In these last few weeks, nearly every time we turn on the news, Paxton is suing someone else over culture war issues. Each lawsuit is more egregious than the previous, almost as if it were done with intentional callousness.

This is a topic that we heard about during the Republican Party of Texas Convention, as several GOP members tried to add a plank to their platform that would have prevented pregnant women from traveling.
