It has been obvious to me all along, as in for the last 40 years I have been following abortion as a political issue, and I have told anyone who asked my opinion, which is that this is not and has never been about babies, fetuses, zygotes at all. It's not even about sex, primarily: the abortion issue for the right is about controlling women and restoring them to their historically pregnant and dependent status. This is why birth control is next on the agenda. Pregnancy is a medical condition. Historically, when women have had no ability to control pregnancy, they were subject to this medical condition for long stretches of their lives, preventing work, education and basic autonomy.

Mike Huckabee needs to wake up covered in papercuts and then find his house has somehow been flooded with lemon juice which he has to wade through in order to escape. At which point he should also discover that his grandkids have spilled lego all over the house, and it doesn't float.
