Someone needs to publicly ask Ted Cruz what his position is about "legitimate" abortion.

2. I think we have an answer - he's with Akin

Texas Tribune 8/21/12
Unlike Romney, State Leaders Oppose Abortion After Rape

(snip)
Elected officials from Texas widely condemned Akin's comments: U.S. Sen. John Cornyn released a statement that seemed to suggest Akin should drop his Senate bid; Gov. Rick Perry's office called Akin's words “off-base, insensitive and a distraction from the important issue of protecting life.” Akin, for his part, quickly backtracked, saying he "misspoke" in his "off-the-cuff remarks," and adding that he understands "that rape can result in pregnancy."

Yet Akin's broader opposition to abortion in cases of rape is shared by many top Texas leaders. Perry, Attorney General Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and GOP Senate hopeful Ted Cruz only support abortion when the mother’s life is in jeopardy. The position isn't uncommon among Republicans; CNN reported on Monday night that a rape exemption is likely not part of the GOP abortion platform set to be adopted at next week's Republican Convention in Tampa.

In their fierce battle for the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate, Dewhurst and Cruz, the former state solicitor general, both promoted their anti-abortion credentials, saying only when a mother’s life was in jeopardy should a pregnancy be terminated.

And Unfortunately the Texas media will never get any traction on the issue. Most Texas women will never even know his position.
