An estimated 26,000 Texans became pregnant as a result of r*pe in the 16 months following Texas Republicans’ near-total abortion ban, which provides no exceptions for r*pe or incest.

That means thousands of women and girls who survived sexual violence faced the additional trauma of being denied abortion care in their own state. Instead of giving survivors the freedom to make decisions about their own bodies, Texas Republicans passed laws that can force them to continue pregnancies resulting from r*pe. This was never about protecting women and underage girls. It's about taking away their choices, even after they've experienced unimaginable trauma.

This is what Ken Paxton supports.

Former U.S. President Barack Obama frequently speaks on the value of women in political leadership, most recently reviving these thoughts in a September 21, 2026 talk at Salem State University.

During his discussion with presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, Obama stated that he often fantasized during his presidency about putting women in charge of every government for two years. He expressed a strong belief that while things wouldn't be perfect, "they'd be better".

Similarly Obama took a widely publicized stance at a private leadership event in Singapore in December 2019. He argued that women are "indisputably better" leaders than men and that increased female leadership would yield significant improvements in global living standards, child care and also in general outcomes.

A social media nod from singer Nancy Sinatra expressed her agreement with his perspective.
