But he things the unborn child has more rights RIGHT!! I am surprised the unborn donât have their own superpac
Um, yeah⌠a woman has a right to choose what to do with her body, unless she gets preggers for any reason, then itâs âAll your uterus are belong to the government.â
Forced birth is the new mantra of the GOP.
weak tea. at least christie used the word âmurder,â and also bragged about defunding planned parenthood, one can assume for the murders he believes they committed.
As a policymaker
He said that a woman has âa real rightâ to âchoose what to do with her body,â but that that right was trumped by the right of the unborn child to live.
thatâs not a moderate toneâŚ
"On the issue of life, to me, the issue of life is not a political issue. Itâs a human rights issue. It puts in conflict two competing rights.

On the one hand is the right of a woman to choose what to do with her body, which is a real right.
so heâs for the usual exceptions, right?
And on the other hand is the right of an unborn human child to live," Rubio said.
okâŚ
âAnd theyâre in conflict. As a policymaker, I must choose. I have chosen to err on the side of life,â he added.

Marco Rubio was likely pro choice at one point in his career, but seeing how his voting base is watching him closely, he has to think of âthe childrenâ.
So, according to Marco, women have a right to choose what to do with their body, and he assures us thatâs a ârealâ right â except in the sense that it has no actual effect in the real world. Got it.
And of course the unborn always vote republican. Assuming they are white unborn. Alla them others well yâknow we cainât let 'em vote.
Itâs so galling to hear men talking about womenâs bodies and futures as if theyâre public property. If these same republican men were the ones who got pregnant, thereâd be abortion clinics like thereâs Starbucks.
Once again a republican opts to car camp in a uterus.
I get so tired of their half ârightsâ for the mom and that an unbornâs rights trump that of the uterus itâs in. Rubio as with most men of his ilk have no idea what pregnancy is. I may be male but I spent nearly 50 years teaching and doing research in reproductive physiology. I know a bit more than the average republican senator from Florida does about pregnancy.
Marco Rubio is Todd Akin with a better comb-over.
Thatâs a pretty low bar! Iâd guess that Rubio & Co. are mostly clear on how to kick off a pregnancy, but after that, not so much.
Now that the zika virus is in Florida, I do wonder what Rubio would say to the woman whose ultrasound shows a fetus with microcephaly. âToo bad, so sad, you have to carry that fetus for another 5 months and donât expect any help from my government for the childâs medical bills and disabilities!â
Yeah, hard to see how a womanâs right is ârealâ if it evaporates the instant sheâs pregnant for any reason.
I hate these men who believe they have the right to discuss our bodies as if theyâre in the public realm and need regulation and supervision and we can only hope for permission to do what we want. I hope moderate and centrist republican women were listening to this and it disgusts them equally.
Stupio Rubio demands that a rape or incest victim must carry the child to term.
If they did, they would realize that biology has a hell of a lot more variety and twists than their ideology can address or their theology comprehend.
A fundamental error in Rubioâs thinking is the idea that a fetus is a child: It is not. For most of it!s time before birth it cannot even breathe air. It cannot become a child on its own either. Together a fetus and the woman!s body have the potential to create a child and before a fetus becomes a sentient child she has no duty to it unless she intends to carry it to term.
The argument from potential â That because a fetus could be turned into a child it is mandatory to treat it as though it is a child now â is illogical and ludicrous. Everyone has the potential to become a dead body. That does not give me the right to demand that Rubio be buried now.
That is why Roe must stand. It was an imperfect compromise between a womanâs right to determine her future and the moral complications of the possibility of an independently viable fetus.
