Ted Cruz Tells Megyn Kelly He Would Force Rape Victims to Carry Rapist’s Baby

As it's been said many times, abortion law will never change so getting candidates to talk about it is a waste of time. All it does is emotionalize the voter base.

It's so sad that people are hung up over these hot button issues when there are so many other pressing problems facing this country.

Well...that is smoothing it over too much, imo.

I have known many women who had abortions and most felt both (relief and regret).


I am pro abortion (especially before fetal brain activity)...but I have more respect for women then to assume most of them have abortions with zero regret.

Lots of women feel a real bond to the fetus...even if they abort the pregnancy.

At least most/all of the one's I have known (though not all of them admitted it right after the abortion - sometimes weeks/months later).

It's not an assumption. And I don't know of any man who respects women more than I do.

She was merely pointing out the error in the previous poster's assumption that guilt would (or perhaps should) be felt by the woman who would choose to end her pregnancy.

Yes, I realize she is a crusader for the right to rip live human beings from the womb and kill them. How noble. :roll: And no, one study by an extremely liberal college does not make the other poster in error. ;)
 
I don't see why it matters what position Ted Cruz or any other presidential candidate may take on a matter of state law. Are there really that many women voters who are dumb enough to think a President Cruz could somehow prohibit a woman from aborting a fetus that was the result of a rape?

Facts About Abortion: U.S. Abortion Statistics

In 2012, unmarried women accounted for 85.3% of all abortions (CDC).
Click to expand...

On average, women give at least 3 reasons for choosing abortion: 3/4 say that having a baby would interfere with work, school or other responsibilities; about 3/4 say they cannot afford a child; and 1/2 say they do not want to be a single parent or are having problems with their husband or partner (AGI).

For 75% it's monetary


It is common sense....but you appear to have the wrong sense.

The pro-abortionist women were never going to vote for Cruz anyways.
 
Your support of killing an innocent human being for something his or her father did is contemptible, OP.

Ted Cruz's position is moral and correct.

It's beyond horrific, and yet so typically hypocritical, that MEN would sit there and suggest that a rape victim should have no choice but to carry a pregnancy that resulted from rape to term.

It's flat out disgusting, and unforgivable.

The only "disgusting" "horror" here is the utter **** you just typed and I pity you if you actually believe it.

Never surprising to see a pro-abort be misandrist, though. Never.

Just out of curiosity, in the case of rape, exactly what crime has the unborn committed that its life should be forfeit?

I was very ill during my first pregnancy and my life was at risk. My doctor had the delivery ready for a complete blood transfusion and put me under for the delivery. When they wheeled me in the delivery room, I did not know if I would live to my baby or ever know if I had a boy or girl.

My doctor cautioned us ( my dear hubby and I ) we needed to wait a couple of years before trying for another child.

Yes, our marriage was important to us and yes, we continued to have an active sexual relationship ( I did take my BC pills ) even though we knew if I became pregnant I would get an abortion afterwards.

You know, I appreciate you sharing your personal experience, but we're talking about the study you linked to claiming that 97% of women don't regret their abortions. Would you say your instance is common? Would you say the majority of abortions are women who simply didn't plan to have the child and don't want it?

They don't care about abortion victims.

They don't even consider them to be human.

Agreed. That is probably why they are unable to answer such very BASIC questions.

Do you believe women should be discriminated against for not having a penis? Men aren't morally or legally obligated to proliferate the species - do believe women should be?

Who's forcing women to have sex?

Btw, at what point do you have feelings for a human? Is it conception, or before that? If before, how long before?

Ted Cruz Tells Megyn Kelly He Would Force Rape Victims to Carry Rapist’s Baby



Women “think you may be too far right on social issues,” Kelly told Cruz while pointing out that the GOP presidential wannabe’s stance on abortion rights is repelling female voters away from a Republican Party that needs votes from women if it hopes to survive in November.

But Ted Cruz refused to budge from his extremist views and openly stated that he believes rape victims should be forced to carry pregnancies that result from rape to term.
“Rape is a horrific crime against the humanity of a person. But at the same time, as horrible as the crime is, I don’t believe it’s the child’s fault. We want to do everything we can do to prevent the crime on the front end and to punish the criminal. But I don’t believe it makes sense to blame the child.”

Kelly fired back by informing Cruz that women think he “would be forcing the mother to go through unspeakable trauma to carry her rapist’s baby for nine months.”

HERE WE GO AGAIN………. "legitimate rapes"……….“forcible rape”………. Forced transvaginal ultrasounds…….
OMG Will these guys ever learn……….

Maybe he needs to be forcibly castrated and his kids taken away because this man clearly is a religious extremist nutcase who's views are abhorrent and utterly immoral.

Because he wants to add insult to injury by forcing women to carry their rapists child. All women who report a rape and are investigated should be given medication to prevent a pregnancy but if that is not possible that woman should most certainly be allowed to abort that zygote and people who think otherwise IMHO hate women and women's rights.

Why are you blaming the child? And at what point is a persons father decent enough that they're worthy of life?
 
Bucky said:
I commend Ted Cruz. To truly be pro-life is supporting the life of the fetus. A fetus should not be blamed (or killed) because of the actions of a rapist. The only thing I would change is to empower the woman by giving her the ability to suspend parental or legal rights to the child with the exception of child support.

And I detest Ted for being a disgusting piece of anal waste product. To be that insanely pro-life means that he loves victimizing women not once but at least twice (if not many more times). A woman should not be forced to carry the zygote of a rapist because Ted and the brainless crowd that agrees with him on this issue have a fetish for robbing women of their dignity.

And the woman is already empowered, her power is to abort the zygote and give Ted and his idiot followers the middle finger and tell him to get the FU out of her uterus (rather than just getting the FU out of New York ;))
