Texas State Senator Wendy Davis minutes from completing a filibuster that could keep a controversial abortion law from passing in her state. In the process, Davis has corralled onlookers from across the world. The filibuster, which needs to last until midnight in order to block the passage of the abortion bill she's fighting, is being streamed on YouTube by The Texas Tribune , with more than 120,000 viewers. On Twitter, Davis' actions have spawned the hashtag #StandWithWendy. The Texas Tribune is live blogging the filibuster as well, noting that hundreds of people are outside of the state capitol in support.
