Texas state senator Wendy Davis spoke at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Monday afternoon, talking about her 13-hour filibuster of a bill limiting late-term abortion and establishing higher safety standards at abortion clinics.

Following the speech, THE WEEKLY STANDARD asked Davis to explain the difference between the late-term abortions Davis wants to keep legal and killings for which Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell was charged with murder.
