Texas Republicans, Governor Abbott, Received $250K from Clinic That Chemically Castrates Children
Hold The Line ^ | 05/21/2021 | Lauren Witzke

Posted on 05/23/2021 7:37:10 PM PDT by Jan_Sobieski

Campaign Finance records show that Texas Governor Abbott, Lt Governor Dan Patrick, and House Speaker Dade Phelan received hundreds of thousands of dollars from a PAC for a clinic that offers chemical castrations to transgender children.

UT Southwestern Medical Center offers hormone therapy, chemical castration, menstruation suppression, and puberty blockers to minors who struggle with gender dysphoria. Campaign finance records show that the friends of UT Southwestern Center handed out well over $250,000 to Abbott, Patrick, and Phelan since 2015.

Governor Abbott, Dan Patrick, and Dade Phelan are responsible for speaking out against and blocking multiple transgender minor bills in the Texas House and the Senate. It is more than obvious that these elected officials do not represent the interests of their constituents, but more so the interest of the Chemical Castration Lobby.

“1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”

This is the reason we are losing our republic…

The question here is whether they even know that this is going on. Not everyone who receives political donations from PACs can necessarily know what’s going on with them and what they’re linked to.

I’d say they need to go, but Texans would probably elect another Bush.

UTSouthwest is the biggest medical academic center in DFW. Pretty sure their PAC gives money to both sides.

So what?

Politicians receive PAC money from UT Southwestern.

OMG!!!! Better vote them out of office!!!!!

This is just dumb.

Vote them out of office because my Property Tax has gone up 48% in the last 5 years. They Actually are nefarious in this case.

There is no doubt in my mind that this is a liberal hit piece. DeSantis has been under constant attack for months now. My local congressman (Vern Buchanan) also under constant attack. Gaetz also under constant attack. The (liberal) newspapers are running at full throttle with ugly editorial cartoons and one article loaded with lies after another. It’s non-stop and probably will be for the next four years.

Democrats are scared to death that their end of days is upon them.

Let’s hope they’re correct for once.

Money corrupts so many people. So many are so easily bought. Those with Honor and Integrity are too few and far between. The Founders warned us the Republic they have given us is for the Moral. It is totally incompatible with immoral peoples.
We are discovering EXACTLY how true their proclamation is. As the USA devolves into more IMMORALITY our American Society is becoming more and more unmanageable.
Trump was an anchor in this storm. But, the Powers that be in DC and across the statehouses in the country colluded and conspired to Eliminate him at ALL COSTS. Their own personal interests were far more important to them than the welfare of the Average American than Trump’s Policies that benefitted the Common American.
In fact, the policies Trump implemented that benefitted the Common American hurt the Political Class and the Uber Wealthy who for years have been benefitting from Global Policies that Crushed the Common American but enriched them and their cronies. So, they conspired to Eliminate him and Kill his Pro-America Agenda.

Yes, and look how the hit piece characterizes it as a "clinic". It's a large medical center. It looks to me like these folks goal is to take out Republicans and elect Democrats. They have failed in Texas, so they need to turn conservatives against themselves. Sadly, some conservatives will take the bait, hook, line and sinker.

BTW, when I search the web for "friends of UT Southwestern Center", the only thing I find is links to fringe blogs making the same claim as this post. They appear to be a very small 529b "PAC", but I find nothing about them. I see no evidence that this PAC supports, funds or lobbies for the treatments claimed in this blog post. Hopefully, Texans will investigate these claims carefully before destroying their own and electing Democrats.

With stuff like this the source and the background of both by liner(reporter) should be closely checked, Also there should have been a followup and the reaction of the recipients included in their report.

Why do they use "couched language" in articles?
Governor Abbott, Dan Patrick, and Dade Phelan are responsible for speaking out against and blocking multiple transgender minor bills in the Texas House and the Senate.
Using the phrase "blocking multiple transgender minor bills" could refer to bills for chemically castrating minors or against chemically castrating minors.   Stop this intentional obfuscation!

I’d take the $250k and immediately get a law passed to put the company out of business. Then I would send that company a thank you card for paying for their own demise.

The critical element is whether the rats will accept losing.

The “company” is UTSW, the largest health center in Dallas, TX, and the greater southwest. This is a hit piece for people who scan the headline and don’t read the article.

And if UTSW has chemically castrated even one child ever in its history, I would take their $250K and then pass a law that destroys that organization.

Can you tell me that UTSW have never done so?
