Politicians take actions that poll well with the groups that elected them and engage in some attempts to convince people that some things are a good idea. They cannot sway public sentiment with ease and they certainly aren’t going to convince all the Catholics in Texas who recently voted for them that abortion access should be prioritized. If you take actions that poll poorly and lose power, all those actions will simply be reversed, winning the new holder of that office support and helping them stay in power.
I also wish people learned the difference between priority and important. I suspect these people do, they are trying to resew division because right now the fovus is on corporate corruption and greed

They don’t give a fuck about polls and opinion.
Not arresting people leaving the state would still be a huge improvement.
The incoming AG has already said he won’t be enforcing any of that.
Religion is a monstrous evil.

Do you think corporate corruption and greed doesn’t fund anti-women’s-reproductive-health measures?
The Texas Senate is still heavily red. Abortion would be a non-starter on top of what you’ve said here.
