Planned Parenthood On Cruz/Fiorina Ticket: ‘The Most Loathsome Pair In America’
http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2016/04/27/3773194/ted-cruz-carly-fiorina-vice-president-report/Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is expected to announce former Hewlett Packard executive Carly Fiorina as his running mate on Wednesday, according to New Hampshire news station WMUR — and women’s health organization Planned Parenthood is not happy about it.
In a statement provided to ThinkProgress, Planned Parenthood Action Fund Executive Vice President Dawn Laguens warned that women’s access to birth control, cancer screenings, and abortion services would be diminished under a Cruz/Fiorina administration.
“A Ted Cruz and Carly Fiorina ticket give women in this country nightmares,” Laguens said. “Ted Cruz and Carly Fiorina both want to criminalize abortion and would rather shut down the government than allow low-income women to access birth control and cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood. This agenda is so unpopular that both Cruz and Fiorina resort to blatant, inflammatory lies to legitimize their extreme beliefs. These lies truly threaten women’s access to health care in this country.”
“Together, they form the most loathsome pair in America,” she added.
