Cruz Says Access to Contraceptives Is a ‘Nonsense Issue’

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) told hundreds of Iowans that the idea of “condom police” in the United States is a “nonsense issue,” NBC News reports.

Said Cruz: “I have been a conservative my entire life. I have never met anybody, any conservative who wants to ban contraceptives.”

He added: “Last I checked, we don’t have a rubber shortage in America. Like look, when I was in college, we had a machine in the bathroom. You put 50 cents in — and voila!”
