Dear John,

Texas Republicans keep telling us that they will never prosecute women for seeking or receiving an abortion. Because — well, they don’t really say why. They just say they won’t. *Should we believe them?* I don’t. Already, Republicans view harm to women and their families as necessary collateral damage in their broader war for political power.

Every year they file dozens of anti-abortion bills, trying to out-do the prior year’s slate of absurd, often unconstitutional, always hostile and unempathetic measures. At some point soon they’re going to run out of things to do short of prosecuting, convicting, and incarcerating women.

In fact, in recent years a Republican legislator filed a bill to impose the death penalty on any woman who gets an abortion. It was not given a hearing. But would it tomorrow? Things that once seemed positively outlandish four years ago now pass the Texas Legislature routinely today. Assurances now have little credibility.

John, what’s happening is a horror show. Consider Texas House Bill 7, a bill to block the importation of misoprostol and mifepristone, two drugs used for non-abortion and abortion medical care. HB-7 is ***triply*** unconstitutional — a flagrant, brazen transgression of the principle of separation of powers on which this country and state was founded.

I argued on the Senate floor that HB-7 unlawfully delegates the enforcement power of the state, that it violates the Texas Constitution’s standing to sue provision, and that it violates the due process of law clause of the United States Constitution. **They didn’t care.**

***Because they care more about scoring political points with their abortion wars than they do about women and their families, more than they do about the rule of law or constitutional foundations.*** In this latter respect, it’s a threat to more than abortion rights and healthcare for women. It’s a threat to everything.

This is precisely why state Attorney Generals matter. Across the country, Democratic Attorneys General have served as crucial counterweights to extremist legislatures. From Michigan to North Carolina, Democratic AGs in red states have defended reproductive freedom, voting access, and civil liberties when their legislatures attempted to erode them. **Texas deserves the same.**

In today’s climate, electing a Democrat to lead the OAG may be the most powerful counter Texans can have against executive overreach and legislative complicity.

That’s why I’m running to be Texas’s next attorney general. I can be the check and the balance in the state that lacks checks and balances.
