“On the issue of life, to me, the issue of life is not a political issue. It’s 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. And on the other hand is the right of an unborn human child to live,” Rubio said.
The freshman senator said the rights were in conflict, but he stays with traditional Republican values.
“And they’re in conflict. As a policymaker, I must choose. I have chosen to err on the side of life,” he added.
Take a look at the first and last sentences. This guy can’t maintain a consistent thought process for more than five seconds.
Yes! He also said he would rather lose than be on the wrong side of life . But I swore I heard him say he would sign a bill with exceptions for rape, etc. I thought there was no compromise on Life.
I have chosen to err on the side of life," he added.
I guess he’s also decided to err on the side of not showing up for work, not informing himself on issues, and not being self-aware of his many deficiencies, personal and political.
Rubio has undoubtedly secured the rapist vote. Way to go Agua Buddha!
This is just more evidence that the last time a damned Republican Cult politician cared about you, you were a fetus. Imagine The Rube’ looking into the eyes of a raped girl or woman and congratulating her on the new ‘baby,’ her gift from God and the blessed event.
ANY woman who would vote for someone like Rubio is an absolute fool who wants her daughters to fight once again the fight their grandmothers fought and is, absolutely, a self loathing idiot and beyond help.
Obviously, The Rube-EO’ is trying to have it both ways. Most women aren’t having it and should corporate whore and lightweight Rubio emerge as the GOP candidate for the presidency, this issue alone should sink him.
Just ask these pols how well the issue worked for them in the recent election cycles. Most women aren’t sheople in the GOP cult and they aren’t as gullible as the GOP hopes:
I have no doubt that Rubio’s handlers are working on the issue: “We can muddy the water and spin this so no one will really know what you believe. No worries.”
His answer is way too pat – as a male, he will never have to make such a choice to protect his own bodily integrity, emotional well-being and future life options. The state has no good interest in forcing a woman to carry a pregnancy that was the result of incest and/or rape. And the state has no good interest in forcing a woman to carry a pregnancy which will result in a severely-damaged child that either will not survive outside the womb or will live a life of suffering. Look at what’s happening with the Zika virus and just imagine thousands of women to forced to carry pregnancies which would result in such devastatingly brain damaged children.
Putting aside the abortion issue for a moment, Republicans don’t even believe women should have unfettered access to birth control, so it’s hard for me to take Marco seriously when he professes concern for women’s ability to lead their own lives independently.
Uh yeah, I hear ya… a woman has a right to choose what to do with her body. Some of 'em choose to get pregnant so they’ve effectively chosen what comes next…
“And they’re in conflict. As a policymaker, I must choose. I have chosen to err on the side of life,” he added."
Well I am a guy but I do think the word choice in this arguments refers to choices the woman is supposed to have. The Freudian slip “err on the side of life” is appreciated but its really not his call. I think that’s what women are talking about.
After all it is women that get raped or abandoned in pregnancy. It’s women that get stuck with the physiological and social realities of conception and beyond. So even as a guy I don’t see why they shouldn’t be given the choice…errant or not to do what they choose.
But phooey! Lets cut the crap. Men want to control women’s sexuality because we’re afraid we are going to lose it to another man. We want religion, society, culture and the law to make their sexuality conform to our selfish and weak needs and viola!. Here it is. You best be a virgin bitch because that’s what God wants ( so do I so you can’t compare me to someone better ) and you best “submit to me” because God want’s that too ( so do I so I don’t have to put any effort into keeping you or face rejection ) and the dress code says keep your skirt below your knees ( which is fine by me because I don’t want other guys looking at my stuff ) because that’s the right and moral thing to do.
Guys choose to get women pregnant and have effectively chosen to put the women in controll of what happens next. If a guy has a problem with abortion he can simply refuse to sleep with any woman who is unwilling to create a child from that encounter.
