Erick Erickson caught a lot of flak for designating Wendy Davis “Abortion Barbie” because of her cluelessness about the Gosnell shop of horrors at the same time she was fighting a reasonable proposed requirement that abortion clinics meet normal surgical center standards and abortion doctors have admitting privileges at local hostpitals.
Now she’s bending, if not outright flip-flogging, on late term abortion, as reported by the Dallas Morning News, Wendy Davis backs 20-week abortion ban that defers to women:
But the Democrat said the state’s new abortion law didn’t give priority to women in those circumstances. The law allows for exceptions for fetal abnormalities and a threat to the woman’s life, but Davis said those didn’t go far enough.
Noah Rothman at Mediaite sums this shift up best, Wendy Davis Gives Up on Being Wendy Davis:
And, with that, the face of the opposition to that divisive law abdicated that role. This is the latest in a string of efforts by Davis’ campaign to soften her stance on abortion restrictions, but this and other statements stand in stark contrast to the state senator’s pronouncements while she was still basking in the national media’s limelight.
They sure can. Maybe the Lone Star State’s Democrats will want to take a second look at the politician they have been grooming for years to become the face of their party in Texas now that Davis’ novelty looks increasingly like amateurishness.
In hindsight, maybe the anaology to Barbie was inappropriate, but not for the supposed sexism reasons usually argued.
Gumby may be a more appropriate analogy, because on her personal narrative and key policy positions, Davis is infinitely flexible.

Wendy Davis>>> The Female Charlie Crisp. Just goes which ever way the majority goes. So what will Wendy be in March? A Libertarian?
yup... if her mother felt the same way, maybe we wouldn't have to put up with the miserable wretch
She can bend on everything and be give3n a pass by her Texan supporters and our out-of-state contributors.
Ha!
She is not bending or flip-flopping, she is lying
CHODE!!! Oh man that one is out there!!
Love it! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
I heard about this yesterday, but didn’t get on FR until this morning. I wonder what her abortion supporters will say now.
