Just one reason any Democrat is better than Huckabee

Something tells me he doesn't want a federal decision to legalize it.

Some many of these other "pro-life" conservatives innocently claim that they just want abortion to be a state issue, where those supposedly democratic state legislatures can decide what to do about abortion, in accordance with the wishes and the values of the people who live in those states.

Well, guess what? State legislatures in New England, New York, the West Coast, Illinois and perhaps some of the libertarian Mountain West states, would decide to keep abortion legal, in accordance with the wishes and values of the people who live in those states. Would that be acceptable to the so-called "pro-life" activists? They may say that it would be, but that is a lie. At least Huckabee tells the truth about the true motives of the "pro-life" crowd.

The states' rights issue here is a way for politicians to dodge this issue. Either abortion is okay, in which case it should be up to the states to protect and regulate it, or its murder, and it should be banned nationwide.

We don't want abortion to be legal in PA but 1st degree murder in AL and MS.

Huckabee is talking about a federal ban on abortions. That's where this would end up.

I don't agree with him on a federal ban, obviously. But he's right about the political/legal issue.

That's really what would be required. If they decide it is, then as Huckabee wants, the result would be a federal ban.

For any women anywhere to be able to choose for themselves, the federal government would have to decide that it is not murder.

The latter is not about to happen. That's why they want to make this a binary issue.

Crazy Hucky to the rescue! :crazy:

children IS a form of slavery. Oh, the irony.

we will find that while all those running under GOP banner are bad, some of those running under the Democratic banner support a candy coated version of the same undemocratic and imperialists policies that Bush is pursuing.

Human rights are only trumped by state security in dictatorships!

Certainly more productive than all the horserace hysteria.

In any case, I picked just one issue each for just three GOP candidates - and to me, any of them are sufficient reason to vote for any Democrat over them.

I especially love his "Wedding Registry" he and his wife had going when he left the gov's mansion. They had been married 30 yrs. by then. He says his friends just wanted to bestow gifts on them for their new abode.

The two killers at Jonesboro in 1997.

And then looked like a greedy exploiter by not sharing the proceeds with the victims' families or donating them to charity? Seem to remember reading about that somewheres.

I like Huckabee alot, but I just can't go for any more religious insanity or anyone advocating the un-Fair Tax.
