Greg Abbott, We’re Not Impressed: 10 Things To Know

Yep, Abbott backed a Texas law that forced women to have a medically unnecessary ultrasound before they could get an abortion.

Along with Governor Rick Perry and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, Abbott called for passage of legislation that would not only require the ultrasound prior the abortion, but make it available for the woman to view.

In 2010, a Grapevine women’s health clinic was selling IUDs imported from Canada. These IUDs were available in the US, but the the ones from Canada were cheaper. The clinic voluntarily stopped distributing the birth control devices, but Abbott went ahead and sued them anyway.

Then Abbott investigated baseless allegations against Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast and cost them $1.4 million to settle - or else share the private medical information of thousands of women.

Abbott wrote in an official court filing that “redistricting decisions were designed to increase the Republican Party’s electoral prospects at the expense of the Democrats.” A federal appeals court found that the maps were drawn with the intent to discriminate against minority voters. Emphasis ours because REALLY?!

That’s A LOT of time on your hands, Abbott.

Abbott has cost Texas millions of dollars in his endless (and mostly unsuccessful) lawsuits of the Obama Administration.

True story: After experiencing freezing temperatures in Midland, he once tweeted, "Whatever happened to global warming?" It was January.

Let’s think about that. Greg Abbott helped launch Ted “Government Shutdown” Cruz, Ted “Green Eggs and Ham” Cruz's career. THANKS, GREG ABBOTT.

No, really, Abbott thinks Democrats and the Obama Administration are more threatening than nuclear weapons.
