Sen. Ted Cruz reacted to a question about abortion the same way he reacted to a Texas storm that left millions freezing in the dark and more than a hundred literally freezing to death: by running away.
Instead of jetting off to Cancun when he didn’t want to do his job, Cruz dodged questions from CNN’s Ed Lavendera with BS.
Asked why there was no mention of abortion in his speech, Cruz sneered, “I understand that’s what Democrats want to talk all day long about.”
Sadly, it’s no surprise Cruz doesn’t care about what concerns his Democratic constituents. But he went on to reveal he doesn’t really care about other Texans, either. “The Supreme Court made clear that’s an issue for voters, state by state,” he added.
Since his state has passed one of the most draconian abortion laws, that should make it an issue for him, too. Especially since we know that women have died as a result. ProPublica reported on two pregnant Texas women who died after “doctors delayed treating miscarriages, which fall into a gray area under the state’s strict abortion laws that prohibit doctors from ending the heartbeat of a fetus.”
