Wendy Davis: Abortion Rights Supporters Will Not Back Down In Texas

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) is calling a second special session of his state's legislature to pass a controversial bill limiting abortion rights in the state -- but the woman who spoiled his first go-around is not backing down.

Wendy Davis, the Democratic Texas state senator who foiled the anti-abortion rights bill SB 5 by mounting an epic 11-hour filibuster, pledged Sunday to fight on.

"For all that you have achieved in terms of your profile and your views, are you not just delaying the inevitable?" David Gregory asked Davis on "Meet the Press.""We will fight as we begin the session again on Monday," Davis responded. "I don't think that we'll concede that the battle is over. And even if this bill passes, obviously there will be other challenges to it going forward." Davis, who represents Fort Worth, also took another shot at comments from the governor, who targeted her for her own experience as a single teen mother. "My life story is something obviously that belongs to me very personally," Davis said. "I think some of the comments that he made really demean the high office that he holds.

WOMEN TRIED TO SELL HER 3 YEAR OLD ON CRAIGSLIST

A bicycle. An old jailbroken iPhone. Maybe used furniture. Some free dirt. Those are the type of things you expect to buy off Craigslist. You definitely don't expect a Mom to offer up her three-year-old son on the seedy but useful classifieds website. But that's just what Stephanie Redus did. She used Craiglist to get her son adopted by a new family.

The Craigslist ad stated:

Hi, I'm trying to adopt out my 3yr old son. I'm not in a good place in my life and don't feel like I can care for him properly but I don't know where to start. If you or know anyone who is interested in caring for him, please let me know. I'm a single mom and can't do this.

Thanks, Desperate.

If Redus, a 29-year-old single mother, didn't feel equipped to continue being a mother to her son, that's totally her decision to make. But to put the adoption alert out on Craigslist? Um. Yeah. The only thing worse would be if Redus tried to pawn him off at a Flea Market with old stamps, broken typewriters and handmade jewelry. It's clear that a woman who would do this to her son needs a bit of help.

Redus, who admitted to posting the ad, told the police that she has been depressed and suffers from anxiety but hasn't been taken her medication because... she's pregnant with another child. She's been charged with ""advertising for placement of a child"", which apparently is a misdemeanor (for now). The three-year-old is now in care with a relative as Redus awaits her day in court.
