How would Huckabee or GOP use the military in such fashion? Interestingly none of other GOP candidates criticized that meme. I have a hard time imagining how such policy could be implemented. Would he send a tank column to shut down Planned Parenthood.

(4,522 posts)Pregnancy test over the counter would be come illegal. Only Dr.s could preform the test and results would be forwarded to a new alphabet agency who would then contact women with positive results.
These women would then be rounded up and put in maternity camps similar to the interment camps of WWII, guarded and enforced by the MILITARY.
The penalty for non compliance would be life in prison (or possibly death) for the mother, after the baby was born.
Large rewards would be given for turning in women trying to hide their pregnancies.
Any child without a federally issued birth certificate, would be taken from the parents and raised by the new Theocracy.

One reason the Military Services have trouble operating jointly is that they don't speak the same language.
For example, if you told Navy personnel to "secure a building," they would turn off the lights and lock the doors.
The Army would occupy the building so no one could enter.
Marines would assault the building, capture it, and defend it with suppressive fire and close combat.
The Air Force, on the other hand, would take out a three-year lease with an option to buy.
Actually the military would say "not our job you dope"- just in a tactful manner
