Absolutely false!

All congress has to do is declare the obvious fact that humanity begins at conception. That will give the unborn all of the protections of the constitution.

Cruz’ coattails should be big enough to give him a large enough majority in congress to pass that.

Congress would have to override roe v wade in order to make any new legislation stick. They have no will to do it and Cruz is not well liked so he would have very little impact on this issue in the Congress.

The truth of the matter is that a majority of Americans don’t really want Roe v Wade overturned and the Supreme Court is very aware of it. They pretty much consider it settled law and are unlikely to take it up in our lifetime.

The only chance for any movement on abortion is in the Congress and the individual states who could assert their 10th amendment rights. Again unlikely in most states as Governors and state legislators are aware its not a big issue for most voters.

So attempting to assign powers to Trump and Cruz that they do not possess is just pointless.
