In a better world, "crusading" candidates would have to live on the receiving end of their crusades.

Case in point, Mike Huckabee, who today is taking victory laps over the Federal courts upholding Texas pro-life laws, and the potential of closing abortion clinics across the state. He's also promising to "de-fund Planned Parenthood" if he wins.

So my fantasy would be that if Huckabee really wants to run on this platform, he'd have to go through a "Total Recall" moment. He'd receive an implant that, for the period of one month, would have him fully immersed in the mental state and reality of a woman carrying an unwanted child with no options.

Circumstances of the pregnancy really wouldn't be as important as the fact that during the 30 days, he wouldn't know he was Mike Huckabee.

But at the END of 30 days, when he became Mike Huckabee again, he would never lose the reality of his 30 day experience. In his consciousness, it would be a "memory" that he actually lived, and he would live with it for the rest of his life.

If he could do that and still have the courage of his convictions to vote for something like this, I might give him some props, instead of seeing him for what he really is...a detached asshole, playing to the base and pimping for votes at any expense.

1. Why just one month?

I'd be good with making it permanent for him.
