The Cruz campaign has gone on record supporting women getting abortions. The campaign says there should be no punishment for those women if abortion is illegal. Deadline Hollywood reports:
Ted Cruz campaign chairman Chad Sweet...this afternoon told CNN’s Jake Tapper that Cruz believes in punishment for doctors who perform abortions, not the women who get them.
Pro-life supporters are scratching their heads. If they succeed in getting a pro-life amendment, Ted Cruz appears to be saying that the amendment should contain some kind of non-culpability clause, so that Congress can write any law resulting from a Life Amendment in a manner that allows women to have abortions in this country with no worries about the law.
In fact, since Cruz thinks only doctors should be punished, if a nurse or other type of provider performs the abortion, then the odd situation of a Life Amendment with abortions still being performed will be the result. The bottom line is that Ted Cruz has no problem with women having abortions.
One has to wonder sometimes about lawyers.
So Cruz is saying a woman can take the life of her unborn baby without any legal consequences even when the law says it is illegal to do so?
He surely is kind and forgiving to the woman but extremely cruel to the unborn baby! Who is he to determine the life of an unborn baby is worthless?
If abortion is illegal the providers AND the women should be prosecuted. They’re both breaking the law.
Otherwise we’ll have some Dr. Kevorkian types assisting women in getting abortions.
Cruz knows he is advocating abortion. Trump’s common sense led him at first to the right answer. Sadly, crowd pressure got the best of sound logic.
Cruz, on the other hand, is a lawyer. He knows full well that a a law that negates itself is the same as allowing the illegal act supposedly stopped.
“..Abortion is it’s own psychological and sometimes physical punishment as complications can make the women infertile and the psychological toll can bear deep scars. ..”
True.
There are many reason why we see women carrying “I regret my abortion” signs at the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C..
A mother who kills her 3 year old child should get the death penalty IMHO.
He surely is kind and forgiving to the woman but extremely cruel to the unborn baby! Who is he to determine the life of an unborn baby is worthless?
Cruz is trolling for mushy middle anti-Trump votes now. Social conservatives are dead to him.
What’s the connection?
Easy peasy...build a wall between sperm and egg. Whoops, there are some against that too. WTF to do?
There is a Dark Horse Coming...

So...Cruz doesn’t really believe abortion is murder?
Cruz’s position is exactly that of most pro life organizations. If you think Cruz is advocating abortion, then you’d have to say the same about most pro life groups.
And Trump has since reversed himself anyway, so if you think Cruz is advocating abortion (which is patently ridiculous), then you’d have to say the same about Trump.
Apparently you can push abortion and you can consent to abortion and you can pay for abortion and that’s all accidental.
If you are not in favor of punishing women who get abortions, then you are in favor of abortions.
This whole “women are victims” crap is just that. Crap.
NICE MOVE by Trump, getting to the right of Cruz on abortion.
Can’t say I’m surprised. After all, Cruz answers to those who fund him.
That’s the way I read this.
I already agreed with that. As I pointed out, Cruz is a lawyer. He knows what he is saying.
Cruz isn’t supporting women getting abortions.
.............
Oh? He doesn’t want to punish them. So by default, he is in favor of abortion.
So, this is a left-wing smear on Cruz?
Wow, in red and and larger font size.
Are you concerned that people will miss your remarks?
Isn’t that a strawman?
I wasn’t convinced until I saw giant red letters. That was persuasive.
