????溫蒂?戴維斯11小時(shí)阻擾辯論

????為了阻撓州議會(huì)通過(guò)一項(xiàng)立法,，德州參議員溫蒂?戴維斯進(jìn)行了11個(gè)小時(shí)的阻擾辯論，轟動(dòng)全美,。這項(xiàng)立法將關(guān)閉德州大批流產(chǎn)醫(yī)院,。雖然她的辯論在法案午夜最終期限之前兩小時(shí)被迫結(jié)束，但其他民主黨人和議會(huì)大廳內(nèi)聚集的抗議者們卻成功延續(xù)了她的拖延戰(zhàn)術(shù)——盡管在午夜12點(diǎn)剛過(guò)就舉行了投票,，但已經(jīng)毫無(wú)意義,。新的聲望讓戴維斯決定追求更高的位置：目前她的目標(biāo)是競(jìng)選州長(zhǎng)。

????Wendy Davis filibusters for 11 hours

????The state senator attracted the eyes of the nation as she stood for almost 11 hours filibustering the passage of legislation that would close massive numbers of abortion clinics in Texas. Her stand ended about two hours shy of the bill's midnight deadline, but her fellow Democrats and hordes of protesters in the gallery elongated the delay -- and a vote was held just after 12 a.m., making it moot. The newfound fame inspired Davis to run for a larger office: She's now aiming for the Governor seat.
