Mike Huckabee Won't Rule Out Using Federal Troops To Stop Abortions

[Katashi_itto]

GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is open to the idea of using federal troops and the FBI to stop women from having abortions.

"I will not pretend there is nothing we can do to stop this," Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas and an outspoken social conservative, said Thursday at a campaign stop in Jefferson, Iowa.

Huckabee addressed abortion again at his next stop in Rockwell City, Iowa, where a reporter asked him whether stopping abortion would mean using federal troops or the FBI.

"We'll see if I get to be president," Huckabee said, according to the Topeka Capital-Journal.

"All American citizens should be protected," he added.

On Twitter, journalist Matt Taibbi said he had asked Huckabee the abortion question.

1. That's a really big fucking "if"

[LuvNewcastle]

2. If he somehow won the election,

I would get the fuck out before he took the oath. Having him as President would be, for gay people, something like having Hitler as Chancellor. I'm not exaggerating at all. And if we have that many idiots who would elect that inbred preacher, I'm afraid it would be curtains for the good old USA.

3. Huckabee will kill every woman in America if it will prevent one abortion.

4. If I am elected president I vow to have all

Republican men neutered.

Oh the many problems that would solve.

5. So he's planning to declare Martial law over something that's completely legal?

He's never heard of Posse Comitatus, either, apparently. Fucking moron.

6. He's on that same train the Pope rides, hating gay people and attacking women.

It's amusing to me that some on DU only criticize some anti gay and anti choice activists while others get their loyal devotion. I think with Franny it's the props and costumes that woo his fans, to them it's like a bus and truck production of Mame, glitz and theatrics covering an inherent and needy mediocrity.
