The thing that has me worried is that Greg Abbott (like his predecessor, John Cornyn, who is now a Texas Senator) got elected to Texas AG on the highly emotional "the best interest of the child" ticket. Both campaigned heavily in "defense of the children" and it paid off for them big time. It sickens me because they don't really care about the children so much as they do their own careers. Cornyn had a short stint as Texas AG before using it as a springboard to something bigger (US Senator), and he helped his (Republican) friend Abbott get his position of Texas AG by doing the same crap.
Perhaps if they both had such strong feeling for the welfare of Texas children, they'd adopt several of these "poor" polygamist children. But I don't see that happening.
