Senator Wendy Davis has hit back at Texas governor Rick Perry for “bullying women” to further his own agenda, as Texas lawmakers return for a second special session to debate anti-abortion legislation this week.

Democratic Senator Wendy Davis showed the true meaning of endurance on the Texan senate floor when she launched a 13 hour filibuster against a proposed anti-abortion bill (SB5) to stop it from landing on Texas Governor Rick Perry’s desk.
