Ilhan Omar Issues Warning to Women About Ted Cruz

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) warned women about Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), suggesting Republicans want him to regulate “your uterus.”

During a speech on the House floor Thursday, Omar questioned why lawmakers who advocate for small government would want to regulate abortion.

“But it’s shocking to me that all of this is being championed, and it’s coming from a party that believes in small government – party that talks about freedom, liberty,” Omar said.

She continued, “And this is the party now that wants to do everything that they can to tell women what decisions they can make about their reproductive rights.”

Omar argued, “They want somebody like Senator 👤Ted Cruz regulating your uterus. They want Senator Chuck Grassley having authority over your body. We have to say no.”

Additionally, Omar explained if “you care about women’s rights, you should be outraged by this decision. If you care about a woman’s right to choose, you should be outraged. If you care about women having access to healthcare, you should be outraged by this decision.”
