- Abbott’s commitment to the Rule of Law being construed as being supportive of abortion – Fairly shady to construe Abbott’s support for the Rule of Law and handling all through that process as personally being supportive of abortion. My take of what he said is that as governor, he will enforce the law as legally enacted by the Legislature as opposed to issuing executive orders and the like to work outside the Rule of Law as Wendy Davis has said she would do in expanding Medicare/Obamacare.
