The Latest: Davis Says Ruling Makes Filibuster 'Worth It'
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AUSTIN, Texas — Jun 27, 2016, 12:57 PM ET
The Latest on the Supreme Court's decision striking down Texas' strict regulation of abortion clinics (all times local):
11:40 a.m.
Former state Sen. Wendy Davis says the Supreme Court striking down Texas' abortion law validates a 2013 filibuster she staged against it.
Davis tweeted: "Today made that day 3 yrs ago all worth it!"
The Democrat from Fort Worth stood in the Texas Senate for 11-plus hours three years ago, temporarily blocking tough abortion restrictions.
The GOP-controlled state Legislature easily passed them in a subsequent special session, though.
