Senator Ted Cruz isn’t just out of touch with mainstream America. He’s also out of touch with facts, the truth, science, knowledge, things that are real, and for that matter the human race. Cruz is once again reminding us of this, in particularly idiotic and dangerous fashion.

As part of his ongoing far-right extremist argument that women shouldn’t have any control over their own bodies, Ted Cruz tweeted that “Pregnancy is not a life-threatening illness.” Numerous people on Twitter were quick to point that pregnancy is indeed often a dangerous, and sometimes a life-threatening, medical situation. So many people pushed back against Ted Cruz, his name ended up trending on Twitter.

What stands out here isn’t just merely Ted Cruz’s proud ignorance and willingness to lie, in the hope of getting his way on the issue. It’s that a guy has to be completely warped in the head to be this obsessed with controlling women’s bodies. People like Ted Cruz and Mike Pence aren’t Christians; they’re merely perverts – and they’re trying to use the government to carry out their perversions.
