Jasmine Crockett challenges Ted Cruz on Texas abortion laws and women's health choices

Rep. Jasmine Crockett criticized Sen. Ted Cruz for his stance on Texas abortion laws, stating he is not a medical doctor and should not dictate women's health choices. She emphasized the need for medical professionals, not politicians, in such decisions. Crockett's comments followed a discussion about the death of a Texas teenager linked to delayed medical treatment due to abortion restrictions. She highlighted the real dangers women face under current GOP-backed laws, especially after the Supreme Court's 2022 ruling overturning Roe v. Wade. During a recent debate, Cruz avoided questions about supporting exceptions for rape and incest, raising concerns about his position on abortion. Crockett expressed confidence in his stance, stating that his inability to answer indicates a lack of trustworthiness on the issue.
