“It’s the logic of the Civil War,” Huckabee said Sunday, comparing abortion rights to slavery. “If morality is the point here, and if it’s right or wrong, not just a political question, then you can’t have 50 different versions of what’s right and what’s wrong.”
It didn’t work out with slavery legal in some states and ILLEGAL in others. The same is true of abortion. It’s WRONG in ANY state.
Finally some CONSISTENCY would be nice!
Killing babies is WRONG in ANY state.
Having said that,
“Huckabee rejects Constitution as viable entity”
this is a totally misleading title.
Our Constitution is fine. Outlawing abortion fits in with our COnstition just as making slavery ILLEGAL fits in to our Constitution.
I wonder, have ANY of you even read the Constitution or the Bill of Rights? Or just like to turn your nose up at the documents in sheer ignorance?

"I wonder, have ANY of you even read the Constitution or the Bill of Rights? Or just like to turn your nose up at the documents in sheer ignorance?"
Huckabee knows as much about the Constitution as Ron Paul.
Some facts:
- The Civil War did not end slavery or grant any rights to slaves/former-slaves, the 13th, 14th & 15th Amendment to the Constitution did this.
- The 13th, 14th & 15th Amendment grant rights specifically to slaves, those born or naturalized in the US, and voters, respectively.
How do Huckaabee and you see this as applying to unborn babies?
* * Note: I morally disagree with abortion also and believe Roe v. Wade should be overturned... so don't give me an arguement on this but ONLY on the Constitution & its existing Amendments.
It took an amendment to the Constitution to end slavery. A similar amendment to end abortion would never make it throught the amendment process. It would only take 13 states to block it, and the Democrats control a whole lot more legislatures than that.
Just reading the text of the Constitution doesn’t give you the context. I’m a big believer in original intent (the intent of the RATIFIERS), and the intent was a limited federal government with enumerated powers, with the 10th clarifying that without a doubt.
We currently have a WRONG Supreme Court decision saying that the states are disallowed from restricting abortions anywhere.
Would it be better to stick to your strong moral stance and demand that it be outlawed everywhere, and get NOWHERE with that,
or to return it to the states (which would nearly immediately reduce abortions in many states)? Fight it state to state, until you have 3/4 (ratification number) agreeing, THEN go for the amendment.
Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
