How best to tell the story of Texas’s frustration with Gov. Greg Abbott? Through the medium of song. “Young Greg Abbott: A FuQusical” had its first two full performances on Oct. 18 in Austin. @oconnell reviewed the show for @TexasObserver. The team behind it now want to take it on the road. “We really don’t want him to have a national profile, and, if he thinks of having one, we want to be in his ear as this very annoying little pesky punk show following him around,” co-creator Brently Heilbron says.

Yes, Texas’s abortion laws are killing women. @ProPublica reports on another case — 18-year-old Neveah Crain, who was diagnosed with sepsis but sent home because her six-month fetus had a heartbeat, and on a subsequent visit, had delayed care because the obstetrician insisted on two ultrasounds to “confirm fetal demise.” She died hours later. She and her mother, Candace Fails are both devout anti-abortion Christians, but supported it in the event of life-threatening illness. “I know it sounds selfish, and God knows I would rather have both of them, but if I had to choose,” Fails said, “I would have chosen my daughter.”
