UPDATE HERE Texas legislature returns
Thousands of Texans on both sides of the abortion divide will descend on the state capitol in Austin on Monday, at the start of a special legislative session designed to pass a bill that
would sharply restrict abortion services in the state.
More than 5,000 people have signed up to a "Stand With Texas Women" rally, to be staged at noon on the steps of the Capitol. The rally is being billed as a continuation of the dramatic scenes last week, when 400 pro-choice advocates staged a loud protest in the state senate
chamber following Wendy Davis's epic 10-hour filibuster that blocked the controversial bill, SB 5.
Anti-abortionists will stage their own rally in support of the new legislative session that the Texas governor, Rick Perry, called shortly after Davis's filibuster ended. Some 700 pro-life campaigners have signed up to the rally called by Texas Alliance for Life.
