This bill will still pass. But holy shit, this is a proud moment for democracy nonetheless, not to mention for feminism.
I remain utterly disgusted at the failure of most media outlets to cover any of this yesterday, though.
17 to 12 in favor of the bill. Sad but likely true that it will pass if they do a special season. This makes me sad to be a Texan. I do love how many Texans where there in support against the bill. There was a line out the door.
I have looked and looked and can't find the breakdown. Some sites are reporting that it was 19 vrs 10 result.
i think part of the problem is after the supposed vote, some of the senators were saying it was unclear what exactly they were voting on, and some were saying they didn't get to vote. so i don't know if there actually is an accurate count.
