To say that Mike Huckabee's ideas about reproductive rights are out of the American mainstream is an understatement.
Huckabee Backs Denying Abortion To 10-Year-Old Raped By StepfatherBy Lydia O'Connor
In an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union," the former Arkansas governor argued that the Paraguayan government's refusal to allow an abortion for the now-11-year-old, who gave birth last week after being raped by her stepfather, prevented a second tragedy.
"Let nobody be misled, a 10-year-old girl being raped is horrible, but does it solve a problem by taking the life of an innocent child?" he asked. He added later, "When I think about one horror, I also think about the possibilities that exist and I just don't want to think that somehow we discounted a human life ... Let's not compound the tragedy by taking yet another life."
Huckabee tries to compare this to the shortages of clean water in the developing world? Because this happened an Paraguay?
Mike Huckabee wants to lead the charge in the Republicans' holy war on women.
