“If you kill someone in Texas, we kill you right back.”
I am sure most Texans outside of Austin are proud of this fact. Hopefully, Abbott will figure this out and get on to more important issues.

In all fairness, the Great Hanging was done by Secessionist Democrats and those hanged were Republicans.
Switch to hanging.
They have a name for people who change their position in the face of new or better information; they’re called “rational”
Based on the abuse drug suppliers have been receiving, Abbott should simply assert that revealing the names of these companies puts them in line for unreasonable abuse.
LOL. The AP sees Wendy Davis crashing and burning and is desparate to gin up any article that will slow Abbott’s momentum. So they create this “difficult choices” article to make it look like Abbott is going to make a “controversial” decision. Nice try AP indeed.
There is a big difference between Abbott’s position on the death penalty and Davis’ position on the death penalty.
Abbott believes a person must be convicted by a jury of his or her peers for a crime of extreme violence resulting in the death of one or more other persons.
Davis believes a person can be executed at the behest of that person’s mother for simply being inconvenient to the mother.
Why not use the illegal drugs like heroin and meth that are seized from drug dealers? I’m sure a more than lethal dose administered by IV would do the job nicely. Protesters would have a hard time saying these drugs were inhumane as thousands of addicts would do anything to use them.
