Greg Abbott is more careful than Borbert, Greene, or Trump when he speaks. He
still has that rotten character of Republicans, but he does focus loyally on his
party's talking points. Recently, in the debates and rants about banning abortion
access in Texas, he defended forcing victims of rape or incest to involuntarily
carry a fetus to term. He made no accommodation and regurgitated the usual
UNHELPFUL talking points:
"Let's make something very clear: Rape is a crime, and
Texas will work tirelessly to make sure that we eliminate
all rapists from the streets of Texas by aggressively
going out and arresting them and prosecuting them and
getting them off the streets."
-- Greg Abbott September, 2021
None of that helps a victim after the fact. It is similar to the "good guy
with a gun" talking point pertaining to gun safety. It does nothing to remedy
the harm to the first victims before responders do into action.

- 2024: Climate Change Comments
In February 2024, during a speech at a conservative think tank, Abbott stated that climate change was "a natural occurrence" and that humans had no control over it. This statement contradicted scientific consensus and sparked widespread criticism.
- 2024: Border Wall Claims
In March 2024, while visiting a border wall construction site, Abbott claimed that the wall would prevent illegal immigration and drug trafficking. However, experts pointed out that the wall's effectiveness was questionable and that alternative solutions existed.
- 2025: Vaccine Mandate Stance
In January 2025, during a press conference, Abbott stated that vaccine mandates were an infringement on personal liberty. This statement came despite his own administration implementing COVID-19 vaccination requirements for state employees.
- 2025: Education Funding Cuts
In February 2025, Abbott proposed significant cuts to education funding in his state budget. Critics argued that these cuts would negatively impact public schools and students' educational opportunities.
