On Tuesday July 13, 2013, The Daily Texan published an article titled Democrats remain determined despite Texas senate passing abortion legislation. The Texas senate passed the legislation with a 19-11 vote. The bill will ban abortion after 20 weeks and increase the standard safety at abortion clinics.  Many people who were protesting during the ongoing debate were not pleased once the legislation passed. After Cecile Richard's successfully filibuster identical abortion legislation during the first special session, a second special session was called.
