“Mike Pence’s endorsement of Ted Cruz is no surprise for those of us familiar with Pence’s extreme record. They have a lot in common. Mike Pence signed the one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the nation; Ted Cruz has said rape victims should be forced to carry pregnancies to term. After Mike Pence signed the toxic and discriminatory RFRA [self explanatory term?] law that will cost our state upwards of $250 million, Ted Cruz supported the governor and advocated the federal government adopt a similar law. Ted Cruz has campaigned for president on an extremist, divisive ideology, and Mike Pence has put that same extreme ideology into practice, caused [causing?]
Indiana to fall behind the rest of the nation.” – Indiana chairman John Zody
