a private room where the public couldn't see what they were doing.
And finally, in the move that earned them national disdain, they tried to use every dirty trick in the book to shut down Davis' historic talking filibuster in the final hours of this widely watched session.
They challenged the content of her speech. They cried crocodile tears about her receiving assistance to don a back brace. They ignored Democrats who were raising legitimate procedural questions. Republicans presiding over the debate recognized their fellow Republicans when Democrats had the floor.
One senator, Leticia Van de Putte, even had to ask: "At what point must a female senator raise her voice or hand to be recognized over the male colleagues in the room?"
And then, after Texans watching in the gallery erupted in jeers at the strong-handed tactics Republicans were using, the GOP leadership held a vote after midnight, after the special session had officially ended. They then changed the time stamp on the official record of the vote, only changing it back after they were caught red-handed. That meant the bill was dead, so Gov. Rick Perry did what cheaters do when they lose -- he called for a do-over.
I wish I could say the tactics in Texas were the exception, but Republicans are using underhanded ploys l

That's factually inaccurate. I've acknowledge a woman's choice, early on in her pregnancy, to abort. I've acknowledged that the earth does warm and cool, and have many times made mention of where I agree w/ Obama, Dems, Liberals, etc...
But speaking of taking 90 degree turns on unrelated snarks, YOU'RE the one doing it right now, w/ the outlier of the most extreme cases, to use THAT as your baseline guide, when the discussion I'm having has nothing what so ever to DO with that at all!
The classless Left chanting, as pro-lifers do the unthinkable thing of singing! OMG!
And Kwickie, about the incident you're referring, you absolutely did distort the issue, and misrepresent what / how it actually played out. You know this, and yet you cling to this completely unrelated nonsense, out of some warped since of 'victory' over me. I guess if that's the best you can do, I can see why you'd want to immortalize it in your sig. Who am I to belittle a beggar who finds a half eaten muffin in the trash, and claims that to be a four course meal. Bon Appetit!
But all this fuss reminds me of another case of where something happened ( allegedly ) in public, except there were NO eye witnesses, and not ONE shred of evidence, audio or otherwise, to corroborate that it ever took place. Remember the 'racial epithets', supposedly hurled at black Democrats, as they marched to sign ObamaCare into law ?
100,000 $ was put up for anyone to take, if they could offer up just 1 single audio / video of that event.
No one came forward. Because it never happened.
How curious, that you'll ignore the actual evidence of 1 event taking place, while you buy into that which has ZERO evidence, what so ever.
My days of not taking your seriously certainly have come to a middle.

How? Be specific. Do I need to pull up the thread for you?
