Nearly a year after its founding, Mothers Against Greg Abbott has snowballed into a Texas activism hub boasting more than 50,000 members on Facebook.
Screenshot taken from a satirical video produced by Mothers Against Greg Abbott depicting a situation where the doctor must call the Governor to get medical approval for a procedure to terminate a fetus with fatal birth defect., where a pregnant woman and her partner are preparing for the worst.
“It’s really important for us to tell people that, when it comes to women's reproductive rights and women's health care, there is no one-size-fits-all solution, which is what the far-right is proposing,” said Nancy Thompson, the founder of the group. “In order to have change for Texas women, and for us not to be second-class citizens, we all need to vote for change.”
“After school starts and everybody comes back from vacation, we can hit the ground running,” said Thompson, a 52-year-old mother of three. “From the middle of August until November, it's going to be crazy. We've been trying hard to build up our group, build out the community, start producing content, line up the content for the fall, line up the webinars, line up the messaging.”
In the months since, the name has become a rallying cry for mothers and other activists across the state. The group includes Democrats, independents and some Republicans, Thompson said — many of whom don’t agree on specific issues but also don’t like the direction of the state.
