阻止了我们禁止堕胎

但它确实允许我们

在共和党的领导下，由于立法机构不成比例

This is Alicia. How may I help you?
这就是所谓的陷阱法：
This is what are known as TRAP laws:
对堕胎机构的针对性监管
Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers
这些法律的目的是
And the purpose of these laws is
尽可能地使提供堕胎服务变得困难
to make it as difficult as possible to provide abortion services,
从而禁止尽可能多的堕胎
prohibit as many abortions as you can,
让发生的手术尽可能的昂贵
make the ones that do occur as expensive as possible
他们所做的很明显
It’s so obvious what they’re doing
我的目标是，让堕胎在任何阶段都成为过去
My goal is to make abortion, at any stage, a thing of the paSt.
所以这些限制措施将导致
So these restrictions would shut down
德克萨斯州数十家妇女健康中心关闭
dozens of women’s health centers all across Texas
这就是为什么参议员温迪•戴维斯
And that’s why Senator Wendy Davis
决定站出来为妇女的权利而斗争
decided to stand up and fight for the rights of women
所以这个法案被提交到参议院
So this bill went to the Senate
但是，因为这是会议的最后一天，时间紧迫
But, because it was the final day of the session, the clock was ticking
这给了我一个阻挠议事的机会
And that gave me an opportunity for the filibuster
各位，我今天站在这里…
Members, I’m rising on the floor today
这意味着我有大约13个小时的谈话
That meant I had about 13 hours of talking
来确保这项法案不会通过

温迪 • 戴维斯参议员必须坚持到午夜
Senator Wendy Davis must make it to midnight
特别会议到此结束
That is the end of the special session
实际上，她是在浪费时间，耗费钟点
Essentially she’s wasting time, running out the clock
她是怎么做的？现在
The way she’s doing that? Right now,
她正在读反对这项立法的德州妇女的信件
she’s reading letters from Texas women who oppose this legislation
…为了让她们的声音被听到
…in order for their voices to be heard
…告诉我，任何妊娠都将非常… – 而且冗长的演说迅速传播开
…told me any pregnancy will be very…- And the filibuster went viral
她不仅是一位反对这项法案的女性
Not only was she a woman opposing the bill,
而且是这个房♥间里仅有的几个女性之一
but she was one of the only women in the room
这是一个互联网时刻
It was an internet moment
人们把他们的孩子留给邻居照看
People had left their kids with their neighbors
然后开上几小时的车去到奥斯丁那里
and driven hours to Austin to be there
学生们离开了他们的大学校园
Students had left their college campuses
来到奥斯丁，聆听温迪的长篇大论
and came to Austin to hear Wendy filibuster
这些德州人依赖少数的…
These are Texans who relied on the minority
我是德克萨斯人
I’m a Texan
从来没见过像我们在那里看到的那种激进主义浪潮
Never seen the outpouring of activism like we saw there
你简直进不了议会大厦
You literally could not get in the capitol
所有走廊都是人，每个房♥间都满了
Every annex was full, every room was full
这是非同寻常的
It was extraordinary
她做出的另一个裁决是，如果有…
…another ruling she made was if there was a
大约在午夜前的15分钟
And about 15 minutes before midnight,
程序性的规则被打破了
procedural rules of order were broken
第三…
…and the third
为了结束我的冗长演说
in order to bring my filibuster to an end
在场的人都知道，他们违反规定
And the people who were there understood that rules were being broken
是为了让反对法案的人禁声
in order to silence opposition to a bill
在与参议员协商之后…
After consultation with the parliamentarian and after
而且他们已经受够了
And they’d had enough
…被采取，并维持
…well taken and is sustained
扯淡！
Bullshit!
主席承认参议员…
The chair recognizes Senator
让她说！让她说！让她说！
Let her speak! Let her speak! Let her speak!
温迪！温迪！温迪！温迪！
Wendy! Wendy! Wendy! Wendy!
当他们开始尖叫时
And as they began to scream,
走廊里的每个人都开始尖叫
everyone up and down the hallways began to scream,
圆形大厅的每一层，以及国会大厦外的草坪上
and at every level of the rotunda and outside on the capitol lawn
我可以真切地感受到
And I could literally feel
他们的声音和能量的振动
the vibration of their voices and their energy
还有他们脚步声的冲击
and the pounding of their feet
请保持秩序，我们正在投票中
If I can have order. We are in the middle of a vote
秘书已经开始投票了
The secretary has started the vote
它拖延了足够的时间
It ate up enough of the clock
最后的投票直到12:03还没完成
that the final vote wasn’t taken until 12:03
众位，现在已经是午夜了，所以…
Members, it’s now past midnight. And so…
这也被称为“人♥民♥阻挠议事”，确实如此
And it became known as the people’s filibuster. Rightly so
这是参议员温迪•戴维斯的原话，好吗？
This is straight from Senator Wendy Davis, okay?
等会儿再鼓掌
Hold your applause
首先，“我爱你们”…
First, I love you guys. Okay?
我们也爱你，温迪！
We love you, too, Wendy!
“因此，副州长同意5号♥禁令已死”
“So the lieutenant governor has agreed that SB-5 is dead”
前几天在参议院阻挠议事的那个女人
The woman who filibustered the Senate the other day,
她出生在艰难的环境中
she was born into difficult circumstances
她是一个单身女人的女儿
She’s the daughter of a single woman
她自己也是个十几岁的母亲
She was a teenage mother herself
她最终从哈佛法学院毕业
She managed to eventually graduate from Harvard Law School
并在德州参议院任职
and serve in the Texas Senate
不幸的是，她没有从自己的例子中吸取教训
It’s unfortunate that she hasn’t learned from her own example
每个人都必须有机会充分发挥自己的潜能
that every life must be given a chance to realize its full potential
每一个生命都很重要
and that every life matters
我们成功地扼杀了这个法案
We had successfully killed the bill
但是几天之内我们就被召回了
But we were called right back within a few days
然而，这一次没办法阻挠议事
And, of course, this time there was no way to filibuster
