MADISON, WISCONSIN—Calling Donald Trump's recent oscillations on abortion "bizarre," Ted Cruz laid out his own view on abortion in a Fox News town hall the day before Wisconsin's primary.
Over the past week, Donald Trump has oscillated between advocating "punishments" for mothers seeking abortions, and saying abortion should be kept legal. Cruz knocked Trump's "bizarre" statements. "It showed that he has not considered seriously this issue."
A self-described pro-choice moderate voter asked Cruz if his presidency would lead to outlawing abortion. "We should protect all life," Cruz said, arguing for the issue to be settled through the democratic process, as opposed to the current situation where federal courts have taken abortion largely out of the hands of elected legislators.
Roe v. Wade is not settled law, Cruz told Fox News' Megyn Kelly, but is a "classic case of judicial activism." Undoing Roe would return abortion to elected legislators and the state. In that case, Cruz said Monday, pro-lifers would need to persuade the country to join them in passing laws to protect the unborn.
As President, Cruz said, he would reinstitute the Mexico City agreement, which curbs U.S. foreign aide to overseas groups aborting babies or counseling abortion.
Fox News host Megyn Kelly asked Cruz on abortion in the case of rape, where most Americans are at odds with the pro-life position. After touting his prosecution of rapists, Cruz said, "as horrible as that crime is, I don't believe it's the child's fault."
Of Trump's call for punishing mothers seeking abortions, Cruz said: "These comments are the comments of a liberal who is saying what he thinks conservatives want to hear."
But Trump is evolving like a good businessman does. . . . . Every hour or so.
Like the GoPe or Cruz are really ever going to risk their seats for the unborn. Get real.
His positions only matter if he is a man who can be trusted. TPP, Iran, and his marriage show he probably can’t be.
Cruz has been faithful to his wife, unlike Trump. Cruz would tear up the Iran agreement, unlike Trump, and Cruz Opposes TPP.

Cite your proof on his marriage please.
“These comments are the comments of a liberal who is saying what he thinks conservatives want to hear.”
The money quote.
Too bad immigration, ISIS and economy are top three voter worries. Oh darn.
If only.
There has been no evidence of Cruz cheating in his marriage. Those who know him and Heidi all say they are devoted to each other.
Without the latter, the former is reduced from a moral imperative to simply a personal preference equivalent to choosing the appropriate color of socks to wear.
It is all utter hogwash. Cruz isn’t anywhere stupid enough to run for office with anything like that in his background. It is the liberal (candidates who are liberal running as R’s) goto card (when race is ineffective).
He authored fast track authority for Obama to create the TPP. He wrote an oped in the wall street journal. Then when it Cabot be stopped, he came out for it. Same with Iran.
And poor Heidi, didn’t get a matching tattoo like Amanda his sweet tart.
Bizarre is claiming you’re eligible. Bizarre is expecting anyone to believe you didn’t know you were Canadian until you saw it in the paper. Bizarre is attempting to connect Trump with Beligian jihadies. Bizarre is refusing to say “I have never been unfaithful”. Judicial activism is judges who ignore law, ignore Supreme Court precedent, and instead provide excerpts of law review articles with no analysis. Bizarre is definitely applicable to Cruz.
Cruz does not allow deported illegals to reenter the country. Cruz has a clear plan to destroy ISIS and Cruz’s tax plan and planned cuts of government agencies and regulations are solid steps to rebuilding the economy.
