Ted Cruz Dodges Abortion Question In Senate Campaign Debate With Colin Allred
HuffPost
“Why do you keep asking me that?” a frustrated Cruz said at one point during the first and only debate between the Senate candidates in Texas.
DALLAS ― Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) repeatedly avoided giving a direct answer to questions about his position on abortion rights during a debate with Rep. Colin Allred, the Democrat hoping to spoil his bid for a third term.
Debate moderator Gromer Jeffers asked Cruz whether he would support exceptions to abortion bans for cases for rape and incest.
“Well, listen, abortion is an issue that many Texans, many Americans, care deeply about, and it’s an issue that people of good faith can disagree,” Cruz said, adding that it’s appropriate for states to set their own laws.
“You did not directly answer the question,” Jeffers, a Dallas Morning News political reporter, said before asking again, prompting another non-answer from Cruz.
“Why is this an issue you won’t address, about saying whether you support or oppose exceptions for rape and incest?” Jeffers asked.
