Texas's attorney general reportedly sent employees home to 'celebrate' the overturning of Roe v Wade

After the Supreme Court today overturned Roe v Wade on Friday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sent employees home from work and declared a yearly "sanctity of life" holiday, according to an email tweeted by ProPublica reporter J. David McSwane.




The email was listed as from Brent Webster, first assistant attorney general in Texas. The office has about 4,000 employees, per its government website. Paxton's office did not respond to requests for comment.

"Going forward, today will be an annual agency holiday to commemorate the sanctity of life," the email said.

The note added that people should not work after noon on Friday. People who are approved to work anyway are eligible for comp time, suggesting the day off is paid for everyone. The email added court appearances or hearings should be "covered."
