“Texas is not really a red state - it's just a non-voting state.” — Wendy Davis Quote

Texas is not really a red state - it's just a non-voting state.

While Texas women have the right to safe, legal abortion, in reality there are already very few facilities in Texas to provide this essential care. In 2008, 92 percent of Texas counties had no abortion provider.

Let's make sure that we don't close down 37 of the 42 clinics in Texas and leave women with nowhere to go and put them in a situation where their health will be at risk, because what we do know is that closing down the ability to access that service unfortunately does not take the need away or women's confronting that issue away.

I haven't pursued it as a senator because I know it's like spitting in the wind. But I still believe it's the right thing. And if I were governor and a bill came to my desk that provided for background checks at gun shows, I would sign that.

I always carry a pocketknife because I'm a girl from Texas.

I would never say anything bad about Texas A&M.

I love and respect the West - you can't live in Texas and not do that.

Everything I ever will be is because of Texas A&M University.

I grew up in Texas, obviously a huge football state.
