Before Wendy Davis decided to go on a crusade in support of late-term abortion and unregulated abortion clinics, she was a nobody. No one knew her; no one cared. But after filibustering a bill that would keep Texas women safe (in some awesome pink sneakers, don&#8217;t forget), she became a superstar. She was the darling of the abortion movement. It was her extreme support for abortion that <a href=\"\/news\/hypocrite-wendy-davis-makes-a-name-for-herself-while-destroying-safety-for-women\/\">made her gubernatorial run possible<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So what reason could she possibly have to minimize her extremist position on abortion?<\/p>\n<p>Well, one reason could be that most Texans &#8211; including women &#8211; <a href=\"\/news\/is-this-your-voice-website-launched-in-support-of-sb5-late-term-abortion-ban\/\">supported the bill<\/a> that Wendy Davis fought so hard to keep from getting passed. Maybe she realized that her support was not coming from <a href=\"http:\/\/acahnman.blogspot.com\/2013\/06\/only-one-quarter-of-wendy-davis-online.html\">from Texans<\/a>. She&#8217;s a puppet for abortion, and that just doesn&#8217;t make her very electable.<\/p>\n<p>Texans should remember, though: Wendy Davis may try to pretend she&#8217;s an abortion fan no more, but it&#8217;s just an act. She may not make abortion the centerpiece of her campaign, but it doesn&#8217;t mean that she doesn&#8217;t hold the same extremist beliefs. Her ardent support of abortion, even if it means supporting late-term abortions and unsafe abortion clinics, hasn&#8217;t gone anywhere. It&#8217;s just being hidden underneath the footage of beautiful Texas accompanied by empty platitudes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wendy Davis seems to want Texans to forget about the one issue she built her campaign for governor on: abortion.
