The pro-life candidate who replaced pro-abortion activists Wendy Davis in the Texas state legislature has ignited a social media buzz over the pro-life boots she wore on the floor of the Texas state House.
Davis rose to infamous when she wore pink tennis shoes during an all-day-long filibuster of a pro-life bill to ban late-term abortions on babies up to the day of birth. Davis no only lost her bid to stop the late-term abortion ban, her shoes became a staple of pro-abortion politics but they failed to propel her to a gubernatorial victory last November. She lost in a landslide to pro-life Governor Greg Abbott.
Now, Konni Burton, the pro-life candidate who replaced Davis in her Dallas-area state house district, has put a pro-life spin on shoe-wearing. She posted a picture on Facebook of her pro-life boots that have Stand for Life emblazoned on them.
“The reason I got in was because of this fiscal mess our country is in,” Burton told reporter Betsy Woodruff in 2013. “But if she wants to make this about life, bring it.”
