Texas lawmakers on both sides of the aisle talked schools, abortion and guns in advance of next year’s session in a range of panels at The Texas Tribune Festival.
“If I get a chance to vote for an exception to rape, I will vote yes,” the East Texas senator said., D-Houston, denounced what she said was Republicans’ governmental overreach in banning abortion. She said the blanket banning of abortions, which provides little clarity about when doctors can provide the procedure, was out of step with voters.
“The maturity of an 18-year-old is still in high school versus a 21-year-old in college. … There’s a lot that changes,” he said.“There’s no bottom here. It is a fetish and a cult of guns that is causing us to go beyond the looking glass,” said state Rep. “I don’t think it's an accident. I think there’s a lot of intentionality in dismantling trust to teachers, to public education,” González said.Republicans said the challenges facing schools, especially in rural areas, may not be solved by school vouchers.
