Rubio is pro-life without exception. His stance is consistent. I don't see what the issue is. People who are aware of Rubio's stance should not find this statement some kind of revelation.
Secondly, your post is about Rubio's stance and then you berate "these anti-abortion" people and state that "these anti-abortion" people are responsible to fund the lives of "these" children.
I am pro-life, I am not Marco Rubio and I do not agree with his stance with regard to no exceptions. If these pro-abortion people would stop being so divisive...
Its really a strange complex. The most vocal of pro-choice people are typically a repulsive sort of human debris that ironically is the best argument to terminate. Many pro-choice people should have been terminated. What I like least about them is their flagrant attempt to brand pro-life as some sort of attack on women. Pro-life people simply believe a fetus is protected by civil rights. So all it is is a moral hierarchy. I don't think that , but i know its what they think. This is why I do see a possible Zika apocalypse if pro-life zealots also get their way. We need functional humans , even if it s difficult line to draw. I am fundamentally for the right to be a parent.
The problem with Republicans is that they are determined to regulate people's personal lives. They are only for small government when it concerns their corporate pals. Anything else and they want to put the government into your bedroom and into your hospital room.
The issue is him self-righteously seeking to impose his own views on other peoples' personal decisions regarding legal medical procedures which are none of his or any other anyone else's damn business.
What if his constituency includes a large number of Hispanics who feel this way? Isn't he then speaking on their behalf, as all good politicians should, but don't?
I've done a lot of research with pols in certain states with large Hispanic populations and most are very religious and very anti-abortion, although their votes don't reflect that.

See, this is the perfect example. This is complete refuse. Pro-life people believe they are stopping parents from intruding on the life of a child. There is no contradiction. It is only a contradiction for those who would be best unborn due to an nonviable organ.
Again, I don't think that and disagree with them on a another consistent principle. I don't think a blood test is a mass slaughter of human life.

The Republicans are always decrying "over-regulation" and how they see it affecting business, but when it comes to social issues like gay rights, abortion and religion and they can't "over-regulate" fast enough! I just love it when some of my more conservative friends talk about the welfare queens and their numerous progeny while screaming about some little precious bundle from God getting aborted. They fail to realize that there is no money for abortions for these poor women. The disconnect is unbelievable! The Zika virus might end up affecting more women than the CDC has predicted and money to eradicate the species of mosquitoes responsible is in bureaucratic limbo! Way to go, Marco!
As a life long Republican, even I was amazed by Rubio's comment. Maybe, just maybe, Republicans will realize that you are NEVER going to get rid of abortion (that genie is out of the bottle) and that LGBTQ AMERICANS are people too. THEN they might start winning elections.
I can't believe he came up with such a stupid statement! A child born with microcephaly could cost society hundreds of thousands to a million to care for. If ever there was a need for abortion, this is it! Usually, people who oppose abortion are the first ones to decry large expenditures on social programs like Medicaid. Are these anti-abortion people willing to cough up the money to pay for the Zika babies?
How self-righteous of Rubio.
Most microcephalics do not develop cognitively beyond an infant. They cannot communicate, control their muscles or eliminations, have repeated seizures, cannot eat (must be fed through a gastric feeding tube), cannot walk or talk. Many become ventilator dependent for breathing.

Exactly. Reminds me of the Terri Shavio debacle and how Jeb Bush had a state patrol escorted ambulance to take Terri to the hospital to have her feeding tube reinserted.
He is not imposing anything other than his opinion. Did he sign some executive order or something that the OP failed to mention.
People are still entitled to their opinions are they not? Fascism has not usurped the Constitution during the opening ceremonies of the Olympics or did we all miss something. Sheesh, some people need to go to their safe spaces and let the adults handles the hard stuff like listening to others and being able to disagree without going Bat S crazy!

And yet, for all these right-wing pro-life politicians and others....if their daughters or granddaughters were impregnated by rape, or had a baby with Zika-related complications, or had a risk of dying during pregnancy due to complications, do you think for a moment they would oppose an abortion when it was their own beloved daughters or granddaughters?
