AUSTIN, Texas (AP) ? Gov. Rick Perry is calling for the Texas Legislature to meet in a second special session to pass restrictions on abortion.
The first such effort died following a filibuster and rollicking late Tuesday night protest.
The announcement gives Republicans another crack at passing sweeping anti-abortion rules that would close nearly all clinics performing the procedure in the country's second-largest state.
It passed the House, but died after Democratic Sen. Wendy Davis led a more than 12-hour filibuster effort. Hundreds of protesters then cheered, disrupting Senate proceedings as the session closed at midnight.
Perry can call as many 30-day extra sessions as he likes, but lawmakers can only take up those issues he assigns.
