Jasmine Crockett Hits Ted Cruz With Brutal Reality Check On Texas Abortion Bans

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) on Friday reminded Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) that he’s a politician and not her doctor 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 AG 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 told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, referring to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. “I don’t want them to be my elected officials,” she added.

Crockett appeared on MSNBC as Hayes highlighted the death of Nevaeh Crain, a Texas teenager and one of at least two pregnant women in the state who 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. He added that women are seeing “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, the 1973 ruling that had legalized abortion nationwide.

FFS! Paxton is trying to apply a modern version of the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act to women from Texas that have abortions in states where it is legal. 😡😡
