Resistbot Petition: REALLY? (Texas only)

An open letter to State Governors & Legislatures (Texas only)

REALLY?

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

Greetings. I am a voting constituent in rural west Texas. “Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said rape victims in the state can prevent pregnancies by using emergency contraception pills such as Plan B, The Dallas Morning News reported Friday. In Texas, abortions are banned and do not include exceptions for rape or incest. “We want to support those victims, but also those victims can access health care immediately, as well as to report it.” “By accessing health care immediately, they can get the Plan B pill that can prevent a pregnancy from occurring in the first place,” he added. The Republican governor also told “Lone Star Politics” that reporting a rape to law enforcement “will ensure that the rapist will be arrested and prosecuted.” However, very few rape cases result in an arrest. While there were 13,327 reported rapes in Texas in 2020, there were only 1,828 arrests for rape, according to the state’s department of public safety.” What tone deaf BS. Is this your idea of caring concern for half of your constituents? Keep talking. Go Beto.
