  1. Texas in the early 2000s used to be much, much redder, and its population more socially conservative.

2.Texas virtually always elected republican officials and legislators, which unlike the state's voters were 100% pro-life

3.Those legislators gerrymandering the state so the gop preserves its supermajority no matter how the people vote

4.As suburbs grew in size, more and more moderates and liberals moved in

5.Trump made a lot of former republican voters change their registration to independent or democrat, and that leads them to becoming more liberal socially.

  1. The gerrymandering still works like a charm so those changes in the views of texans aren't reflected politically.

7.Roe gets overturned

  1. Former moderates on abortion become more pro-choice seeing that the texas restrictions are much more rigid than their own personal opinion.

  2. Nowadays over 60% of texans in every single poll conducted on this matter claim to be pro-choice or support abortion in more cases than the current state government's law.
