AUSTIN, TXFollowing state senator Wendy Davis successful filibuster of sweeping abortion restrictions last night, disappointed Texans told reporters they are looking forward to tonights scheduled execution of convicted murderer Kimberly McCarthy to cheer them back up.
I was completely devastated after learning that abortion providers throughout the state would remain open, but thankfully, theres nothing better to lift up our spirits than an old-fashioned execution, said Fort Worth anti-abortion activist Caroline Hinton, who added that the impending lethal injection of McCarthy was more than enough to put a smile back on her face.
And as soon as I remembered that the state of Texas is preparing to take a womans life this evening by strapping her onto a gurney and shooting a cocktail of deadly chemicals into her arteries, I just perked right up and put those failed abortion restrictions out of my mind. And its our 500th execution, too, so its going to be a real celebration! I guess this week wont turn out all bad after all. At press time, Hinton reported feeling even better after learning that Governor Rick Perry is expected to call a special session to reintroduce the anti-abortion legislation and that political analysts say it will likely pass.
