I thought Greg Abbott said he was ending rape. I guess that hasn’t started yet?

We’re still waiting. But you know how Republicans lie.

This is utterly shocking on so many levels. Sorry to change the original focus which is itself shocking, but this means, assuming most rapes do not result in pregnancy, some factor increase on top of 26k is the total number of rapes in Texas in 18 months? My heart is absolutely broken. I’m gutted.

Let's turn that around. It has been learned that Texas has 26,000 rapists in the last 18 months. So, Texas, what are you doing about it? What are you doing to find and convict these criminals? Nothing? Can I hear you say that louder? NOTHING???

Oh but remember Abbott was going to prevent all rapes? He's Lucifer in a suit and wheelchair.

I thought Abbott said he was going to stop rapes so that wouldn't be an issue.

I think Texas needs to do some hard work on the obvious rape culture problem they have, and also allow womens choice to carry or not any unwanted pregnancy,

Just as Greg Abbott wanted.
