An outspoken opponent of abortion, Rubio said the unborn childs rights should prevail over the mothers.
You have the right of what happens to her which she possesses from God and a right of an unborn innocent human being to live and these rights are in conflict, he said. I just believe, with all my heart, that if youre not a society that gives precedence to life above every other right, then youre headed in a very dangerous direction.

Not to mention they refuse to supply free health coverage for the woman while she is pregnant and the child as it grows.

(17,112 posts)I will entertain the fable that the unborn have the same or more rights than the body housing it.
In the meantime, I wish the r's who elevate the fetus to a fetish for worship would just stfu.

(36,557 posts)Parents can't be compelled to donate their organs to their child, even to save the child's life. Why does a fetus have more claim on a woman's body than her child who has been born? Because to these twisted fucks, a potential human being has more rights than the living, breathing living human being already on the planet. But tell me, please, how many "pro-lifers" care about the billions of humans that are going to die due to global climate change? Zero, zip, zilch.
I wish Rubio would choke on his dinner in front of his family & end up face down in his mashed potatoes. Fuck you, you self-righteous piece of shit.

(549 posts)a cognizant mind I'd want to --
1) Be born with a birth defect.
2) Induce a pregnancy that would physically harm another person - that is, my mother.
3) Be born to parent or parents who are emotionally unprepared to raise a child and will in all probability subject me to a life of misery.
Just because some well-heeled senator thinks it's the right thing to do.

Septua
(2,267 posts)..is getting to be a tired excuse to justify winning over voters, particularly when the voters represent a minority. Rubio probably doesn't give two shits either way. But just because he believes it's wrong, doesn't make it wrong nor give him the right to prohibit abortion by a woman who has a legitimate need to have one.
