John, Ted Cruz has been on the record in support of extreme fetal personhood legislation for quite a long time.
But now that Roe v. Wade has been struck down and those fetal personhood arguments are also threatening the legality of in-vitro fertilization, Ted is scrambling to do damage control:
— The Hill
Ted likes to act like it’s absurd for anyone to believe that IVF is under threat. But it’s the logical result of his own beliefs about life beginning at conception.
Just as they did with abortion, anti-IVF advocates might not start with outright bans. They may simply advocate for banning specific methods of conducting the procedure until no medically acceptable methods are left and it’s effectively impossible to perform the procedure at all anymore.
Ted knows this, and his new legislation is just a smokescreen to save face with voters who are upset over this new consequence of the “pro-life” agenda.
The good news is Texans have the opportunity to Cut Cruz and elect Colin Allred in his place this November. Colin will fight to protect reproductive rights, not take them away — but it’s going to take a massive effort to defeat Ted on Election Day.
Thanks,
Cut Cruz HQ
