Ted Cruz enrages people after remarks he made rebuking the “war on women” this week.
Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz made some rather controversial remarks while giving a campaign speech in Iowa on Monday.
During the question and answer section, the Texas Senator was asked about his position regarding “making contraception available for women.”
Cruz responded by attacking what he called the “Democratic Party’s [concocted] war on women,” accusing Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton of falsely attacking Republicans as “the condom police.”
“Hillary Clinton embraces abortion on demand in all circumstances up until the moment of birth. Partial-birth abortion with taxpayer funding, with no notification for parents in any circumstances — 91% of Americans say that’s nuts,” he told the crowd, adding: “So what do they do, they try to shift it. The war on women wasn’t that, it was contraceptives. Now listen, I have been a conservative my entire life. I have never met anybody, any conservative who wants to ban contraceptives.”
Cruz went on to call the controversy surrounding Republicans and birth control “an utterly made-up nonsense issue.”
“As I noted, Heidi and I, we have two little girls. I’m very glad we don’t have 17,” he stated, adding: “And it’s a great example when the war on women came up, Republicans would curl up in a ball, they’d say, ‘Don’t hurt me.’ Jiminy Cricket!”
“Last I checked we don’t have a rubber shortage in America. When I was in college we had a machine in the bathroom, you put .50 cents in and voila!” Cruz continued. “So yes, anyone who wants contraceptives can access them, but it’s an utterly made-up nonsense issue.”
Cruz added that he fully expects Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton to run against “the condom police” in order to “try to scare a bunch of folks that are not paying a lot of attention into thinking someone’s going to steal their birth control.”
