AUSTIN, Texas — Five Texas district attorneys pushed back on Gov. Greg Abbott's directive in which he called gender-transitioning and affirming procedures as"child abuse."
"We are deeply disturbed by Governor Abbott and Attorney General Paxton's cruel directives treating transgender children's access to life-saving, gender-affirming care as 'child abuse,'" the letter read. They added,"We will not allow the governor and attorney general to disregard Texan children's lives in order to score political points."
In a Feb. 22 letter, Abbott ordered the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate this kind of care among youths in the state following an official declaration from state Attorney General Ken Paxton that also called it"child abuse."
