Huckabee Backs Denying Abortion To 10-Year-Old Raped By Stepfather

[koshergrl]

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 Backs Denying Abortion To 10-Year-Old Raped By Stepfather

Wow, a 10-year-old raped by her stepfather doesn't even qualify for an abortion in Huckabee's mind. That is barbaric! I can't imagine someone like him as president.

The only way that she could have given birth and not either died or her reproductive system be torn apart is by C section. Which is why it was performed. Which is a huge red flag that she never should have been forced to carry that pregnancy to term.

So she's forced to carry a pregnancy from rape she doesn't want to carry. Then she's forced to have surgery she probably didn't want to have but had to have it to save her own life.

That is sick.

No 11 year old child is capable of raising a child. She can't provide for the child. She's a child herself.

No child that young should ever be forced to endure a second rape by the government to be forced to give birth to a child that is the result of the rape.

There is no justification for such cruelty.

I'm sure Huckabee will support her and her child. No?

Why would Huckabee support a Paraguay national. The law under which this girl was obligated to give birth is a Paraguay law. Shouldn't Paraguay support her?

I totally agree. Here we have a Presidential nominee that appears to want to represent Paraguay. I would suggest his supporters pull him of the campaign stage here, and set one up in Paraguay. Since he seems intent on representing laws in Paraguay he can run for elected office over there too.

Mike Huckabee was responsible for the Republican loss in 2012 by inviting Senator Akins on his program to declare--that "he heard" that women can shut their bodies off when getting raped. Women ran to the other side of the isle and we got Barack Obama for a second term.

Now that Huckabee has started a war on little girls, it's safe to say, that unless we nominate Carly Fiorina to be our Presidential nominee--(to prove that Republicans don't have a war on women & little girls)--we might as well escort Hillary Clinton into the oval office now.

And if another Republican man says anything about rape other than it is a horrific, violent crime, I want to personally cut out his tongue. The college-age daughters of many of my friends voted for Obama because they were completely turned off by Neanderthal comments like the suggestion of “legitimate rape.”

This is what Huckabee gave BIRTH to in 2012.

Horseshit. We lost in 2012 because our nominee turncoated.

Most states have laws in place already that prevent that. You all (anti-abortion) supporters need to do some research. You can't tell the sex of the fetus until after the first tri-mester, and elective abortions are not allowed after that.

Be honest it is open season on preborn babies. A woman can kill the preborn baby for any reason she wants.

Post a link......otherwise you're just spewing nonsense.

Post a link for what???

Damn, you don't even remember what you said? Post a link proving that abortions are taking place for any reason the woman wants.

It would probably be easier where you could provide me a link where a woman is prevented by law from have an abortion for any of the reasons I listed.

I guess that is your way of saying you couldn't find one.....but I'm sure that won't stop you from repeating that same nonsense. In states where abortions are done after the first trimester, it is usually caused by the restrictions posed by rules brought about by anti-abortion supporters.


Gestational Limits: 43 states prohibit abortions, generally except when necessary to protect the woman’s life or health, after a specified point in pregnancy, most often fetal viability.

The Supreme Court ruled in the case of Roe v. Wade (1973) that a woman had the right to choose abortion to end a pregnancy through the first trimester (three months) of gestation. Inthe latter stages of pregnancy, danger to the life of the mother could still justify a legal abortion. Political struggles followed over legalized abortions. Some state legislatures passed limitations such as requiring teenage girls to obtaintheir parent's consent in order to get an abortion. Despite appointment of anti-abortion justices by Presidents Reagan and Bush, the Supreme Court has not over-turned the basic Wade case rule.
Elective Abortion



The Number of Abortions after the First Trimester Is Relatively Small

• Between 1990 and 1997, the number of abortions in the United States fell from 1,429,577 to 1,186,039 (CDC, 2000). The CDC estimates that 55 percent of legal abortions occur within the first eight weeks of gestation, and 88 percent are performed within the first 12 weeks. Only 1.4 percent occur after 20 weeks (CDC, 2000).

Are you suggesting that whites were living in peace with each other before they invaded America and massacred over 100 million Native Americans? Try to stick with the thread topic. Abortion is legal. Abortion is a woman's right. A pregnant woman has first priority.

You speak for yourself & those you think you speak for are fully capable of speaking for themselves.

Was it you that quoted a passage from Exodus earlier when asked about what Jesus thought & said about abortion?

No, it's true. The majority of women despise abortion on demand.

As do all decent humans. That's why bad law had to be made to force it upon us. We wouldn't, and didn't, vote it in. We recognize it as a violation of rights, not an expression of them.

If you don't believe in the right to choose, then don't choose. I've yet to see anyone in this country shackle a woman & drag her to PP to terminate a pregnancy.

I don't commit murder. That doesn't mean I have no obligation to stop it when I have the ability to. And whether or not you've seen anyone drag women to PP it happens on a daily basis.

And that is none of your business.

What are you even talking about? What's none of my business? Are you an apologist for assault as well as murder?

You can't even follow the line of "posting"? Anyone can see that she wasn't responding to you....idiot.

I'm curious, how many abortions have you prevented in the past 40 years?

Why do you ask? Does it make you sad that certain babies still yet live and that they might not be white?

Absolutely. But the majority in Congress talk the talk, but when it's time to vote, their record shows they are only pro birth.

Birth control is readily available, there is no reason for the sheer numbers of abortions taking place, none

Yet you have Republican politicians trying to restrict contraceptives.......hmmmm, maybe you don't keep up with your politicians. Tsk, tsk....


Yet in the past six months, social conservatives have widened their offensive, and their new target is clear: Not satisfied with making it harder to obtain legal abortions, they want to limit access to birth control, too.
The Republican War on Contraception


Congress's Republicans seem really confused: They want to restrict abortion on a national scale, but they also don't want to allow women access to birth control to help prevent pregnancy in the first place.
