Ted Cruz attempted, once again, to deny Planned Parenthood its government funding rather than letting McConnell rubber stamp it. Planned Parenthood sells the organs of babies it aborts. This is an unconscionable evil and something every conservative should want to support ending such government funding regardless of who your favorite candidate is.
Yet, in this insane primary season, such social conservatism of Ted Cruz is painted as "bad" because it shows he "loses support of fellow Republicans"?! Shame.
My take is a bit different.
His desire is fine - protecting babies.
It is the simple fact that even after being "in the club" no one there seems to like him.
It is difficult to portray yourself as a leader when you have so little influence that no one follows "your leadership."
Well since the border is being over run by illegal aliens, our president is running around the world apologizing for being Americans, our economy is in the toilet, our debt is unstable. We decided to let the states do the abortion work and they are doing a splendid job. Abortions are down and clinics are closing all over the place. Planned parenthood is being defunded at the state level. That is why trump is the best. I know you hate states rights but that’s how things get done. Reagan didn’t even get rid of abortion. Not the president’s job.
