Tom AbrahamsTed Cruz and Colin Allred are seeking to win Texas' U.S. Senate seat and talked with ABC13 about the state of the campaign.Both men seeking to win Texas' U.S. Senate seat are in Houston on Wednesday, and both discussed the state of the campaign as Colin Allred tries to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz's bid for a third term.
ABC13: So, if abortion is a state's rights issue, which the Supreme Court has said it is, why would IVF then not be a state's rights issue? ABC13: So do you see reproductive rights, whether it's IVF or abortion, being an issue in your campaign this year? Colin Allred: "Number one to me is restoring freedom, uh, here in Texas and to Texans. And to me, that includes our freedom to make your own healthcare decisions, including access to an abortion. Our state's near-total ban on abortion has gone much, much too far. And it's placing us in a position where, uh, you know, more and more tragic stories are coming out every single day from women being turned away from hospitals because they're not sick enough yet, uh, to be treated.
