Huckabee: Women Have To Be “Talked Into” Abortions

“We don’t seem to understand that we need to quit playing defense and start playing offense. It’s really hard to score when you don’t have the ball. And Republicans keep fumbling and give the other team the ball. We recognize that an abortion has two victims. Obviously, the unborn child, and the other victim is the woman who’s the birth mother, who probably got talked into abortion by a boyfriend, a friend, a mother, a grandmother, maybe a father. And the fact is, we’re not wanting to punish that woman in any way. We want to reach out and show her compassion and assistance, maybe to keep the baby, maybe to find an adoptive parent. But never to condemn her.” – Mike Huckabee, suggesting that women are incapable of making their own decisions about abortion.
