In a move blanketed with irony, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) unleashed his beliefs about bodily autonomy on Twitter in response to a proposed Alabama law that would require men to get a vasectomy once they reach 50 or have three children. <\/p>\n
Vice reports the bill was proposed earlier this month by state Rep. Rolanda Hollis who, according to AL.com, said the bill is a response to last years abortion bill that passed the legislature and included anear-total ban on abortion. <\/p>\n
In October, a federal judge blocked the abortion bill from going into effect. <\/p>\n
The bills suggestion did not sit well with Cruz, prompting him to tweet A government big enough to give you everything is big enough to take everythingliterally!<\/p>\n
Cruz is stridently anti-abortion and does believe a small government should still have the ability to take that right away. <\/p>\n
Yikes. A government big enough to give you everything is big enough to take everything...literally! Alabama Democrat proposes bill mandating all men have vasectomy at age 50 or after third child. https:\/\/t.co\/PeaNUg1Joc<\/a><\/p>\n Last night, Cruz doubled down even further on his remarks defending his stance in a chopped up thread.<\/p>\n Its been a sight to behold the last 24 hours of Lefties triggering over this tweet, Cruz said, distancing himself from being labeled as pro-choice. <\/p>\n Its been a sight to behold the last 24 hours of Lefties triggering over this tweet. Ah ha! Youre pro choice, they exclaim. No, I believe in BOTH life and individual liberty. Four points: (1) Too many on the Left believe the Malthusian nonsense that more children are bad. 1\/x https:\/\/t.co\/Pcm6xqRQv4<\/a><\/p>\n 5\/x ...(4) yes, every adultman or womanhas a right to do whatever you want with your body...but that doesnt mean you have a right to do something harmful to ANOTHER persons body. Leftists refuse to admit that an unborn child is a separate human being whose life is precious.<\/p>\n Cruz concluded his thread by saying: Yes, every adultman or womanhas a right to do whatever you want with your bodybut that doesnt mean you have a right to do something harmful to ANOTHER persons body. Leftists refuse to admit that an unborn child is a separate human being whose life is precious.<\/p>\n His response to the proposed bill prompted users to call out Cruzs hypocrisy. <\/p>\n Further proof that if men carried the babies, abortions would be as easily accessible as Viagra, @TheTNHoller tweeted. <\/p>\n BUT TED CRUZ THINKS ITS PERFECTLY OKAY YO TELL A WOMAN SHE HAS TO HAVE CHILDREN ! <\/p>\n NO , RAFAEL , ITS NOT OKAY, AND YOU ARE , AS PER USUAL , WRONG<\/p>\n The Guardian: Ted Cruz criticizes vasectomy bill, exposing his hypocrisy on reproduction rights.https:\/\/t.co\/pWxkJoedOY<\/a><\/p>\n Hey Ted Cruz - So, you dont like the government telling you what you can & cant do with your sperm. Mandatory vasectomy? #Karma - what goes around comes around. Stay out of womens health decisions. We can make our own choices ~ just like men supposedly can. https:\/\/t.co\/yXBkcPBJA0<\/a><\/p>\n Ted Cruz is offended that a Democrat in Alabama proposed a bill mandating men have a vasectomy at age 50 or after their 3rd child! But he's okay with the government dictating a woman's decisions. pic.twitter.com\/F45R3Ks99n<\/p>\n Yes @tedcruz, it's almost like this Alabama Democrat is proposing an outlandish bill mandating all men have a vasectomy at 50, or after a third child, to prove a point about the outlandish bullshit that men propose controlling women's reproductive rights and choices. https:\/\/t.co\/bNsQTyr7g2<\/a><\/p>\n According to VICE, Hollis bill doesnt stand a chance of passing due to Alabamas majority Republican legislature. <\/p>\n Prior to Cruzs outburst, a Twitter user questioned Hollis on the reasoning behind the bill, in which she stated, The responsibility is not always on the women. It takes (two) to tangle. <\/p>\n READ MORE: <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Continued here: In a move blanketed with irony, Sen. Continue reading
