Ted Cruz, Colin Allred answer questions about abortion during debate

Published | Video Starts at 06:02

But in Congress, neither one of us has. I have not voted to strike down Texas's law. Congressman Allred has. Congressman Allred has voted to tell you, a mother at home, you have no right to know if your daughter's getting an abortion. That's an extreme position. And I can tell you the overwhelming majority of Texans do not agree with Congressman Allred's extreme position against parental rights, against the rights of a mom and dad to be with their daughter in a horrific and challenging time. (06:02–06:10)
