Here's something you might not know about Mike Huckabee: he wants to ban some forms of contraception, including the birth control pill, Plan B (aka "the morning after pill"), and RU-486.
This isn't a position he privately whispered into somebody's ear.
He has said it publicly, and there's video.
Here's a transcript of the video, which is from Huckabee's April 13, 2007 interview with The Des Moines Register editorial board.
HUCKABEE: There are some forms of birth control that really are the destruction of a fertilized egg.
QUESTIONER (male voice): Should the government ban that sort of birth control?
QUESTIONER (female voice): RU-486? The morning after pill? Birth control pills?
HUCKABEE: Yeah, I, I personally think there are better ways to deal with contraception than destroying a human life. So, again I’m going to say that I’m always going to make my position on the side of protecting human life.
Mike Huckabee may be an affable religious extremist, but he's still a religious extremist.
We already knew he wants to take away a woman's right to choose whether or not to continue a pregnancy.
Now we know he also wants to limit a woman's ability to choose whether or not to get pregnant in the first place.
Mike Huckabee is the modern Republican Party, and he's scary.
