Mike Huckabee: Democrats think women 'cannot control their libido'

“I think it’s time Republicans no longer accept listening to the Democrats talk about a 'war on women,'" Huckabee said during a speech at the Republican National Committee's winter meeting in Washington. "The fact is the Republicans don’t have a war on women, they have a war for women, to empower them to be something other than victims of their gender.” [...]

Huckabee said Democrats tell women “they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing them for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of government.”

He also said Republicans are fighting a war to empower women "to be something other than victims of their gender."


Unwanted pregnancy is the fault of the female libido? Last I checked it took both a man and a woman to produce a baby.

Huckabee will never see his own male privilege for what it is. He will also preach to women to "submit" to their husbands and we all know what that means.

And since right wing men are rarely ordered to control their libidos, that means there will always be a need for abortion, even on the sainted right. Especially on the sainted right.

riding to the rescue of all those who aren't fortunate enough to be Republicans.

If you're female, poor, gay, a minority, et cetera, have no fear! The Republicans are going to empower you by giving more power to themselves!

Democrats want people to be victims and it empowers people to stop discrimination, profiling, affirmative action etc...

The problem with that is we tried that for the first 200 yrs of the countries history and it didn't turn out all that great for woman or blacks. Why would any woman be fooled into going back to the 19th century vision of them? They wouldn't and if Mike thinks they will he can enjoy low polling numbers with woman and all other minorities because they aren't stupid.

You stupid creationist-believing gas bag.

Women are humans, and as such, have the right to health care and medications, just as men do for medical situations particular to them. But you can't see that, of course, because your religion teaches women to be doormats for jaysus.

You have to be really stupid to think Huckabee is about anything other than controlling women's reproductive capacity based upon his religious beliefs.

I'm optimistic that most women aren't that stupid.

One of the BEST THINGS that could happen for this nation is the rise of education and the drop in religiosity.

It is getting beyond creepy the extent to which old, white, Republican men talk about female's sex lives and reproductive organs.

And that is coming from a guy!

First of all, I pay for my insurance. My insurance never covered my pills before ObamaCare made it that they had to cover it. The government doesn't pay for it. I do. I pay enough per month that they should cover any and all prescriptions I need.

Second, I take BC pills for a reason that has nothing to do with Birth Control. As do many women in this country. Some of us have to regulate our periods. Why?? Because our body cannot do it on its own. So I HAVE to take the pill. I hate it. But it is something I live with on a daily basis.

So, GOP Pricks - Shut the Fuck Up!! You have no idea what it takes to be a woman or what we have to go through. Oh and my libido is just fine Mr Fuckabee. I find your idiocy and lack of intelligence when it comes to Women's Issues laughable. So please, Shut The Fuck Up!!
