Good riddance.

Sets up an interesting gubernatorial race in Texas for the first time in several decades. Wendy Davis v. Gregg Abott.

I think she'll run. She won't win, but she'll run. People in Texas are too stupid to vote for someone that actually has their best interests at heart.

Abbott is an interesting story. He suffered a spinal cord injury when a tree fell on him when he just happened to be jogging by years ago and has been in a wheelchair ever since. The millions of dollars he received in his lawsuit settlement apparently so incensed him that he became an aggressive proponent of every facet of pro-insurance company tort reform proposed by the Texas legislature. He wouldn't get a nickel now for his injuries due to the draconian anti-jury policies he has propounded and advocated. He is a total political animal, just like Perry. Every single thing he does is geared toward getting him re-elected. He has done nothing of consequence as attorney general of Texas.

About Texas Attorney General
Greg Abbott


Attorney General Greg Abbott was reelected as the 50th Attorney General of Texas on November 2, 2010. Prior to his election as attorney general, Greg Abbott served as a Justice on the Texas Supreme Court and as a State District Judge in Harris County.

As the state's chief law enforcement official, Attorney General Abbott has made protecting children and families and values the focus of his administration. Shortly after taking office, Attorney General Abbott established a Cyber Crimes Unit to arrest criminals who use the Internet to prey upon children; a Fugitive Unit to arrest convicted sex offenders who violate their parole; and an expanded Medicaid Fraud Control Unit to crack down on elder abuse and waste of taxpayer dollars. Since taking office, General Abbott has collected more than $24 billion in child support for Texas children.

In his capacity as the state's lawyer, Attorney General Abbott oversees more than 700 attorneys who represent the State of Texas. General Abbott has personally appeared in courtrooms around the state and has obtained indictments against criminals charged with offenses ranging from attempted aggravated assault of a child to capital murder. In March 2005, General Abbott personally appeared before the United States Supreme Court, where he successfully defended the constitutionality of the Ten Commandments display that adorns the Texas Capitol grounds.

General Abbott's career in public service began in Houston, where he served as a highly rated state trial judge in the 129th District Court for three years and was named "Trial Judge of the Year" by the Texas Association of Civil Trial and Appellate Specialists. In 1995, then-Governor George W. Bush appointed Abbott to the Texas Supreme Court, where he served with distinction. Twice elected to the Texas Supreme Court, Abbott earned numerous awards, including "Jurist of the Year" from the Texas Review of Law & Politics and Appellate Specialists; and "Appellate Judge of the Year" from the Texas Chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates."

An active participant in his community, General Abbott has held leadership positions in numerous organizations, including the Central Texas Chapter of Goodwill Industries, the Governor's Committee to Promote Adoption, Justice for All, and the Texas Institute for Rehabilitation and Research Foundation. In 2004, General Abbott served as Honorary State Chairman of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Texas.

A native Texan, Attorney General Abbott was born in Wichita Falls and raised in Duncanville. After graduating from The University of Texas with a B.B.A. in Finance, he received his law degree from Vanderbilt University. Shortly after graduating from law school, he was partially paralyzed by a falling tree while jogging. He and his wife, Cecilia, a former school teacher and principal, have been married for 31 years. They live in Austin with their daughter, Audrey.

Most women do not agree with her position on allowing late term abortions. A June National Journal poll found that 50% of women support and 43% oppose a ban on abortion after 20 weeks, except in cases of rape or incest.

And a Gallop poll in January found that 80% of Americans think abortion should be illegal in the third trimester and 64% think abortion should be illegal in the second trimester.

But you are right that if she runs for governor, she will not win.

First of all, GALLUP poll doesn't speak for Texas. In fact, Ive got to call BULLSHIT on that. Plus, you're very weak in your cut and paste support for your woman-hating vitriol.

if Davis or Castro can raise the money -- or Bill White for that matter -- the GIMP is toast. (He made his millions in a personal injury lawsuit BTW.).

Second of all...

ADIOS MOFO!

Texas is more conservative that most of America as a whole. If you don't believe it, just look at the last several general elections.

Do you have a poll to back up what you just said or are you just spewing your BS? Or even a poll which disputes the 2 polls I cited?

Keep in mind, we are talking about late term abortions here. I challenge you to find a reputable poll which shows support for late term abortions in Texas, or even across America for that matter. You won't find one, especially after the horrors exposed in the Gosnell late term abortion murder trial.

Adios Mr. Dipshit of the Year.

actually, bubba, you cited a Gallop (sic) poll that mentioned mid term abortions as well. Not just late term.

Challenge away, woman hater. Obviously you love government control so much that you would deny more than half America's population freedom. I suppose you hate the fucking constitution too...

Snick!

Oh, the opposition to abortions has little, if anything, to do with females, unless they are fetuses.

You quote the bio posted on his website as support? And, I'm the one eating the skittles?

But you are right that if she runs for governor, she will not win.
But, most women do support the right to choose and the purpose of the bill is to eliminate that right. Only 1 or 2 % of abortions occur after 20 weeks, the bill isn't designed to address that issue. It's purpose is to shut down all abortion providers by mandating a set of draconian and unnecessary requirements like forcing the providers to have surgical suites, have an ER within a certain number of miles and require the physicians to have admission privileges at local hospitals. Some estimates are that if the bill passes, it will shut down 80% of abortion providers in Texas. So, let's call it what it is.
