• Mike Huckabee's response to Rape, Incest and 10 year old victim being denied an abortion?: Good

[quote]GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee supports Paraguay's decision to deny an abortion to a 10-year-old rape victim, he revealed in an interview Sunday. In an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union," the former Arkansas governor argued that the Paraguayan government's refusal to allow an abortion for the now-11-year-old, who gave birth last week after being raped by her stepfather, prevented a second tragedy. •"Let nobody be misled, a 10-year-old girl being raped is horrible, but does it solve a problem by taking the life of an innocent child?" he asked. He added later, "When I think about one horror, I also think about the possibilities that exist and I just don't want to think that somehow we discounted a human life ... Let's not compound the tragedy by taking yet another life." Paraguay law allows abortion only “in very rare cases when it’s deemed necessary to save a woman’s life,” ThinkProgress noted. Huckabee has taken a firm stance against abortion and suggested last month that he wouldn't rule out using federal troops to stop women from accessing the procedure. He also identifies with a small group of conservative legal scholars who believe the Constitution gives the president the power to outlaw abortion, despite the Supreme Court's many rulings on the matter.[/Quote] [url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/huckabee-abortion-10-year-old-rape-incest-victim_55d0a275e4b07addcb433a4a?cps=gravity_5053_-3061893473093570013&kvcommref=mostpopular]Source[/url]
Huckabee is a piece of shit but he only agrees with the decision to forbid the abortion. Let's not overreact here.

It's like all the GOP candidates are in a race to see who can be the most inhuman monster right now. Put aside your ass-backwards beliefs for like, five seconds, and have some damn empathy. My God, how far has this guy got his head up his ass? This is a ten year old girl. Ten year old girls are not built to be pregnant and carry to term. I'm not a fan of abortions by any means, but even I can see that this is one case where it would definitely have been warranted.
aren't very young girls IE 10 year olds at higher risk of having fatal complications during pregnancy?

One of the strange things to me about his reasoning is it's "Let's not make the situation worse". To him once you are pregnant for any reason, 'the situation' is you ARE having that baby. In his mind if you're a victim of rape and/or incest and get pregnant, rejoice! God has blessed you with a child. Aren't you the lucky one. Who are we to mess that up for you by allowing choice?

A pregnancy at that age is highly risky to the mother as well, her body's not yet set up to support that kind of stress and it's still so small that things may jam on the way out and kill 'er.

I thought conservatives were willing to concede their hard on for fetal tissue when the mother is at risk. This is fucked up.
I never understood putting a life that hasn't even started in a higher priority than a life in progress

Still doesn't make it any less creepy.
[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;48474866]huckabee seems to be continuing the GOP tradition of loving fetuses more than real people[/QUOTE] Something tells me that his kinda people don't actually know much anything about pregnancy or child birth and will gladly stay ignorant.
My favorite was when he said he'd have pretended to be transgender if it would have let him creep on naked young girls once
He's only against it because the majority are religious and are also against it I think an abortion before 23 weeks is perfectly reasonable. After that neurons start firing and I think that's as good as place as any to draw the line on when life begins
Huckabee makes me embarassed to be an Arkansan.
[QUOTE=FalconKrunch;48474596]Yeah it is, but saying he thinks rape and incest is good is just false.[/QUOTE] He hangs out with people like Duggar, let's not pull our punches here. This son of a bitch supports child molestation, full stop.

Ah, pro-life, where the thoughts and feelings of an entity which essentially does not think and feel is more important than that of someone who definitely can and does.

No line drawing needed. Politicians shouldn't have the right to decide the cut-off, and neither do any of us.
[QUOTE=Jamsponge;48476459]Ah, pro-life, where the thoughts and feelings of an entity which essentially does not think and feel is more important than that of someone who definitely can and does.[/QUOTE] Its not like these people care about them once they're alive either. The far right usually oppose giving lunches to poor children, etc.
He's really optimistic isn't he, that a 10 year old will survive labor with the child and be ready to raise the child into an upstanding member of society with no income and a constant reminder of her rape and rapist shuffling around.
Huckabee needs to shut the Fuckabee up.
I feel bad for the Victim and the baby. The girl and baby will have an interesting life at the very least. I hope it all works out for the best, even though this is the worst of situations.
I'm reminded of a political cartoon I recently saw: [img]https://c.o0bg.com/rf/image_960w/Boston/2011-2020/2015/08/10/BostonGlobe.com/EditorialOpinion/Images/0811wassermancolor.jpg[/img]
On one hand, I hope for the very best for the mother and the baby, but on the other hand I really hope anything bad that happens gets publicised heavily with the result of discrediting the supporters of such a heinous act as denying this girl the right to abort a child she doesn't want and can't adequately provide for. What do these religious nutjobs use to excuse such a stupid decision? A loving God created this baby and therefore it should be born into whatever ill circumstances await it? This would of course mean that such a god not only allows rape, but actively promotes it in order to further an agenda. Don't know about you, but that sure does sound like a really shitty god to me.
If somebody ever deserves assassination, it's definitely this fucking retard.
