The right wing pundits poll asking if Wendy Davis stepped over the line with her wheel chair ad backfired. An overwhelming majority says no.
My observation (and this comes from someone who depended on a power chair for five of the past ten years) Abbot is a creep who gives folks in a wheelchair a bad rap. He got rich from a $10 million court settlement from lawsuit against the homeowner whose tree fell on him; then he set out to prevent others who are injured from getting even modest settlements to cover some of their medical and lost income. He has one standard for Abbot and the rest of the world are peasants who don't deserve a fair shot. He gives mobility impaired people a bad rap.
Maybe the tree injured his brain. I thought I'd read lots of stupid briefs but the one Abbott filed in the 5th Circuit Court of Texas this week against same sex marriages is the heights of stupid. He argues that same sex marriages will increase the number of out-of-wedlock births! Seems something collided with his brain and convinced him that if G/L adults are forbidden to marry each other they'll rush out and "procreate" with the opposite sex. Furthermore, he assumes that they'll all procreate outside of marriage. Gee. what a convoluted journey one can make through the thought processes of the man who thinks he should be Texas's next Governor. Even if folks disapprove of same-sex marriage they should be afraid of electing someone so incredibly stupid as Greg Abbott. His mental and moral state has nothing to do with being in a wheel chair. I know numerous sane and intelligent people who are mobility impaired. Greg Abbot fails to measure up to their standards.
