Considering that her own father believes his own daughter doesn’t deserve and is not entitled to basic human rights, it’s extremely fortunate that her suicide attempt wasn’t successful. The stress of having a father who clearly despises her for what she is must be a nightmare that no fourteen year old girl should have to deal with. If she was despondent enough to stab herself repeatedly, she was probably despondent enough to hang herself in a closet where no one would find her until it was too late. It’s a wonder that didn’t happen.

Just to keep things real, do we have evidence that Ted Cruise has been anything other than supportive of his daughter? I have no information either way.
Ted may be a run-of-the-mill hypocrite. He may say all the right-wing-Christian stuff publicly, and not have any strong beliefs of his own on any topic.
I don't know if you have children (I don't), but we both have parents. How would you feel if your parent was a lawmaker who consistently voted against measures that would make your life better and introduced measures that would make your life worse? It doesn't matter whether he believes his own rhetoric or not. What matters is how that rhetoric affects his child.
Fuxxake - she's fourteen years old.
