His rationale for such a decision is two-fold
“Yeah, I really regret not having a child at age 10,” said no one ever.
Seriously. Fuck his entire “what if” a woman feels guilt bullshit argument. Does he ever stop to think about, “what if” a woman develops postpartum depression and anxiety leading to suicide attempts. That happens to a huge amount of women. “What if” a woman can’t afford to house and adequately nourish the child? That…
It shouldn’t even matter that this is the victim of a rape. Forcing a ten year old girl to risk her life carrying a pregnancy to term because you’re generally opposed to abortion is disgusting. What’s he going to say if, God forbid, neither mother or unborn child survives birth?
I once met a woman who had a baby at age 10.
I don’t think you need to oppose an exception to abortion bans in the case of danger to the pregnant woman to be consistent. You do need to oppose exceptions for rape and incest, because otherwise that makes it clear you don’t really care about the fetus, just about making sure sluts get punished. But we make…
The rape and continued abuse of a ten year old girl — BY HER OWN FATHER. Rape, AND incest AND a life-threatening situation, and and this child is still being screwed over by everyone in her life, because somehow granting her an abortion would still be considered the bigger evil.
His staunch anti-abortion stance is disgusting and wrong, but what really really gets me is there is no other plan. That poor birth mother, or should we say birth CHILD, what now? Now that she has a baby, what now? Would Mr. Huckabee offer free child care and schooling for the mother? What about medical bills and…
I’m glad she asked. The grossness of the answer makes very clear to anyone who’d like to pretend otherwise that there is in fact no nuance in these retrograde positions.
The baby was delivered by planned C Section, precisely because labour and childbirth would have been so physically dangerous. That poor little girl.
He probably thinks pregnancy is no worse than putting a pillow under your shirt. Pregnancy was the most miserable time of my life, and I’m a grown, rather fit woman who had a “easy” pregnancy. That poor little girl. Huckabee is a sadistic shitstain. I frighten myself when I think of all the bad things I want to happen…
Here’s the thing. All anti-choice idiots are garbage human beings, but at least this garbage human being is consistent. If he thinks abortion is murder, it’s ALWAYS murder, no matter whether the mother was raped, etc. Same with Walker, et al. That said, again, they’re all still garbage human beings for taking away…
This makes me want to vomit. And then cry. Vomitcry if you will. Usually that only happens when I’ve had a bottle of Jack and my head is over the toilet.
This is a former governor and Fox television host. He’s not making some crazy rant on the internet. He is the Republican party. He is not a moron. He is a cruel, calculating man in a position of power.
I once met a woman who had a baby at age 10. She was 27, and had a 17-year-old. She loved her son, but she hated that she’d lost a great deal of her childhood, and she couldn’t get pregnant again and had a host of health problems from giving birth so many years before her body was ready. It was tragic and awful.
Not irrational at all. That same line has me fuming.
One is the child; the other is that birth mother who often will go through extraordinary guilt years later when she begins to think through what happened — with the baby, with her.
Does it really solve the problem if we take the life of this tumor? Let's not compound a tragedy, the tumor stays. I'm not pretending this is easy.
I hope his face gets pregnant with a brain tumor.
