Jasmine Crockett Hits Ted Cruz With Brutal Reality Check On State's Abortion Bans
HuffPost
Crockett slammed the Texas Republican for his non-answer on the issue as he fights to keep his Senate seat.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) reminded Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) that he’s not a medical doctor on Friday as she went after GOP officials for their defense of the state’s strict abortion bans.
“I don’t want my governor, I don’t want [Texas Attorney General Ken] Paxton, I definitely don’t want Ted Cruz telling me what to do with my body if my doctor has a recommendation because the last time I checked, I don’t need any of them to be my doctor,” she said in an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes.
“I don’t want them to be my elected officials.”
Crockett appeared in a segment where Hayes highlighted the death of Nevaeh Crain, a Texas teenager and one of at least two pregnant women in the state who have died after doctors delayed treating miscarriages, ProPublica reported.
“When people talk about women’s lives being on the line in this election, it’s not a slogan, it’s not hyperbole,” said Hayes, who added that women are dying “preventable deaths right now” due to GOP-backed abortion bans in multiple states following the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
