.MaddowBlog: From the White House to state houses, from Congress to the campaign trail, when it comes to abortion, what happens in Texas won't stay in Texas.
Those legislative efforts, however, face insurmountable odds, at least in the short term. Even if the Democratic-led House were to pass such a measure, the bill would be subject to an inevitable Republican filibuster. And even if the Democratic-led Senate were to put the filibuster rule aside, such a bill would fail anyway: Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia remains opposed to reproductive rights.
