Cruz: “Without Life, There is no Liberty”
Town Hall ^ | July 9, 2013 | Daniel Doherty

Posted on 07/09/2013 7:46:05 AM PDT by EXCH54FE

On Monday evening, Texas Senator Ted Cruz blasted out a press release informing the public that he had proudly and officially come out in favor of Texas Senate Bill 1, the “controversial” statute that would ban abortions after 20 weeks gestation.

Here’s a short excerpt:

AUSTIN, TX – U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) today submitted testimony for the record in support of Texas Senate Bill 1, which will ban abortions after 20 weeks and raise standards of care at abortion clinics by requiring them to meet the same standards as ambulatory surgical centers. Part of Sen. Cruz’s testimony will be read at the Stand for Life Rally on Monday evening at the Texas State Capitol.

“I want to thank the thousands of Texans who are engaging in the legislative process to speak up for the unborn,” Sen. Cruz said. “The horrors exposed during the recent murder trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell compel us, in Texas and nationally, to take action. Our opponents seem to advocate little to no restrictions on abortion. In the past, such advocates claimed abortion should be ‘safe, legal, and rare.’ Today, their position can fairly be interpreted as ‘anytime, on-demand, and everywhere.’ This extreme embrace of unlimited late-term abortion is indefensible.

“Our nation was founded on the principle that we are all created equal and endowed by our Creator with ‘certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’ America’s founders knew that life comes first. Without life, there is no liberty; without life, there is no pursuit of happiness.”

Cruz is right: liberty and late-term abortion cannot co-exist. And while most Americans seem to understand this, far too many do not.

No life, no liberty, no pursuit of happiness.

As if those who practice this dogma of “abortion on demand” could ever hope to attain happiness, regardless of how long they may pursue same.

And for the one who has suffered certain death, none of the above applies.

Frankly, I don't care. He's as American, conservative, and principled as you and I and your definition and legal basis for your position is as murky as pond water.

That's just your opinion. The voters and their electors decide qualification issues.

America’s founders knew that life comes first. Without life, there is no liberty; without life, there is no pursuit of happiness.”

The right to life means the right to sustain and protect one's life.To sustain his life, one needs a method of survival.The right to liberty is the right to this method of sustaining one's life.The right to the pursuit of happiness means the right to have a motive to sustain one's life.

I like them both, but you insist on playing a juvenile game of "my dad can beat your dad."

How old are you? Three?
