AUSTIN 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.

Meh...
Where’s her “I Had An Abortion” t-shirt from Gloria Steinham?
I was searching for information on it and couldn’t find anything that definitively said “abortion”. Spontaneous abortion is an entirely different thing though. I appreciate your comment though. I still don’t believe it is termed just “abortion” by a doctor. They have codes for each procedure they perform and no way a doctor would code a spontaneous abortion as a regular abortion procedure because the actual procedure is nothing alike
Oh you are right...I forgot and thought I was dealing with a regular corrupt politician, not an abortion loving liberal monster.
This is the only abortion she had. The other one where the baby can not possibly live is not ending a life, even by the Catholic Church standards. Davis is only trying to get sympathy from her base. She needs it because Greg Abbott is going to beat her by double digits.
Sonograms are very sophisticated and good today. Were they that precise in 1995? Thanks for any correction to my post.
Résumé enhancer for a dim candidate.
Thanks Utah.
I´m not one to criticize other people´s religious practices, but isn´t Baptism supposed to be about being "born again" by water and the Holy Spirit? Don´t you have to be born first, in order to be born again?
And isn´t the Holy Spirit the "Lord and Giver of Life"? So, wouldn´t it be an insult to the Holy Spirit to kill a little baby that He just gave Life to, and entrusted to your protection and care?
This is a profound self-deception here. This is inspired, not by the Holy Spirit, but by that other spirit. The one who has been described as "a Liar, the Father of Lies, and a Murderer from the beginning."
Yeah, that just...
Like I said, sacrifices to Molech.
Ending the life of one where both would otherwise die is not the same thing as ending the life of one where otherwise both would live.
Abortion Barbie is a real nasty bit of work, no?
I think it will claw its way up again. I hope so.
I pray so.
Amen to that.
Technically a Christening, not a baptism. You are, of course, correct. The slaughter and act of contrition are nonethess barbaric. Last rites would have been more appropriate.
My daughter suffered the horrible pain of an ectopic abortion. Several years later she was able to bear a beautiful child after a difficult pregnancy.
Kirkwood has posted a correction to my post. I was in error relative to the ability of a sonogram to detect that particular fetal defect during the time frame relative to the abortion of Wendy Daviss fetus.I regret my error and thank Kirkwood for his correction.
