Stand With Texas Women

The bumper sticker goes, "Well-behaved women rarely make history." Perhaps that's why so many of those standing with Texas women didn't mind being called an "unruly mob." When the powers that be refused to listen to an outpouring of public testimony against the sweeping abortion restrictions bill, there was little left to do than to stop playing by the rules. Dixie Chick Natalie Maines, singing to the crowd at the movement's largest rally, may have said it best. Whether behind the scenes or in front of the Capitol, the feminist army was "Not Ready to Make Nice."
