I was in a restaurant at lunch today and saw a lady on Fox giving some great arguments against PPH. Couldn’t hear but it had captions. I don’t who she was but it was excellent. I’m not a Huckabee fan but he is definitely right on this issue. Abortion needs to be done away with in the U.S.
Yes! And Huckabee has been a strong pro-lifer for as long as we can remember. Here is a transcript from 12-30-07, Meet the Press:
MR. RUSSERT: Some Americans believe that life does not begin at conception, and that it’s...
GOV. HUCKABEE: Well, scientifically I think that’s almost...
MR. RUSSERT: But...
GOV. HUCKABEE: ...a point that you couldn’t argue. How, how could you say that life doesn’t begin at conception...
MR. RUSSERT: Right. Do you respect that view?
GOV. HUCKABEE: ...biologically?
MR. RUSSERT: Do you respect that view?
GOV. HUCKABEE: I respect it as a view, but I don’t think it has biological credibility.
MR. RUSSERT: And what would happen to doctors or women who participated in abortion?
GOV. HUCKABEE: It’s always the, the point of trying to say, “Are you going to criminalize it?” That’s not the issue.
MR. RUSSERT: Well, if it, if it’s illegal, it would be.
GOV. HUCKABEE: It would be. And I think you don’t punish the woman, first of all, because it’s not about—I consider her a victim, not a, not a criminal. You would...
MR. RUSSERT: But you would punish the doctor.
GOV. HUCKABEE: I think if a doctor knowingly took the life of an unborn child for money, and that’s why he was doing it, yeah, I think you would, you would find some way to sanction that doctor. I don’t know that you’d put him in prison, but there’s something to me untoward about a person who has committed himself to healing people and to making people alive who would take money to take an innocent life and to make that life dead. There’s something that just doesn’t ring true about the purpose of medical practice when the first rule of the Hippocratic Oath is “First, do no harm.” Well, if you take the life and suction out the pieces of an unborn child for no reason than its inconvenience to the mother, I don’t think you’ve lived up to your Hippocratic Oath of doing no harm.
[After this answer from Huckabee, Russert abruptly changed subjects. My husband and I were cheering Huckabee on. It wasn’t easy to be grilled by Russert, of course, and Huckabee handled it so well.]
