whose voices i was trying to make sure were heard. lieutenant governor david dewhurst bent the rules to add these bills. he had his chance during the regular session. shame on him and shame on you who support these bills. you know, i can t even begin to imagine how this feels to a young african-american or latino woman who is hearing this from old white legislators. let them be told vasectomies are against the law and listen to the uproar. - it was so bold. i d never seen anyone do anything like that before. i was either 13 or 14, and i think it was on tv. watching that definitely put the idea of advocacy in my mind. i realized that that s what i really wanted to. sometimes people don t have access to things like feminine hygiene products. when students don t have access to pads and tampons, they end up just going home if they get their periods
- i can see in the live feed, wendy pointing, you know, it s midnight, it s midnight. [audience cheering] - midnight hit, and the place exploded. i mean, it went nuts. [audience cheering uproariously] - and of course they, not me, moved that filibuster past the midnight deadline. the lieutenant governor has agreed that sb5 is dead. [audience cheering uproariously] - wendy, wendy, wendy, wendy. [audience cheering] - today was the example of government for the people, by the people and of the people, and you all are the reason that that happened.
back in the day and then young people who ve never been to any kind of action in their life. - it was really cool, the kind of sense of community it was. just creating like this bond that, you know, no matter what happens, we re all still gonna be in this together for the long run. we are coming back, we are coming back, we are coming back we are coming back. - there were these moments in the day, when the building would literally come alive, i could feel it under my feet let her speak! let her speak! let her speak! let her speak! upset by the crowd s behavior, lieutenant governor dewhurst referred to the folks who were there as an unruly mob. they ve since taken that mantra and worn it with pride. [dramatic music]
