"Marco Rubio: women with Zika should not be allowed abortions " - SteveG - 08-08-2016
You know, you can still contribute to his opponent's campaign.

Florida senator Marco Rubio has said women infected with the Zika virus should not be allowed to have abortions, even if their babies have microcephaly, the severe developmental disorder than can result from infection with the disease.

Rubio ran unsuccessfully for the Republican presidential nomination and only recently decided to run for re-election rather than give up public life. During the presidential campaign, he said he was opposed to abortion in all instances, including in cases of rape or incest.
“I understand a lot of people disagree with my view – but I believe that all human life is worthy of protection of our laws,” he said on Saturday. “And when you present it in the context of Zika or any prenatal condition, it’s a difficult question and a hard one. But if I’m going to err, I’m going to err on the side of life.”

His primary opponent, Carlos Beruff, is worse. He is a pure tea party, Trump disciple. The hope is for the Democrat in November, but that is a hard fight to win.

Carlos Beriff is being called a "Charlie Christ Republican". He and Charlie are big buddies.

“I understand a lot of people disagree with my view – but I believe that all human life - up until that that life is born and then after that, well, that's not my problem - is worthy of protection of our laws,” he said on Saturday.

I, of course, meant his Democratic opponent in November.

Sounds about right. Get the kid born and then look for all the reasons not to support the kid.

I can't believe this statement by Rubio! Of course a woman should have this option with no shame. Also in the case of rape and incest. If it was a daughter of mine I would strongly encourage an abortion in these cases.
