Supporters of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott watch his debate with Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke, Friday, Sept. 30, 2022, in McAllen, Texas. If you were waiting for a knockout punch from either the Republican incumbent Gov. Greg Abbott or Democratic challenger Beto O’Rourke during Friday’s debate, you were likely disappointed.
However, if you could look beyond the game show lightning-round feel, the sterile, audience-less debate room, and the scripted talking points, the debate distilled a caricature that so often prevails in Texas politics: the tough-talking conservative versus the wimpy, out-of-touch, latte-sipping liberal.
When Abbott touted his credentials fighting for border security, O’Rourke reminded the governor that he’s the one who actually lives on the border. He argued that firsthand experience makes him better equipped to craft an immigration strategy that both helps alleviate the burden on border towns such as El Paso and McAllen, and doesn’t use National Guard officers like toy soldiers.
who don’t favor the absolute ban Abbott signed, providing no exceptions for victims of rape or incest.as the option for victims to avoid pregnancy, and says the state will even foot the bill, which would certainly help many. But he refuses to account for the women and girls who may lack the ability, the freedom of movement, or the wherewithal after a traumatic assault, to access Plan B within the 48 hours it’s most likely to be effective.
