Huck On Steele Abortion Comments: "Very Troubling"
Mike Huckabee called "very troubling" today Republican National Committee Chairman Michael S. Steele's remarks to GQ magazine that women should have an "individual choice" when it comes to abortion.
Comments attributed to Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele are very troubling and despite his clarification today the party stands to lose many of its members and a great deal of its support in the trenches of grassroots politics. Since 1980, our party has been steadfast and principled in believing in the dignity and worth of every human life. We have supported a Constitutional amendment to protect life and the party has taken the position that no one individual has the supreme right to own another person in totality including the right to take that life. For Chairman Steele to even infer that taking a life is totally left up to the individual is not only a reversal of Republican policy and principle, but it's a violation of the most basic of human rights--the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. His statement today helps, but doesn't explain why he would ever say what he did in the first place.
Thank goodness there is still some sanity in the
Republican Party. It has always amazed me the party of less government intervention, wants to force a woman to have a child she does not want for whatever the reason, as they have deregulated all the check & balance protections in banking, mining, public lands, oil exploration, you name it, but they want to have control of a woman's womb!!! There are many people in the Republican Party that feel that way, but the crazy zombies think they rule the party, & they will of course take care of him.
