They already had the ability to do those things before this. Abbot telling DFPS to investigate people for already existing laws doesn't contribute to any kind of slippery slope. The laws are already on the books, he's just telling the people at DFPS to get off their asses and stop ignoring criminal child abuse by parents who are allowing any kind of medical procedures to change their childrens' physical sexual characteristics. Sounds like he had to wait until the Texas AG got around to publishing a written legal opinion stating that sexual reassignment surgery and hormone treatments for minor children is child abuse.
Any problem with a slippery slope isn't because of what Abbot just did, it would be with the laws he referred to that were already on the books.
I have a problem with both issues—the law and the Governor ordering these investigations.
Much like how I have a problem with governors still forcing kids to mask in blue states.
Any and all authoritarian overreach is a problem for me. That’s not to say I think parents forcing sex changes on their kids is acceptable, but I personally know of people who were hounded in other states because of a directive to be harsher on SIDS reports. Their life was hell for months before the community told the state-designated reporters to shove off.
Well, this is a good point. To me, Abbott handing permission to investigate elective procedures as child abuse is a slippery slope. Too easy for a liberal DFPS employee and government to take your kids for circumcision if you get on the wrong side
Well you shouldn’t be doing that anyway unless you’re Jewish. It aint a christian thing I know that. It was never even common until hospital birth became the norm over home birth. “Yes dr finkelstein if you say we need it then we will do the circ here is our perfect son just bring him back when half his Dick is gone.”
Jewish circumcision wasnt supposed to be the whole of the fore skin either but with technology improvements they started cuttting it all. They used to cut off the over hanging skin They would pull it up and cut .
In the U.S. it was popularized by an asshole by the name of Kellogg, a known eugenicist who worked closely with Sanger and other whack jobs. Now, it's so normalised parents think it's a very good thing, but they're idiots... Once the most sensitive parts of the penis are cut off, they're sold by the hospital for massive profit to the cosmetic industry for wrinkled bitches to rub on their faces. Well documented, a dickskin shiller was recently on with a Steve Harvey, tricked him into rubbing some on hand.
I’m also concerned about what kind of precedent this sets for government intervention in matters of child “healthcare.”
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
They could turn it around and use it to take away your kids for any reason - the slippery slope angle.
Essentially what they're doing in Canada to truckers kids and pets.

The same can happen here.
Blame the victim

True that is accurate - like all government programs it grew far outside its original intent.
