AUSTIN, Texas – Today the Texas Democratic Party’s Beat Cruz War Room launched “Terrible Ted Talks.”

This new video series will highlight in Cruz’s own words how he takes things too far and hurts Texans – including his pledges to “end the scourge of abortion,” eliminate Affordable Care Act health coverage for millions of Texans, target the “Ponzi scheme” of Social Security and more.

Watch the first Terrible Ted Talk here:

INTRO – Ted Cruz: “That was going too far… and my god, man, have you no shame?”

Cruz: “Roe vs. Wade, which was decided in 1973, was egregiously wrong the day it was decided.”

HEADLINE: “'He doesn't care,' women denied abortions in Texas say to report on Sen. Ted Cruz”

Cruz: “And in the state of Texas we have significant limits restricting abortion… I agree with that.”

HEADLINE: “ Texans who perform abortions now face up to life in prison, $100,000 fine”

HEADLINE: “Infant mortality spiked in Texas after abortion ban, study reveals”

HEADLINE: “More than 26K rape-related pregnancies estimated after Texas outlawed abortions, new study says”

OUTRO: Ted takes it too far.
