LYNCHBURG, Va. – Potential GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz says “religious liberty has never been more under attack” than today. And he’s urging students at the nation’s largest Christian university to defend the rights of believers.
The Texas Republican senator on Wednesday told students at Virginia’s Liberty University that they have a responsibility and ability to push back against President Barack Obama and other Democrats who are implementing a national health care plan that includes mandatory coverage for birth control. Cruz says the law requires owners of businesses like Hobby Lobby to provide access to contraception regardless of their religious beliefs.
Cruz, a tea party favorite who is considering a presidential run in 2016, says students at the school the Rev. Jerry Falwell founded have the power to change the country if they stand united and live out their Christian faith
