It was Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis’ nearly 11-hour filibuster against new abortion restrictions that brought national attention to Texas’ debate over late-term abortion, but her efforts didn’t sway many votes in the state House, at least in her direction. GOP consultant Matt Mackowiak and others noted that the legislation actually picked up a few votes.

Orange-shirted abortion rights activists crowded the rotunda and met Republican representatives with a chant of “Shame on you!”
