Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[follylama]

"im all for fiscal conservatism."

Me too!! Socially, I'm all for individual autonomy in making lifestyle choices... Heck, even Huck is sounding wishy-washy on abortion...

He says: "Sanction" the doctors for profiting, but no jail time for taking innocent life -- probably not, "I don't know". Women are "victims"...

So, what does Huck want here... Abortion as a municipal offense -- like a parking ticket, so gov can "profit" too?? Aside from paying lip sevice to the ultra-right, what's Huck's plan? Abortion is "untoward"... But would Huck advocate overturning Roe v. Wade? Impose his views on a states like NY, NJ?... Start "sanctioning" OB/GYN's, you will exacerbate the shortage.

"I think if a doctor knowingly took the life of an unborn child for money, and that's why he was doing it, yeah, I think you would, you would find some way to sanction that doctor," Huckabee said during an appearance on NBC's Meet the Press. "I don't know that you'd put him in prison, but there's something to me untoward about a person who has committed himself to healing people and to making people alive who would take money to take an innocent life and to make that life dead."
