Cleo Kilpatrick, Sports Editor

Hi, my name is Cleo, I'm a sophomore and began writing for Spectrum as a freshman. I am the sports editor, I love the bubbly atmosphere of everyone I get to work with. Outside of school some of my favorite things are photography, running, and watching Grey's Anatomy.

In light of the abortion ban in Texas, many have been troubled with the lack of consistency from the Texas government. Activists have found it confusing that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced an executive order in Aug. 2021 banning government COVID-19 vaccination mandates in the state. However, after signing the new abortion law, Abbott tweeted that every “unborn child with a heartbeat will be saved from the ravages of abortion.”This political cartoon aims to call attention to the hypocrisy, and even irony, within Texas laws.
