WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today released the following statement after Senate Democrats blocked the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act:
“Today, Senate Democrats voted against protecting children, capable of feeling pain, by blocking legislation that would stop abortions from being performed on babies older than five months. Despite the Senate’s refusal to take up this legislation, I am confident that one day America will end the horrific practice of late-term abortion. Until that day comes, I will stand resolutely with those fighting to protect the most precious gift of all: life itself. Each life is a gift from God. Without life, there is no liberty.”
###
And without Liberty, Life is forfeit.
Give me Liberty or give me Death.
Go, Cruz, GO!!
Absolute Truth! Ted Cruz!
And Yet there still is no Definite “We Will Not Fund Planned Parent hood MURDERERS” from the GOP. This is the Most Basic Message and the Easiest to give, yet they CANNOT do it!!!
EVIL! Murder of the Innocent!
Life Begins at Conception, for without that single moment in time, when Man, Women, and God Intertwine, No other Moment is possible for that Individual!
More Evidence of the Evil Planned Parenthood and a story that has repetition to it. How can anyone protect such EVIL???
PLANNED PARENTHOOD is EVIL, It was Started with EVIL Intent and it is living up to its INTENT!
ALL LIVES MATTER!!!
Read the Words and Open you Minds and Hearts the TRUTH is EASY to Understand!
“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.”
From the The Declaration of Independence.
The Enemy is within and until we deal with that Enemy we will Never be able to Deal with the Enemy’s outside the Nation!
God Bless
Without liberty there is no life
Ted is asking the hard questions that concern US ALL
The sole reason these rights were deemed unalienable is that both are derived from the Creator--not from the mother or father, and not from government or judicial decision. What is "granted" by human decision also can, by implication, be withheld.
"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them (life and liberty)," said Thomas Jefferson.
"The world is different now. . . and yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forefathers fought are still at issue around the globe--the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God." - John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address
That understanding underlies every other consideration embodied in our Declaration of Independence and every protection of our Constitution. It is the very basis of our rights to life and liberty, of laws to protect them, and it distinguishes ours from other forms of government.
When we fail to acknowledge that foundation of our liberty, then we risk liberty itself for future generations, for where does the right to choose who lives and who does not really end?
That is why the question is of vital importance in each election. Already, we have deprived millions of their Creator-endowed rights to life and liberty, and our nation must be weaker for their loss. We need leaders who understand the implications and potential consequences of departing from our founding principles.
In recent decades, technological advances have enabled us to observe the characteristics and actions of God's tiniest creations in the womb. Unlike previous generations who could not see, we have no excuse for imagining that these are mere blobs of tissue labeled "fetuses." In their early weeks, we now can see that they are living babies who will continue on to possess life and liberty if we do not "destroy" both. Indeed, they are simply smaller versions of ourselves.
At the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington DC on February 3, 1994, Mother Teresa stated: "And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?"
Questions on the economy, taxes, threats from terrorists, health care--all are considerations at this election time. One, however, is basic to all others for me. Who will best protect the underlying premise of our Constitution--and the lives and liberties of millions yet unborn?
Promises are illusive and cheap. This voter will examine each candidate's previous voting record carefully on all issues, because past actions are the best predictors of future decisions.
Yes, Sen Cruz is absolutely asking the right, hard questions.
I would still like to see him as president or vice president.
Without Cruz, there is no mention of liberty in this campaign.
President by all means
He is doing fine at digging deep as to what motivates us all.
Let the field of carnival barkers thin.
Teds only problem is he thinks he is in a courtroom with a captive audience that has all the facts.
A lot of our election cycles is about hitting hard and fast.
Cruz is great in closing arguments in a court, but you need to grab people in 30 seconds in a general election, and then you need to hold them.
I think he has it, he is just letting the others punch themselves out.
Yeah! I’d vote for that!
nor scarce little of LIFE!
Immoral, unconstitutional, lawless legislation.
I have had reservations from day one.
At a guttural level, I just think the Don wants the keys to the candy shop.
True. He stays on message and he is consistent. Constitutional conservative.
Well as he says he is the richest...best looking....richest....candidate out there
Cruz beats the 10th amendment drum, Cruz takes on the SCOTUS in black robes.
Cruz tells the UN world to go to hell.
Cruz defends millenia of common human doctrine.
He could give a fig what the outliers think, and he does it in a low steady drumbeat
