The Texas Legislature began a short special session today that conservatives hope will make the state a much harder place to obtain an abortion. As activists stormed the state Capitol, pundits waged the abortion wars on Twitter. Here at Salon, we've published a few of these "best of the worst" roundups but they're not usually this angry:

And this appeared at National Review's blog the Corner:
Texas state senator Dan Patrick criticized Wendy Davis’s filibuster in opposition to SB 5 on Laura Ingraham’s radio program this morning, remarking that in attacking the bill, Davis seemed to be advocating for “lower standards for abortion clinics.”
