Wendy Davis, the Texas senator who made headlines during a 11-hour pro-abortion filibuster in the State House last year, has admitted that some of the facts about her life story – such as being a single mom who was divorced by the age of 19 – were not exactly truthful.

Breitbart is reporting that Davis admitted to the Dallas Morning News that key elements in her life story, such as how she was a divorced single mother living in a trailer park at the age of 19 who worked her way through college and law school, are not exactly true.

For instance, she testified in a federal lawsuit that she was “divorced by the time I was 19 years old” but she was actually 21 when she divorced.

As for living in a trailer park, she only lived there for a few months before moving into an apartment with her daughter.

She also had help working her way through school. Her second husband, Jeff Davis, a lawyer and the father of her second daughter, paid for her last two years at Texas Christian University and Harvard Law School. He took care of her children while she was away at school and was eventually awarded custody of them when the two divorced in 2005.

According to Jeff, Wendy moved out the day after he made the final payment on her Harvard Law School loan.

“It was ironic,” he said. “I made the last payment, and it was the next day she left.”

Davis, who was accused of adultery in the divorce suit, was ordered to pay $1,200 a month in child support.

Jeff claims she told him that the decision to grant him custody was right because, “you’ll make a good, nurturing father. While I’ve been a good mother, it’s not a good time for me right now.’”

Davis recently decided to come clean with the Dallas Morning News by admitting that there are some chronological errors and incomplete details in her life story.

“My language should be tighter,” she said. “I’m learning about using broader, looser language. I need to be more focused on the detail.”

This could impact her campaign, especially because she has been using her hard-luck narrative to further her political aims.

Davis’ claim to fame came while staging a filibuster – in a pair of bright pink sneakers – to stop the vote on a critical pro-life bill that would ban abortion after 20 weeks, require all clinics to have hospital admitting privileges, and otherwise raise the health and safety standards of abortion clinics in the state.

However, since announcing her bid to run for governor in a state with a strong pro-life majority, she has been trying to put some distance between herself and her radical pro-abortion position by focusing on other issues during her campaign.

Thus far, it does not appear to be working. LifeNews reports that pro-life Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott is currently leading Davis in the polls 40 to 34.
