Cruz “dodged questions,” but previously “championed” Texas’ ban
After the Texas Supreme Court prohibited a life-saving abortion for a pregnant woman whose fetus was diagnosed with a fatal condition, new reports detail that Ted Cruz has “dodged questions” on the case and “refused to comment” on his support for the state’s ban — which he previously called “a massive victory.”
From DSCC spokesperson Amanda Sherman Baity: “Cruz has spent his career trying to take away women’s right to make our own health care decisions, and he doesn’t even have the guts to defend his record. In 2024 he won’t be able to run from the Texas voters who are going to hold him accountable for his anti-choice record in the Senate.”
