More importantly, this poll shows that banning abortion after 20 weeks of gestation — one of the provisions of SB5 — has the support of over 62 percent of Texas residents.

Opposition to late-term abortion enjoys majority support across the country, not just Texas. This doesn't prevent Democrats from getting elected though.

Texas pro-lifers won a Pyrrhic victory with the toothless SB-5. Wendy Davis' filibuster may have failed but she got huge national exposure, most of it glowing from the MSM --and with this, lots of donated money from across the country. Abbott? Nobody outside of Texas even knows who he is.

Honestly, I don't think Davis will win but I'm afraid it's not going to be a blowout either. I think she's going to make Abbott put up a fight. And fights cost money.

Some groups may oppose abortion for purely demographic reasons. They want racial/ethnic quotas *and* a ban on abortion.

She's way better-looking than Abbott, and that counts for a lot in politics.

***********

It’s been estimate in some articles it will cost upwards of $40 million for each
campaign. Expensive, yes. Abbot supposedly has some $27 million cash on hand
and raised something over $11 million in the last reporting qtr. Davis raise over
$12 million in the last six months and includes some $3 million given to her PAC.

Well we knew that she can talk for a long time standing and pee in a can. We now know she is a slut who slept around and abandon her children for personal gain....and all of this information comes to light without Abbot and the GOP firing a round! I must say I think it’s poetic justice for the lefty’s to do with their money what she did in the can strapped to her leg!
