Serious Question about Ted Cruz on Pro-Life/BControl Issue?

Posted: Mar 24, 2015

Edited for clarity at 10:52 a.m. Since I said yesterday I don't know much about him, I've been viewing various sites, but at the site I mentioned yesterday, I found the following information at: http://www.ontheissues.org/Ted_Cruz.htm It says: Click here for 4 full quotes on Abortion OR other candidates on Abortion OR background on Abortion. Companies can deny insuring birth control. (Apr 2012) Protect innocent human life with partial-birth ban. (Jul 2011) Opposes public abortion funding. (Oct 2012) Opposes churches providing birth control. (Oct 2012) So...he's against government funding for abortion, which I get. What I don't get is why he's against private funding of birth control or churches providing it, as well as how exactly does he plan on STOPPING private insurance companies and churches from providing birth control? Because doing so legislatively would be unconstitutional. And there's no mention of stronger penalty or task force for child support? Is this true or is that site erroneous? Because unless he's willing to personally write a check for the approximately $200,000 it takes to raise a child to each woman who finds themselves in this situation, not to mention college fund money later, what does he expect women to do - give them all up for adoption? And what if it's discovered the resultant child is "special needs"? I personally think gay marriage, abortion, birth control and gun control are civil liberties we shouldn't touch governmentally as religious issues (separation of church and state) - perhaps at most each region/state gets to decide, voted on by the people of that region. There are 2 exceptions I make regarding federal legislation of civil liberties and they are: 1. Equal pay/Discrimination Law - not promotion of civil liberties, mind you, but protection of them, as far as equal pay. You do the exact same job as a white male, you should get the same pay. 2. Gun control - I think we should continue to uphold the 2nd amendment, but there be an addendum regarding age restriction and stronger/longer training required to use guns that include classes on the social responsibility of carrying a gun - just like a driver's license.;
