Representative Senfronia Thompson speaks regarding her proposed amendment as the House of Representatives meet to vote on legislation restricting abortion rights in Austin, Texas July 9, 2013. The state House could vote on the bill as early as Tuesday, two weeks after Democratic state Senator Wendy Davis filibustered for 11 hours to prevent passage of the legislation. Davis's tactic forced Republicans to start over in the state legislature their effort to pass a ban on most abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy and toughen regulations for abortion clinics.
