Wendy Davis thinks Abortion Barbie posters are “disgusting”
Texas state Senator and gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis, who catapulted to infamy by filibustering a 20-week abortion ban in 2013, is unhappy pro-lifers aren’t letting anyone forget.
Davis has taken out a Facebook ad calling on supporters to sign an “Open Letter Denouncing The “Abortion Barbie’ Attacks,” referring to life size posters that greeted her on May 22 when she came to Hollywood for a celebrity fundraiser. 
The artist known as Sabo photoshopped Davis’s head onto a pregnant Midge doll and placed a pair of large open scissors over the head of a little black baby she was holding.
I don’t understand the problem. The scissors may not have been surgical instruments, but late-term babies are murdered by grabbing and stabbing them just the same. And minority babies are known targets. This is all what Davis stood in her pink shoes trying to protect for 11 hours. Own it, Wendy.
But Davis was not happy, calling the poster all sorts of names: “disgusting… wrong… offensive… vicious personal attacks… insulting… demeaning… degrading” – oh, my.
I have to ask, what exactly is disgusting? Does Davis not know abortion is a bloody hot mess?
EMILY’s List, the pro-abortion PAC that finances the campaigns solely of Democrat pro-abortion women, piled on with even more pejoratives about that which they support:
Again, what is “gruesome” about that poster, EMILY’s List?
It doesn’t even actually show the real deal.

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Exactly. The posters are “vile” and “Disgusting”…but (late-term) abortion ISN’T ???!
Hypocritical much ?
This is a step up in polite manners judging by the costumed vaginas roaming pro-choice events.
This will backfire. The Wendy supporters are going to make a big deal about this, and the concept of “Abortion Barbie” will stick more than it would have.
This will bring more attention to Wendy’s views on Texas abortion law, including fuzzy position on 20-week abortion limit…

With Dan Patrick the likely winner in this fall’s Lieutenant Governor race in Texas, there is likely to be significant pro-life legislative activity.
Wendy was soo proud of her abortion stance a while ago, but now she kind of wants to it to just go away? She became a liberal and media darling for fighting for late term abortions, and she’s trying to back away from it now?
Sorry, it won’t work. You are now known as Abortion Barbie for the ages!
Hi Chris,
Great point. Where is this crowd when women are prancing around in vagina costumes?
I questioned the purpose of the “Abortion Barbie” posters when the story broke.
Now I understand. The purpose was to rattle Barbie’s cage and make her squeal and shrill.
Success!
This is a counter-attack in the same vein as the “War on Women” meme. She should have known to ignore it.
Now thousands of people who never saw or heard about the posters are hearing Davis talk about herself as “Abortion Barbie.”
If this isn’t poetic justice, I don’t know what is.
Own it Wendy. Just frikkin’ OWN IT.
Disappointed in the Dems choice with her in Texas. Texas is ripe for an 8 year plan to turn the state Democratic – but you’ve got to have the right candidates to gain ground, and I don’t think she’s it.
Don’t want your photo on an abortion poster?
Don’t support abortion.

It’s called cognitive dissonance.
Sorry Abortion Barbie, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
You can’t enjoy the support of the deranged and deluded mob who kill preborn children in the name of selfishness and convenience; and then whine when you are characterized for who you truly are, a shallow, deceived promoter of the genocide of innocent children.
cranky catholic, make us a Born-alive Ken with Obama’s face photo-shopped in.
Well, I’m going to be the voice of dissent here. I think the poster is tacky and counterproductive. Pro-lifers have to do better than this. This is stooping to the lowest level, and just looks like the kind of tacky crap we see from abortion advocates.
We will never win hearts or minds with stuff like this. We won’t win votes, either.
Great point. Where is this crowd when women are prancing around in vagina costumes?
Where were they when Sarah Palin was being called “Caribou Barbie,” among other things not fit to print. I am not a big fan of Sarah Palin, but she really did take a great deal of abuse.

There are only so many times you can abide by the Marquess of Queensbury rules while your opponent is kicking you in the shins. I know I’m sick and tired of the pro-choice candidate in a race hyping this up in every commercial and mailer, while the pro-life candidate tugs at his/her collar, and says, “Uh, could we go back to talking about taxes or somethin’?”, which gives the voters the idea that pro-life candidates are afraid of their own positions. That’s the way it is where I live, anyway.
“Pro-lifers have to do better than this.”
Suggestions?
I tried Praxedes but Abortion Barbie is tough to top. How about a Wicked witch of the East with Cecile Richards face?
Jen, Whatever it takes to teach/save the kids from being misled. They are getting bombarded with the contraceptive and abortion are cool message. A junior high school in Oregon is now passing out condoms to 11 year olds. Somebody has to teach these minors what is proper and what isn’t.
How about a Dr. Kermit Hoover Doll? A doll of an abortionist with a vacuum nozzle stuck through the back of a baby’s skull. Or a Michelle Metzenbaum doll with Michelle Obama’s face and a scissors accessory.
She’s been campaigning OUTside Texas because she can’t raise the funds she needs for her campaign here in TX…She can’t face the music that she is not nearly as popular as she thought she’d be…..
Awww…she doesn’t like the Abortion Barbie Doll.

Sucks bein’ You, Baby Killer !
SB, maybe Wendy can get NARAL to get her a Kermit the abortionist doll to sleep with and comfort her at night.
@Phillymiss…do you remember when “comedian” better known for being one of Madonnas ex girlfriends wished rape on Palin? She said ” I hope a pack of black bruthas from Harlem rape you.” No outrage racist and not funny. Of course most comedians today arent funny so they have to try to outdo each other on being vile. Comedy has changed so much.
@Phillymiss aaagh You probably know who she is Sandra Bernhard. @TS lol. I like that.
hello heather
“How about a Wicked witch of the East with Cecile Richards face?”
Absolutely perfect! Maybe holding a basket with a dead baby in it where Toto usually is. Maybe a sound button could be added to the poster that viewers could push. It could say things like,
“I’ll get you my pretty! And your little baby too!” Followed by an evil laugh.
Oh, and Hilarity’s face on Maleficent’s body would be the icing on the cake! Dooooooooooo it!
Prolifers can do better!
Hello TS:)
You cant handle the heat now Wendy? Be sure your sins will find you.
I remember that comment by Sandra Bernhardt and was shocked that no one called her out on how racist that statement was — so black men go around in packs, raping women on command — really?
