Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) reminded Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) that he’s not a medical doctor on Friday as she went after GOP officials for their defense of the state’s strict abortion bans.

“I don’t want my governor, I don’t want [Texas Attorney General Ken] Paxton, I definitely don’t want Ted Cruz telling me what to do with my body if my doctor has a recommendation because the last time I checked, I don’t need any of them to be my doctor,” she said in an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes.

“I don’t want them to be my elected officials.”

Crockett appeared in a segment where Hayes highlighted the death of Nevaeh Crain, a Texas teenager and one of at least two pregnant women in the state who have died after doctors delayed treating miscarriages, ProPublica reported.

“When people talk about women’s lives being on the line in this election, it’s not a slogan, it’s not hyperbole,” said Hayes, who added that women are dying “preventable deaths right now” due to GOP-backed abortion bans in multiple states following the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Hayes later turned to Republicans getting “slippery” on the abortion issue including Cruz, who he noted has been “anti-abortion his entire career” and is currently in a tight race to defend his Senate seat in Texas.

The MSNBC host played a clip of Cruz dodging an answer on abortion during his debate with Democratic opponent Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas) last month.

“Why is this an issue you won’t address, about saying whether you support or oppose exceptions for rape and incest?” asked moderator Jason Whitely after Cruz repeatedly dodged his question.

“Jason, I’m curious, why do you keep asking me that?” said Cruz before pivoting to talk of Allred’s opposition to a state law requiring parental notification for minors wanting abortions.

Hayes asked Crockett if she has “any doubt in her mind” over where Cruz is on abortion.

“I have zero doubts,” Crockett said.

She later continued, “When you can’t answer a question, that is the answer, right? And the idea that we should just trust you, we shouldn’t trust you. Not when people are dying. You guys are not going to save us you are going to, again, inflict more pain.”
