A little while back, science proved Ted Cruz has a face people want to punch. Then there was a theory circulating on Twitter that Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer, a person who, if you didn't know already, went on a murder rampage in the Bay Area in the '60s and '70s.

It's safe to say Cruz comes across as one creepy dude.

In a genius move, activist Tim Faust has put "Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer" on a t-shirt, the proceeds of which will fund abortions in Texas.

On his website, Faust writes,

Ted Cruz is a terrifying monster. You know who else was a monster? The Zodiac Killer, who claimed to have killed 37 people in the Bay Area. Ted Cruz has never denied being the Zodiac Killer. The conclusion is simple—and Ted Cruz has never publicly refuted it.

While he may be joking about the theory, the t-shirts are very real and support a worthy cause. As of now, Faust has raised $30,000 for West Fund, a non-profit organization that helps pregnant women access safe, affordable abortions in one of the poorest cities in America.

Faust put things into perspective in his interview with Broadly, saying,

Texas is an abortion wasteland — and not in the cool way, because absent context 'Abortion Wasteland' sounds pretty cool. The state's anti-abortion laws are barbaric and cruel. [Taking away access to abortion care] is a cudgel levied disproportionately upon those who can afford it least. At West Fund, the average monthly income of patients is $930. The average abortion procedure cost is $950.

Between the shirt's amazing cause and a "killer" design by Texas artist Rory Blank, how could you say no?
