Abbott basically outlaws responding to the pandemic in any way whatsoever.

BREAKING: @GregAbbott_TX's latest executive order outlaws vaccine requirements from governments or entities receiving state funds.

ALSO it seems to remove local officials' ability to impose restrictions if hospitalizations go above 15% of capacity.

5. Kids being flown to TX hospitals from OK

Per Dr. Ding's twitter.

6. Don't forget

the federal government can no longer use his buses. He’s taking his ball and going home

[Skittles]

7. he's "pro-life"

dontcha know

he stresses "personal responsibility", as if the kind of people who would vote for Donald Fucking Trump have ANY sense of responsibility

[bluedevil4]

8. Right

I guess he’s pro life to only white babies

[Skittles]

9. he's not pro-any babies

he's a misogynist

[bluedevil4]

11. He is

married to a woman 👩

[SoCalDavidS]

13. So What?

Welcome to DU.

[bluedevil4]

15. So buttons

Thank you

I love was responding to skittles.

[ShazzieB]

28. SoCalDavidS has a point, though.

What does Abbott being married to a woman have to do with anything?

It's perfectly possible for a man to be married to a woman and be misogynistic in his political policies. It's more than possible. It happens All. The. Damned. Time. Wanting to have a woman around to cook, clean, and fuck is perfectly compatible with mjsogyny.

Many misogynistc men are married to women. Many so-called "pro life" men are misogynists. Abbott is obviously a misogynist. Actions speak WAY louder than words, and his recent actions SCREAM that he doesn't give a shit about women OR babies.

Btw, if you're here to defend Greg Abbott, you are in the wrong place. Just thought you should know.

[Skittles]

16. LOLOL

and I bet you have black friends

[bluedevil4]

17. I have

all kinds of friends.

[bluedevil4]

19. The word

love” came from my phone not my fingers

[Skittles]

22. are you replying to yourself?

[bluedevil4]

23. Sort of

I didn’t want you to get to excited and think I had fallen in love with you

[bluedevil4]

24. Or though

I could but I just replied to myself again. Ok I’ll stop posting

[Skittles]

25. *TOO

and by the way, I would say the overwhelming majority of misogynists are married......stick around and LEARN something

[bluedevil4]

26. I know and I also meant although

but that would make too many times for me replying to myself

[bluedevil4]

27. I'm sorry for me you're married

But happy for you. I’m really done

[viva la]

10. A new rightwing meme now is...

What about the people "walking in" through the border? The government isn't requiring them to be vaccinated!

I said, gov. Abbott has banned mandates! He doesn't care about Texans!

[Hekate]

12. Bloody-hands Abbot. Line up the body bags in front of his house

[liberal_mama]

14. On my Facebook feed, I'm seeing more and more prayer requests from people in Texas & Louisiana

They are like, "Covid is real! I'm in the ICU on oxygen, pray I don't have to go on a ventilator." I don't know what's going to happen in Texas. How will they bring these case counts down without any mitigations?

[GoCubsGo]

18. This fucker belongs in prison.

What the hell is wrong with you, Texas?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

20. Greg is being challenged in the GOP primary by a tea party nutcase and Q-Anon nut case

Greg is scared and it seems that TFG endorsement of Greg is not enough to assure greg winning this primary. Allen West is a major league nut case and q-Anon true believer and Greg is worried

[PSPS]

21. All of these things hang their hat on the "emergency use authorization" classification

Do we know when these vaccines will get full FDA approval? That will knock all of these "edicts" off the table.
