Mike Huckabee threatens actual war on women … with troops to stop abortions

If Mike Huckabee becomes president, he will consider using all available resources to stop abortions in the US – including a domestic military intervention.

At a succession of campaign stops this week, the former Arkansas governor said he would violate a landmark supreme court ruling to accomplish his goal of ending abortion.

“I will not pretend there is nothing we can do to stop this,” Huckabee said at one stop in Iowa.

The Rolling Stone reporter Matt Taibbi pressed Huckabee at the next campaign stop, asking if he would use the national guard or the FBI to stop abortions. Huckabee responded: “We’ll see, if I get to be president.”

But during press questions at the campaign stop, Huckabee said he would invoke the fifth and 14th amendments to protect what he believes to be humans. The fifth amendment protects against trial without jury and ensures the due process of law; the 14th addresses citizenship and the rights of citizens.

5. What a total asshole. Kill the mother because

the fetus is gonna be aborted anyway? Great logic.

Who the hell does he think he is, telling ALL women of childbearing age what they have to do, and threatening violence against them.

I wonder if female soldiers would carry out those orders or protect the pregnant woman against harassment?

16. Makes you wonder why they don't understand a very basic thing:

When women have access to birth control and sex education, abortion rates go down.

But, I figure the anti-abortion stuff is just looking to the future when they're going to need all the poor people they can get to fight in their stupid wars.
