Mike Huckabee Won't Rule Out Using Federal Troops To Stop Abortions

[Lakhota]

GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is open to the idea of using federal troops and the FBI to stop women from having abortions.

"I will not pretend there is nothing we can do to stop this," Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas and an outspoken social conservative, said Thursday at a campaign stop in Jefferson, Iowa.

Huckabee addressed abortion again at his next stop in Rockwell City, Iowa, where a reporter asked him whether stopping abortion would mean using federal troops or the FBI.

"We'll see if I get to be president," Huckabee said, according to the Topeka Capital-Journal.

"All American citizens should be protected," he added.

Fetuses aren't American citizens - but pregnant women seeking abortions for mental, physical and/or financial reasons are!

I guess the fetus's of illegal immigrants are American citizens even before they are born. Interesting.

The Huckster is showing his un-American side which is a good thing at this stage because it means he will lose should he become the GOP candidate.

Women won't vote for someone who wants to deprive them of their rights by the illegal use of the military on American soil.

He won't.

I can't believe people in this country still talk about Mike Huckabee. What the hell's wrong with us?

 

[JakeStarkey]

Huckabee, whom I like, says some very silly and dangerous things.

This thread might mean something if Huckabee was going to get the nod....he won't and never had a prayer of doing so

When invitro fertilization clinics purge the frozen zygotes from their liquid nitrogen storage vats, is that considered mass murder? Or do the Social Conservatives just get too much glee out of harassing their fellow American citizens when they chose a legal medical procedure?

Who are the federal troops supposed to shoot?

I still like to talk about him - because he's like a poster child for the loony right.

Since the pregnant women are culpable they need to be shot according to the Huckster.

How else can you stop them from getting abortions?

He also didn't say what the OP is claiming. Not answering a reporter who makes this comment does not = Huckabee claiming this.

I hate dishonest people.

See Huffington Post and the OP.

Ah, never mind. You're correct. Read Matt Taibbi's Tweet feed, he's constantly making shit up and getting called on it. Nothing to see here

It was right there in the OP link.

Huckabee has long spoken out against abortion, and last year, he suggested that the issue wasworse than the Holocaust.

"If you felt something incredibly powerful at Auschwitz and Birkenau over the 11 million killed worldwide and the 1.5 million killed on those grounds, cannot we feel something extraordinary about 55 million murdered in our own country in the wombs of their mothers?" he asked. ​

I agree with the poster in another thread that a Christie-Huckabee hot dog eating contest would be awesome.

OMG, now the left has their panties in a twist over the possibility of a Huckabee candidacy?

Get real, bois.
