The Night Texas Turned Blue (Check out the Taiwanese video)

http://www.texaskaos.net/diary/7362/the-night-texas-turned-blue

he evening of June 25, 2013 was an amazing night in Texas. For a lone woman stood for thirteen hours straight to filibuster one of the most restrictive anti-women, anti-choice laws that would have made abortion next to impossible in Texas. Governor Rick Perry had called a special session of the Legislature in order to pass SB5. The bill had to be passed by the Texas Senate by midnight of June 25, 2013.

Along with the support of over 600 men and women who watched from the Senate gallery, while thousands waited outside, Senator Wendy Davis (D, Ft. Worth) stood her ground. She could not sit down, lean on anything or take a break to eat, drink or go to the restroom. But she stood strong and firm wearing her pink and green sneakers. The Senator read a countless number of stories about women and their desperately heartbreaking struggles to overcome victimization, rape and incest. These are women that did not have the opportunity speak about their plights and how SB5 would have impacted them during the Citizen's Filibuster last week.

And she gives a look at how Taiwanese animators saw the filibuster:
