Romney & Huckabee On Abortion

Notice how Romney uses an answer on abortion to try to polarize the debate by claiming Americans are divided on whether we WANT more or less abortions. The vast majority of Americans - including those of us who are strongly pro-choice - would "love to have an America where we didn't have abortions." We just want women to be able to choose. But Romney is so desperate to polarize the debate, that he tries to create a division where there is none. By contrast, Huckabee uses the question to try to give a more unifying answer - one that discusses how the entire debate over life is not just about abortion, but about all sorts of issues.

@rexaxxel7 Let's see someone stick a giant needle in you, before you have an opinion on abortion.

@thatcobainchick The death penalty is for murderers who deserve to die. A baby didn't do anything wrong.

And not all Republicans are ok with wars. However, I would argue that a jihadist militia member with an Ak-47 isn't exactly "defenseless."

We need sane politics strictly by the Constitution: RON PAUL 2012!!!!

Every one of us was an unborn child. The only thing added to a fertilized egg, once fertilized, is protein and oxygen. Mother Nature does the rest. I hope, hope, hope that future generations will look back and see abortion for what it is; the great crime of our time. Just as the Nazis de-humanized the Jews and made people think it was okay to kill them, so to do we de-humanize unborn children and make people believe it's okay to kill them. This is so, so, so above politics or anything else.

A zygotic clump of tissue, even a zygotic clump of tissue with human DNA, is not a person. It is a zygotic clump of tissue. Regardless of how much you religious freaks pray, and hope, and beg, and lie, a zygotic clump of tissue is not a person.

@ThevanGoghBlues thats completely inaccurate. He opposed passage of a bill that would have contributed to abortion fundings. Democrats, wanting to make Republicans look bad, decided to tack in that provision to make it harder for the GOP to vote for the bill

@thatcobainchick You're inventing a reason to put women above men. That's the problem I'm having with what you're saying.

We both have agreed that other people don't have any right to tell someone else what to do with their unborn children. You said that in the first post.

But since then, you've been arguing that women have a little right to do that, while men still have zero.

Or do women have zero too, but their zero is a little higher than a man's zero?

[thatcobainchick]

@ninjajesus81 Ouch. I have my opinion and you have yours. I'm done trying to restate mine.

[ninjajesus81]

@thatcobainchick So because a woman has the capability to carry a child, that means they have more of a right to tell OTHER women what to do with their children than men do? That still makes no sense. They have just as much of a right to tell you what to do with your unborn child as a man does; ZERO right.

@ninjajesus81 My husband wouldn't be a sexist, rude politician as most of them are. I would discuss the matter with my husband and make a joint decision. It makes more sense to me to have a woman tell me what to do with my unborn child. Women carry and birth children. Not men.

[ninjajesus81]

@thatcobainchick Why is it any more rude?

And you would find it less rude for a female who is a perfect stranger to tell you what to do with your unborn child, than it would be for your husband to tell you what to do with it?

[thatcobainchick]

@ninjajesus81 Oh I certainly wouldn't. I just find a male attempting to command me to do whatever with my child is even more rude.

I would of course accept medical advice on what to do, doesn't matter the gender of the doctor obviously.
