Seems to me Greg Abbott, and the rest of his lowlife Republican cohorts, are intending to create aborted pregnancies all across the State of Texas by disallowing mask mandates.
Every pregnant person in Texas, who could catch Covid, is at risk of losing their baby if they get sick.
Greg Abbott is purposely, and with forethought and intent, aiding and abetting Covid into possibly causing pregnancies to abort. Why would he do this? Doesn't matter, as it turns out.
There is no real legal standard involved in filing one of these suits. Neither does a plaintiff require any kind of standing (besides being a Texan) in order to file suit. And no pregnancy has to actually be ended, in order to file suit.
