Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who is running for the Republican presidential nomination, on Wednesday at a debate in Durham, N.H., said that he supports a constitutional amendment that would ban abortion, the AP/Philadelphia Inquirer reports. The debate at the University of New Hampshire was moderated by Fox News’ Brit Hume (Quaid, AP/Philadelphia Inquirer, 9/6). Huckabee said he would “love to see” the U.S. adopt an amendment similar to one in the Arkansas Constitution “that says that we believe life begins at conception and that we ought to do everything in the world possible to protect it until its natural conclusion.”

How can you ban abortion? I agree with you on everything else except this issue. I myself had an abortion when I was younger because the doctors told me it would be my only way to survive the pregnancy. My body was not able to carry the baby, at this point in my life I don’t think what I did was wrong. I believe that abortion should be allowed when there are medical reasons or rape is involved. Also being a person that was raped, I couldn’t imagine what I would have done if I had ended up pregnant. Whether a rape victim decides to keep the child or not, they still have to deal with the fact that they are carrying a child because of a cruel and violent act. To tell someone that they couldn’t have an abortion in that instance would be cruel.

It is not the place of the government to choose that right for me. If abortions were banned, then there would be a wide spread problem of back alley abortions and women would be dying left and right.
Keep the gov’t out of MY rights as a person and a woman to choose what I can do to my body.
