Pro-Choice Groups Call for Cruz to Fire Troy Newman from Campaign

HeadlineApr 29, 2016

Meanwhile, pro-choice groups are calling on Ted Cruz to fire anti-choice activist Troy Newman from his campaign. Newman is the head of the militant anti-abortion group Operation Rescue, which is known for its targeted harassment of abortion clinic workers. Newman himself has implied that abortion providers should be executed, writing the U.S. is “blood-guilty” for its failure to kill “abortionists.” Newman currently serves as one of the co-chairs of Ted Cruz’s “Pro-Lifers for Cruz” coalition.
