Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz floated the possibility of working with Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to make birth control available over-the-counter Wednesday.
“Psst! Birth control should be over-the-counter, pass it on,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter June 7.
“I agree. Perhaps, in addition to the legislation we are already working on together to ban Members of Congress from becoming lobbyists, we can team up here as well. A simple, clean bill making birth control available over the counter. Interested?” Cruz responded Wednesday.
Cruz’s offer comes after the two made plans to work together to end the so-called “revolving door of K Street,” referring to federal lawmakers using their connections to become lobbyists once out of office.
Cruz and Ocasio-Cortez may not be perfectly aligned on the issue, however. Ocasio-Cortez is a proponent of Medicare for all, a single-payer health care system that Republicans have painted as a socialist nightmare.
