Texas Senate OKs abortion measure in late vote
The Texas Senate approved a sweeping abortion measure late Tuesday night despite spirited opposition from Democrats who warned that the proposal would make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for most Texas women to receive the procedure.
Republicans insisted the bill will improve women’s health care by requiring abortion facilities to be vastly improved, doctors to more closely monitor drug-induced abortions and physicians to obtain admitting privileges in a nearby hospital should complications arise.
Democrats and abortion rights advocates, however, said concerns for women’s health are a ruse hiding the bill’s true intent: to shut down most Texas clinics and otherwise make abortions more difficult or expensive to obtain.
“This isn’t about making women safe, is it? It’s about political primaries and making sure you are feeding the red meat to the people who are voting in those primaries,” said state Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth.

Yes, I can see the "improvement" from space.
