That is all it would take is for them to vote with their conscience instead of their husband's.

Some men have a view of women that dates back to the '50s. You know, the good ol' days. When blacks rode in the backs of buses, and women stayed in the kitchen until the husband took them out for an anniversary dinner, when the women could get dressed up and see other humans.

Sticks in my mind because gay rights was an unusual position for a Republican of his ilk to take, but she's his child. And one would think that Ted Cruz would likewise support his daughters - he used them enough for publicity purposes.
