The Planned Parenthood political persecution network
fears a Ted Cruz presidency. That works for me.

Planned Parenthood
Bashes Ted Cruz: “He is the Biggest Threat We Face”

The Planned Parenthood abortion business is emailing its
members warning that Ted Cruz is the biggest pro-life threat the abortion
business faces from the Republican presidential candidates.
In the email seeking funds for its political campaign
supporting Hillary Clinton, Dawn Laguens, Executive Vice President of
Planned Parenthood, says “every Republican candidate for president this year
would be a complete disaster” but explains “Cruz could very well be the biggest
threat we face.”
Laguesns says Cruz would be the biggest threat to the
abortion corporation because “unlike Trump and Kasich, who are more or less in
line with the Republican Party’s already terrible positions on reproductive
rights, Cruz takes things much, much further.”
“And he has the fan base to prove it. About 50% of Trump’s
and Kasich’s supporters think abortion should be illegal in all or most cases,
but a whopping 73% of Cruz’s supporters want to ban abortion in all or most
cases,” the Planned Parenthood VP complains.
Laguesns gripes that Cruz “consistently says he will open an
investigation into Planned Parenthood on his first day in office. But maybe
that’s less surprising when you see some of the people who have endorsed him —
people like Troy Newman, the notorious anti-abortion extremist.”
She says Cruz has “a real shot at the nomination and the
presidency” and then makes up a false attack saying, “We can’t let anyone near
the White House who would force a woman to carry a dangerous or unwanted
pregnancy.”
Ted Cruz continues to stake out a pro-life position on the
issue of abortion in cases of rape. In a new interview, the pro-life Texas
senator said he doesn’t think it’s fair to “blame the child” who is conceived
in rape.
During an interview with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly, the host
sought clarification from the Texas senator about this controversial aspect of
his platform. From the transcript via Lexis Nexis:
KELLY: [Y]ou don’t favor a rape or
an incest exception to abortion and for people like me, this may be a problem
in getting behind President Ted Cruz. They think you may be too far right on
social issues.
CRUZ: Well, listen, let’s talk –
you know, when it comes to rape, I’ve spent a lot of years in law enforcement.
I was the solicitor general in the state of Texas and I have handled cases with
horrific cases of rape, of people who committed child rape, people – I went
before the U.S. Supreme Court and argued in defense of state laws imposing
capital punishment for the very worst child rapists. And when it comes to rape,
rape is a horrific crime against the humanity of a person and needs to be
punished and punished severely but at the same time, as horrible as that crime
is, I don’t believe it’s the child’s fault. And we weep at the crime. We want
to do everything we can to prevent the crime on the front end and to punish the
criminal, but I don’t believe it makes sense to blame the child.
