I trust Texas women to make decisions about their own bodies, to shape their own destinies in consultation with their family members, their doctors, their faith leaders.
I don't believe that's a place for government.
That's a belief I hold not despite my faith, but because of my faith.
Jesus never talks about abortion.
The Bible is silent on abortion.
And when that happens with a social issue as important as abortion, we Christians have to take Scripture as a whole, and we've got to try to make some kind of ethical determination.
I want to acknowledge that our trans community needs abortion care too.
Defending trans Texans is something we have to do every day.
God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between.
God is non-binary.
I love, and just say this because it's on my mind, the trans children who showed up yesterday at the state capitol to advocate for their humanity.
They shouldn't have to, but it was an inspiration to watch.
And then in terms of other issues, Governor Abbott has filled this special session agenda with far-right conspiracy theories about trans children causing problems on sports teams, which we know does not occur in the state of Texas, or critical race theory, which we know is not being taught in classrooms in the state of Texas.
We should treat our southern border like our front porch.
We should have a giant welcome mat out front and we should have a lock on the door.
Those two things are not mutually exclusive.
You have a right to know who's coming into your house and you should be welcoming the stranger into your home and providing that hospitality.
Are you okay with voter ID?
So voter ID is currently required in the state of Texas.
I opposed having to have a driver's license to vote.
