Davis Says She Could Have Backed an Abortion Ban

Wendy Davis (D) told the Dallas Morning News that “she would have supported a ban on abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, if the law adequately deferred to a woman and her doctor.”

Davis came to prominence filibustering an abortion ban “drawing nationwide attention as a special session ended with a raucous crowd disrupting the Senate’s consideration of the bill. Eventually, lawmakers approved the law in another session.”
