did Cruz Try To Ban Sex Toys?

[AliDiego]

I listened to somewhere that Ted Cruz tried to ban sex toys. Is this true?

[ShaneMalcolm]

Well, not exactly. When he was Solicitor General in Texas, he defended a ban on offering sex toys that was previously in place. But he himself did not initiate the ban.

[CrosbyJackson]

Yes, that's correct. It was an present law that he advocated for in court, that's why some say he tried to ban them. Though now he's stated that people have a right to do what they want in their bedrooms.
