Ted Cruz: There's No War on Birth Control Because You Can Always Buy a 'Rubber' From a Vending Machine
Politics
Senator and man who would be President Ted Cruz spent Monday night at a town hall in Iowa. While there, he generously shared his thoughts on birth control access, namely how easy it is to get some: “Last I checked, we don’t have a rubber shortage in America.” Oh Ted, you really shouldn’t have.
An attendee at the Bettendorf, Iowa town hall asked Cruz how he felt about “making contraception available to women who want to control their own bodies.”
Cruz came alive: “Hillary Clinton embraces abortion on demand in all circumstances up until the moment of birth,” he told the audience in response. “Partial-birth abortion with taxpayer funding, with no notification for parents in any circumstances — 91% of Americans say that’s nuts,” he said. (Clinton has consistently said she favors leaving abortion decisions up to women and their doctors.)
