Republicans: what do you think about what Huckabee said recently in a speech about birth control?

Asked by JLeslie (65418points) January 24th, 2014

WTH?! Has Huckabee lost his mind? I really need to go back to not watching politics.

He said, “If the Democrats want to insult women by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it,” he said. “Let us take this discussion all across America because women are far more than the Democrats have played them to be.”

Control their libido? That is the stupidest sentence. Who is he talking to? Aren’t most voters married? Is a married Republican man actually going to agree that his wife needs birth control because she can’t control her libido? If Huckabee was trying to say he doesn’t want to pay for free birth control, he should have just stopped there.

Do you agree he is an idiot for talking about a woman’s libido and not being in control? Don’t we want women to control and plan births? With the exception of people who for religious reasons don’t follow this idea, which is an incredibly small percentage of people.
