Ted Cruz is starting a super wing-nutty anti-abortion group. Apparently he does not feel enough people hate him yet.

"Agh! I told you don't hold up a mirror to my face! It's terrifying!"
Courtesy of Mother Jones:

 During a campaign stop in Des Moines, Iowa, on Wednesday, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said he's created an anti-abortion group that will "champion every child, born and unborn." The Pro-Lifers for Cruz coalition already has more than 17,000 members, according to a press release, and will be chaired by Tony Perkins, the anti-LGBT president of the Family Research Council who recently said same-sex marriage is responsible for "havoc in our homes and blood in our streets." Florida Sen. Marco Rubio has also created a committee, but Cruz has cornered some of the more extreme members of the anti-abortion movement. Also heading up the coalition are 11 anti-abortion co-chairs "representing virtually every perspective on the pro-life spectrum." 

One of those perspectives is that of Troy Newman, the president of Operation Rescue and a board member of the Center for Medical Progress, the group behind the debunked Planned Parenthood videos, whose founder David Daleiden was recently indicted for alleged crimes in connection to the videos. In his announcement on Wednesday, Cruz called Newman's group "one of the leading pro-life Christian activist organizations in the nation."

This Troy Newman guy is so divorced from reality that he once said this about women's health clinics in California:

"Is it no wonder that California is experiencing the worst drought in history when it is the largest child-killer in all of the United States?"

Yes because a lack of precipitation and women controlling their own reproductive organs are so clearly intertwined.

Let's just add this to the growing list of reasons that Ted Cruz must NEVER be allowed to gain any real political power.

    Cruz is lying when he says the group will "champion every child, born and unborn." The anti-abortion crowd have shown that they couldn't care less for a child's welfare once it's born.

      +1000...right on the nose.

      His crowd and a 100% track record of NOT supporting children once they are out of the womb.

      They're like comic book collectors. The product only has value as long as it's in the original packaging

      Didn't Perkins hire child molester Josh Duggar as an example of traditional conservatives values?

      Did he say "champion" or "chomp on"? And what, how exactly, will he force women to bear children, then what? Orphanages? Adoption isn't always rainbows and skittles, but the best outcome would be to adopt them out to same sex couples who want families. I guarantee those babies are wanted and will be cared for very well.

    Cruz is awful!!! And those people who support him are only trying to dupe evangelicals for their $$ with their "anti-choice" wedge issue. They really think evangelicals are DUMB. Anyone who does not blame the man for his 50% part in a pregnancy in supplying "the seed" is a hypocrite. I know Hillary will stand up against Ted Cruz for our reproductive rights.

    Sarah showed up on Today show wearing a Mexican serape outfit. She looked like a 60 year old illegal wetback.

    Her interview promptly went down in flames quicker than McCain flying a fighter jet when Ms Guthrie asked about her tying Track's PTSD to Obama.

    Enjoy or should we say Ensure

      Please don't use the word "wetback," even when describing someone as hideous as Sarah Palin.

      That's just rhetoric to get the under-educated pitchfork crowd all riled up.

      Be very worried if they start playing Peace Frog at the Cruz rallies.

      Actually I'm already very worried.

    I'm a lifelong Texan who has always loathed Rick Perry, Greg Abbott, Dan Patrick, Bill Clements, all Bushes, et al. But my disdain for them pales in comparison to Cruz. If I weren't agnostic, I would believe his is the Devil Incarnate.

      Let me say this about your comments: you must be a really good person to feel that way about that particular group of people. I'm in your corner too.

    Ted, just how will you "champion" every child, unborn and born? Will you provide proper healthcare to the mother during pregnancy? Will you provide healthcare, education, housing assistance, etc. to the kids who's parents are not in the top 1%? PRECISELY, how will you "champion" them, Ted?

    Ted is worried because so many evangelicals have sided with Trump.
