Here's another example:
Brian: Ok, now, um, this is my personal opinion is that it [Roe v. Wade] should be overturned and at the VERY least kicked back to the states
Governor Huckabee: Mm-hmm.
Brian: so do you think this should be a state issue if you couldnt get it passed, or ?
Governor Huckabee: Well, if was overturned, frankly it would be passed back to the states, because thats all Roe v. Wade really did was to take it away from the states and federalize it. So the states would have it. In my state, for example, it would have automatically have been settled, since we already have a constitutional provision to deal with, uh, the right to a human, uh, the right to sanctity of life.
But obviously I think the ultimate goal is that we would never be a society that would terminate the life of a completely innocent human being.
Yeah, its best left to the states. I mean, life is either life or it isnt. I recognize that you often get what you get in increments, and if there was a law that said that there were exceptions for the physical life not, you know, just this wide definition of gee I dont feel well or its going to make me upset but for the physical life of the mother, in that case youre really not trying to take a life, youre trying to save all the lives, you realize there may be one of those rare occasions where if you cant save one youre not going to criminalize the doctor for having saved all the lives he can.

Huckabee then goes on to refute the point that it is for the States to decide. You have to read the whole sentence to get the meaning.
