Mike Huckabee seems like a nice guy. Maybe he is. But he’s also a real jerk.
One of [Huckabee’s] first acts as governor was to block Medicaid from funding an abortion for a mentally retarded teenager who had been raped by her stepfather — an act in direct violation of federal law, which requires states to pay for abortions in cases of rape. “The state didn’t fund a single such abortion while Huckabee was governor,” says Dr. William Harrison of the Fayetteville Women’s Clinic. “Zero.”
I don’t think I need to editorialize on this one. But, I’d like to know what percentage of the electorate would think the Huckster did the right thing. What do you think?
