Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has a reputation for zinging his political opponents on Twitter, but his contribution today to the ongoing fight over proposed abortion restrictions in Texas was reasonably subdued and consisted of a link to his sober written testimony. “I submit to you,” Cruz wrote, “that this legislation is a reasonable step to take after the disturbing revelations of Gosnell, and others.”
Proud to #Stand4Life & submit written testimony in support of #SB1 today: http://t.co/wWNLiRcDwK #txlege

Rep. Steve Stockman, however, pulled no punches in his tweets today, handily enraging abortion advocates with a series of posts in support of S.B. 1.
Conservatives see kids in poverty and want to find the family jobs. Liberals see kids in poverty and say they should have been aborted. #sb1

Liberals paying $2K a month for screaming mobs in Austin because they don't want anyone to stop them from literally shredding babies alive
