Rubio says unborn child's right should prevail over mother's



An outspoken opponent of abortion, Rubio said the unborn child’s rights should prevail over the mother’s.
“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 you’re not a society that gives precedence to life above every other right, then you’re headed in a very dangerous direction.”

but refuse to help provide things like free daycare.
Not to mention they refuse to supply free health coverage for the woman while she is pregnant and the child as it grows.

When he first came on the scene, he was being promoted as a Latino with a pretty face who was destined for greatness. Then they figured out what an idiot he was, and they seem to have abandoned that idea. Hope Val Demings beats the socks off him!

From the comments:

Thankfully, there are millions of Floridians, especially women who will gladly be helping Run Away Rubio with his dream of losing his election while supporting something that little if anyone else supports. See ya! Wouldn't wanna be ya!


Once again… republicans working hard to give you freedoms by limiting choice.


I am pro life, but have some sense. Please revisit this topic when YOU have a female member of your family that has this hard decision to make for health reasons and let me know if you still back that statement up Mr. Rubio. It is sad that men really think they know a woman's body. I sure hope dogs don't think that way. Both lives are valuable when doing things the right way. If you go have unsafe sex and get pregnant then I will accept this point of view. But if there is a medical condition that will harm baby or mom, that is something to look at for safety reasons.


"...I would rather be right and lose an election than wrong,” And, lose, he will!


Sarah Palin's loss yesterday, as well as Dems picking up an average of 6 points in special elections in former Trump districts, is a harbinger for Rubio. Why Republicans have declared a war on women is beyond 🤔 common sense. First, it was "I have a right to control my body" anti COVID nonsense. Now, "We old men have a right to control your body" lunacy.


Republicans have now alienated women voters, the black community , refugees, the LGBT+ community, etc. Watch for the big blue wave in November.


Rubio, you are done buddy

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.

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.

The now living need be required to guarantee and invest in health care, education, housing, infrastructure, etc,; everything needed for the general welfare of the future unborn, up to the seventh generation.

I mean, after all, what goes into the pregnant person's body goes into the unborn child and if the pregnant person is not cared for, neither will the unborn child

Unborn should be able to get child support from 0-18 years old, along with health care.

So the mass of cells the doctors removed from my mother’s womb were more important than she ever was to my father my sister and I? Even back in the 1950s that was considered ghastly.

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.

..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.
