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.
He was trying to score political points, and in doing so he revealed what he really thinks.
Women, according to Cruz, should be home free when they pursue and obtain an abortion.
The person who paid for a murderer for hire is considered the one who set murder in motion.
...”Whole lot of craziness going on this forum”...
To be expected when who they are following is equally so. Never have seen such as is dumped into the threads....to even wade in you either have to agree or anticipate a doggy pile barking from their rear ends.
The very first sentence of the lead post, for starters.
Didn't ask you.
I guess when you don’t have anything to complain about you can always make something up. Trumpite jerks.
Trump is walking back his prior statement: http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-women-punishedabortions-2016-3
I am a Trump supporter but this entire election cycle is turning into a big trainwreck.
I'm in favor of aborting ISIS.
It's a gotcha question. As long as Roe v. Wade is the law of the land, the question is irrelevant.
Thanks. Your post was unclear.
Only the people performing or assisting the abortion should be legally charged. In practice that is what it was in Arizona before Roe.
/No one believes that women should be thrown in jail for abortions./
So you are saying certain classes get a pass for breaking the law?
No. At best you can argue that the abortionist is an accessory to murder, but it is the mother who, in most cases, commits premeditated murder to her own child.
And she pays for it to boot!
Maybe you don’t realize (or just don’t want to believe) what an atrocity it is to kill your own child in cold blood. And for all the most selfish of reasons.
Even the most savage of beasts don’t kill their own offspring, not the least is for the sake of convenience. This is truly an evil act.
...wonder what Mark is gonna say
you know mr cruz you dont always have to take the opposite position of trump
If a woman.was to self-administer a late-term abortion would it be murder or not verses of woman killing her child after it was born?
I mean the argument and I’m hearing now is a woman can have an abortion she just cannot have anybody help her have an abortion
It seems every hit thread on Cruz is dishonest.
“The Cruz campaign has gone on record supporting women getting abortions. “
No, he didn’t. He said women who get them shouldn’t be punished … doctors performing them should.
This whole thing started with Trump and his response to a question by the media. Candidates need to learn not to answer the media off-the -cuff. Do like Reagan did jiggle your ear and run away.

....”AT LEAST TRUMPsters are honest”.....
Well Trumpters do ‘believe’ they are honest for they take their cues from Trump alone.....and he believes he’s telling the Truth even when he’s shown he’s not...he doesn’t care if what he says is true or not and neither do they. It’s true to them because he says it is.
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter......Trumpsters can no longer discern the difference, unfortunately.
