AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 9 (UPI) -- Greg Abbott, the Republican candidate for Governor in Texas, has accused his Democratic opponent Wendy Davis of using her new memoir to illegally help her campaign.
Davis rose to national fame when she completed a dramatic filibuster to block a new law restricting abortions in Texas. Her memoir, Forgetting to Be Afraid, was released Tuesday, and early copies revealed Davis had an abortion and that her mother nearly killed herself.
