Gregory Wayne Abbott (born November 13, 1957) is an American attorney who has served as the 48th governor of Texas since January 20, 2015. A member of the Republican Party, Abbott previously served as the 50th attorney general of Texas from 2002 to 2015. He is the third governor of any U.S. state to permanently use a wheelchair. He is also the first disabled governor in Texas history.
Between a rock and a trans place
Abbott, Paxton are harming our children, not protecting them I recently received a phone call from a woman I’d never met. She was pretty upset about the “opinion” of our attorney general and our governor that affirming care for trans youth is child abuse.
Some perspective: She believes in smaller government and responsible spending. She has voted Republican for as long as she can remember.
She has never really paid a lot of attention to “social issues” — until her child came out as non-binary. She admitted to me that she had to look up that definition.
That’s a start. She is a loving, caring mom, who wants the best for her child. She is certainly not the picture of an abusive parent — unless you talk to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton or Gov.
