Huckabee on Meet the Press, part 1


The Huckster says, “I have no desire to throw women in jail, I just want us to stop throwing babies in the garbage.”


At first I thought that this was just him saying that he doesn’t want women to go to jail, just as you would hate to see anyone go to jail because just punishments aren't pleasant. But he clearly said (On Meet the Press) that he would not criminalize women who seek abortions and would NOT EVEN put an abortion doctor in jail, but would “find some way to sanction him”. He clearly does not understand biblical principles of justice and does not take the 14th amendment seriously.

He just got through saying that his beliefs about abortion go beyond religious reasoning and that they come out of the same convictions that say we should treat people of different races and religions same. But yet he is advocating a much, much, lower penalty for those responsible for murdering an unborn baby than would be conceivable for the general population. How is this treating people equally?
