In reply to the discussion: Huckabee: As President I Will Consider Deploying US Troops Against American Women Who Have Abortions [View all]kwolf68

So the book on the Republicans losing in 2008 and 2012 was that their social conservatism was so out of the mainstream. Politicians who prattled on about rape can't create a pregnancy and others who said it's a "gift from God" got roundly defeated. So you'd think they'd moderate their views some.
Then comes this bit of idiocy. I get doubling-down on stupid, but what do they hope to accomplish? Are they just trying to out-clown the next guy in order to get the nomination?

BTW, Rand wants to re-write the 14th to re-define what a 'person' is. Ladies need not apply.
