Wendy Davis, the Texas state senator and Democratic gubernatorial candidate who vaulted to political stardom after a well-publicized filibuster of anti-abortion legislation, writes in her upcoming memoir that she terminated a pregnancy, according to a new report.

Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis reveals in a new campaign memoir that she terminated two pregnancies for medical reasons in the 1990s, including one where the fetus had developed a severe brain abnormality.

Davis writes in "Forgetting to be Afraid" that she had an abortion after an exam revealed that the brain of the fetus had developed in complete separation on the right and left sides. The Associated Press purchased an early copy of the book, which hits stores Tuesday.

To the extent that Democrats dream in Technicolor, the grand dream would be turning Texas from red to blue in future presidential elections.

Texas state Sen. and candidate for governor Wendy Davis (D) is replacing her campaign manager Karin Johanson with state Rep. Chris Turner, Johanson said Wednesday morning.
"A few weeks ago I suggested to Senator Davis that she reach out to Representative Chris Turner to lead the campaign to election day," Johnson said in an e-mail to friends and staff.

Democratic State Sen. Wendy Davis is running to be the Governor of Texas--but she has been spending an increasingly substantial amount of time fundraising out of the state. On May 22, Hollywood A-listers will join Davis for a glitzy event in Santa Monica, California to raise money for her gubernatorial race.
Hollywood superstars J.J. Abrams, Jeffrey Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg are hosting the soiree, according to ABC News. The event, which will reportedly be held on the roof of Abram's production company Bad Robot, costs guests $1,000 at the door.

The instructions seemed simple enough: Knock on your neighbors’ doors and tell them to vote for Wendy Davis in Texas’ election for governor.

Bryan Bejarano, 21, a political science student and volunteer activist, soon realized the task was not as easy as it sounded. He wandered around a nearby neighborhood with a list of likely Democratic voters, culled using the same algorithms as President Ob

Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis said she supports medical marijuana use as well easing the state's legal consequences for possessing small amounts of the drug.

Davis' comments echo those of current Republican Gov. Rick Perry, who said he supports less stringent penalties in Texas for marijuana use.

Wendy Davis must be dizzy from all the spinning she's done this week on the question of abortion.
Tuesday morning the Dallas Morning News reported that Davis had said she could support a 20-week ban on abortion, just not the specific one included in the bill she filibustered last June. Davis said "I would have and could have voted to allow that to go through, if I felt like we had tightly defined the ability for a woman and a doctor to be making this decision together and not have the Legislature get too deep in the weeds of how we would describe when that was appropriate."

Wendy Davis, whose filibuster against new abortion restrictions in Texas made her a liberal hero and led her to run for governor this year, says in a new interview that she could, in fact, support a law that bans abortion after 20 weeks.
