(2,529 posts)This means he's a complete idiot in my book. The Personhood movement is all about outlawing most forms of artificial birth control including the Pill, the IUD, the morning after pill, all abortions including those that threaten the mother's life and are caused by rape or incest. No chemotherapy would be allowed for pregnant women with malignancies and some of the more fanatical factions of the movement are even against the idea of terminating ectopic pregnancies, which are never salvageable and a life-threatening condition to the mother. This is inexcusable in someone that used to be an OB/GYN. And it tells me that he is in no way a libertarian. No libertarian would advocate a nationwide prohibition on the major forms of birth control that have been used by over 90% of American women. He's an ass crazy extremist and needs to be committed. But, then, being ass crazy seems to be a pre-requisite to being a contender for the Republican presidential nomination these days. God, I need a drink. Preferably, shot glasses stacked to the ceiling.
