GOOD ONE!

Which he has a snowball's chance in hell of achieving, and all but the most simplistic among his followers already know this.

But his agenda is no more, and no less offensive than hat of the LGBT militants who would sue the owners of a small business with strong religious beliefs (i.e: bridal shops and caterers) for refusing to participate in same-sex marriages.

What's fair for one side is fair for the other.

Abortion is a legal medical procedure, discrimination in a business open to the public isn't legal.

Simple, eh?

Nope; you've just admitted that you're only interested in slanting the law to fit your own purposes.

The businesses attacked by the LBGT militants were deliberately targeted for the purposes of picking a fight, and possibly enriching those militants (and their lawyers) at the expense of a group they view as a perfect enemy. There was absolutely no reason they could not have taken their business to a merchant more in synch with their ideas -- purchased something more suitable, and possibly obtained a better price.

The principle of refusing service on religious or conscientious grounds involving sexual orientation hasn't yet been fully addressed via the courts; Assuming the current occupant of the White House and his cronies don't succeed in further "stacking the deck", your personal cause is not completely written into the law of the land.

And please don't fall back on the lame excuse that "It's the law"; the Nazis who ran the concentration camps said the same thing.

Oh? HOW am I slanting the law? I stated facts, abortion is a legal medical procedure. What part of the law is it you believe legalizes discrimination? For all intents and purposes it appears you are the one attempting to slant things to suit your purpose. If you want to argue your position take it up with the SCOTUS, I believe they'll tell you you're wrong.

"Abortion should be legal, safe and RARE!"

No woman wants to have an abortion, they have one because either birth control or family planning failed.

Maybe if the Moral Right spent its energy making birth control and family planning readily available instead of re fighting a lost battle,
we could see it as Rare.

The Catholic Church is the biggest hypocrite on this issue in that they against BOTH birth control and abortion.

Default Huckabee: As president, I'd consider deploying troops, FBI to stop abortions

What a difference 8 years makes.

Huckleberry 2008:

Likeable, down-home, fairly reasonable sounding candidate. Does well in primaries.

Huckleberry 2016:

Angry, spittle-spewing religious crackpot and hardliner. Stick a fork in him.

So Mike Huckabee is literally advocating using federal troops to ignore an active Supreme Court decision.

Thank goodness this clown has abysmal poll numbers.

Huckabee hasn't changed. He said some things in his 2008 campaign that were just as theocratic as what he is saying today. The difference is that the Christian Right is far more enraged today than in 2008 and he is tapping into that anger. With so many other candidates in the primary, he has to make it clear that he is the "Christian" choice.

So misleading. Obama is the one who wants to force us into submission. Huckabee isn't going to force anything on anyone. Not on America, anyway. He just wants to help us make America great again, but to do that, you have to have a contrast to Obama and the hard left, as well as have a plan to defeat and destroy ISIS. That's the mission. Is Barry stopping ISIS? No, and that's because he's practically on their side.
