Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : In addition to legislation that prohibits transgender Texans from competing on school sports teams that correspond with their gender identity (Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick's pet obsession), Abbott is asking lawmakers to ban the teaching in public schools of so-called critical race theory, which basically argues that centuries of racist policies made a lasting impression on America; go figure.
43% : In addition, Abbott is still focused on abortion, despite the fact that lawmakers during the regular session passed a "heartbeat" bill that bans abortion as early as six weeks.
