Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz has announced<\/a> today that he will name former candidate and ex-Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina as his running mate if he wins the party nomination.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver and over again Carly has shattered glass ceilings. But in addition to being a woman of extraordinary intelligence, she\u2019s also a woman of deep principle,\u201d Cruz said. “This is a choice that you are telling the American people, this is an individual who I trust, and even more importantly, this is an individual you can trust to lead this county no matter what might happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a pro-life woman, Fiorina has forcefully pushed back<\/a> against the narrative that abortion is a necessary component of women’s health or her identity as a female, calling it instead the “butchery of babies.”<\/p>\n

\"levatino-ad-LAN\"<\/a><\/p>\n

During her time in the GOP primary field, Planned Parenthood frequently singled her out<\/a> for attacks due to her impassioned condemnation of the abortion giant’s ongoing baby-parts harvesting scandal.<\/p>\n

“I dare, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, to watch these tapes,” Fiorina declared<\/a> during one of the early debates. “Watch a fully formed fetus, on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking, while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.”<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood and abortion advocates claimed Fiorina was “lying” about the video, but as Live Action has covered<\/a>, the baby footage in that particular Center for Medical Progress video was for illustrative purposes and not the same baby StemExpress whistleblower Holly O\u2019Donnell witnessed, but was from an intact-delivery abortion and accurately depicted the alleged event, as did Fiorina\u2019s description.<\/p>\n

Fiorina endorsed<\/a> Cruz last month, for which abortion advocates dubbed the pair Planned Parenthood’s “biggest liar” and “worst enemy.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
