You do realize Huckabee thought abortion should go to the states and only changed when he decided to run for President?

No, but in some contexts that was the official position of the pro-life movement.

I don’t want to say it’s a game, but as hard as it was to push pro-life judges who would overturn Roe, we knew it would be impossible if we argued that the result of that would be to ban abortion nationally.

So many pro-lifers would say that ALL overturning Roe does is to put the abortion question back into the hands of the voters of each state, where it belongs.

I’m sure I said that a time or two, although obviously in MY state I was going to fight to prohibit abortion, and I was going to continue to work for the day we could ban abortion nationally.

But no, I don’t know that much about Huckabee’s former positions on many things.
