Ahead of Tuesday’s primary election contest in Wisconsin, the state pro-life group Wisconsin Right to Life issued an endorsement for pro-life Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz over GOP rival Donald Trump.
In a statement to LifeNews.com the organization said Cruz is the only candidate int he race who has always been pro-life and has the ability to defeat pro-abortion Hillary Clinton in November.
“Wisconsin Right to Life’s Political Action Committee supports Ted Cruz as the only presidential candidate with a proven record on life who can win,” the group said.
“There has never been an election more important than this election, and the stakes have never been higher when it comes to protecting the unborn,” stated Chelsea Shields, PAC Director of Wisconsin Right to Life. “There is only one candidate for president who has always been pro-life, who has a 100% pro-life voting record with National Right to Life and Wisconsin Right to Life, and who can win the Republican nomination and defeat pro-abortion Hillary Clinton in November. And that candidate is Ted Cruz.”
The pro-life organziation said that, as president, Ted Cruz would work to restore legal protections to unborn babies and their mothers, protect unborn babies from abortion, including painful and barbaric dismemberment abortions, appoint judges who protect life, and keep your tax dollars from paying for abortion.
“For these reasons, Wisconsin Right to Life’s Political Action Committee is urging every pro-life voter in Wisconsin to vote for Ted Cruz in the Presidential Preference Primary on April 5th,” the group concluded.
SIGN THE PLEDGE: I Pledge to Vote for a Pro-Life Candidate for President
Cruz has a 100% pro-life voting record as a member of the Senate . On 10 total votes on pro-life issues taken while has has served in the Senate, Cruz voted pro-life every single time.
The votes tallied by the national Right to Life Committee include multiple votes supporting a bill to de-fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business over the years, votes to repeal or de-fund Obamacare, which uses taxpayer funds to pay for abortions as well as votes to protect the conscience rights of pro-life Americans.
In a recent interview, Cruz expound on his pro-life views and said that pro-abortion Democrats use the issue of contraception to try to attack pro-life Republicans and make them look like extremists.
Cruz gave an interview last week to the Catholic news network EWTN and he asked Cruz about some comments he made supporting contraception. The Texas senator said he was pushing back against a Democratic “political attack that was deliberately deceptive.”
“I am unequivocally pro-life, I believe that every life is a precious gift from God that needs to be protected from the moment of conception until the moment of natural death,” he said.
The U.S. Constitution does not mention the unborn at all.
No, but God’s Word does. As King David pointed out in just one scripture, God knows us even as we are being formed in the womb. Your argument is with God, not with me.
At this moment in time we can stop most abortions. Why are you insisting that we must stop ALL when you do not have the means to do so?
I’m not stupid enough to argue with God.
Who taught you this idiotic nonsense?
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
ALL men and citizens are two very different things. Our natural rights come from God, NOT citizenship.
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.You see here that "privileges and immunities" come with citizenship, but the right to life, liberty and property derives from personhood.
And abortion is a medical procedure and can be regulated by the several States.
It's a FORM OF MURDER, not a medical procedure.
Read above from the Fourteenth Amendment, the power of the states to decide who is and isn't a person was stripped away for very good reason.
It should only be performed in a hospital to save a woman’s life.
Oh yes, the NON-EXISTENT reason that has been offered to justify the American Holocaust.
If you want to see how dangerous pregnancy can be, go to an 18th and 19th century cemetery. One of my grandfathers had five wives; the first four all died in childbirth or shortly after due to complications stemming from it. Nowadays, not so much, but it does still occasionally happen.
This is a myth promulgated by the abortion industry.
Life of the Mother "Exception"
Everyone has the right to kill in self defense.
Can you actually cite an instance where an unborn baby was threatening to kill someone?
Does the baby not ALSO have the right to be defended?
Protest at Seton Hall University School of Law, Newark, NJ, Pro-aborts (trump's sister) are Honored with Award!! (April 16, 2004)
The only instance I can think of when a pregnancy can kill a mother is ectopic. And the unborn baby also dies.
The baby is not a “citizen” is not something I heard before. Makes no sense. Already people killing a pregnant woman have been charged with murdering the unborn baby. Killing an unborn baby has historically been considered murder.
Do not advocate for abortion on FR. Period.
“Cruz is also pro- mistress too.”
As is Trump.
“The Right to Life does not extend to the unborn. It only applies to citizens.”
So I can kill all the other 6.5 billion people on the planet because they are not US citizens?
What an idiot.
Ah, but don’t you know that none of Trump’s former positions matter? After all, he “wasn’t running for President then”, so we can’t hold them against ol’ Donald.
Too many on our side are willing to sell out their principles so long as an admitted liar tells them what they want to hear now. I just don’t understand it.
The difference is Trump does not raise the bible before
he turns down the sheets.
We are all hypocrites so it is irrelevant. If both of them are guilty of adultery, one is not more adulterous than the other.
One does not hide behind the bible.
And it is revelant.
I don’t recall Cruz saying adultery is acceptable in the Bible.
If you are looking for the sinless candidate, there isn’t one.
bump!
What an adorable baby!
I’m sure you know, but just want to remind others, that Trump’s sister, as judge in NJ, overturned ban on partial-birth-infanticide, and Trump says she would make a good SCOTUS judge.
Compare Donald Trump with TED CRUZ, who is supported by pro-life groups, including PRIESTS FOR LIFE, who tweeted this recently (which I posted), which shows CRUZ’s passion for LIFE!
“Senator Ted Cruz of Texas stands with Priests for Life in our lawsuit against the HHS Mandate of the President Obama administration. On May 8, 2014, while oral arguments were heard in the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, the second most influential Court in the United States, there was a Rally for Religious Freedom on its steps in support of religious non-profits. ....”

When I went to the Priests for Life website, TED CRUZ was the ONLY PRESIDENTIAL candidate that I saw on their political leaders list. I did not even see Marco Rubio there.
