Both same-sex marriage and abortion are issues of Constitutional protections for the person provided for the the 14th Amendment so apparently Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is apparently will leave the GOP if it ever stands behind the US Constitution over these two issues. That is the strange thing about the GOP. They repeatedly state that they support the US Constitution.... unless, pf course, the issue is the Protected Rights of the Person and then they abandon support for the Constitution completely. When it comes to issues of Constitutionality the apparent position of Huckabee is, "I was for it and now I'm against it."

![]() The article phrasing was strange to me. I knew that Republicans were backing away from "gay marriage", but abortion was an issue I figured they would have on their platform forever...

Regardless, Huckabee's got blinders on if he refuses to see the writing on the wall regarding gay marriage. Quote:

The right used to have the capability to garner votes by pushing the "gay" button. No longer. And Huckabee is stuck in the past... ![]()

![]() It seems that the numbers are certainly against Huckabee when it comes to these issues. But don't fool yourselves, at the grass roots level, away from the media and pols, there is a great number of Non-Atheist's, that have strong belief's, that are in line with Huckabee.

I've often asked anti-abortionists to cite where the Roe v Wade decision errors related to the US Constitution and legal precedent. I would do that again. You find any error in the historical, legal and Constitutional arguments in that decision. The only thing I'd ask is that you create a new thread on it (to avoid taking this thread off topic) and then invite me to participate by PM. Roe v. Wade | LII / Legal Information Institute Of note the only part of that decision that isn't supported by a conservative interpretation of the US Constitution was the protection of the viable fetus based upon "potential personhood" as that was a very "progressive" argument (that I agree with) as without this progressive interpretation all abortion restrictions would have been struck down as unconstitutional. I believe the "potential personhood" argument by the Supreme Court was a justifiable progressive interpretation in extending pragmatic protections to a "non-person" based upon a compelling argument that otherwise would not have had any protections under the law.
