Missouri Activists Stage 72-Hour "Women's Filibuster" To Protest 72-Hour Waiting Period Bill

MSNBC: LIVE NOW: 72-hour Missouri abortion filibuster, by Irin Carmon:

Missouri progressive activists are staging a nonstop, 72-hour “women’s filibuster” on the steps of the Missouri State Capitol building today to protest an abortion bill that would force a woman to wait three days between two clinic visits before having an abortion.

The activists’ hope is to prevent Republicans in the state Senate from breaking a Democratic filibuster on the bill, which already passed the House. The legislative session ends Friday. . . .
