Good riddance to an anti-choice top 0.00000001% asshole [View all]
Jon Huntsman is not some cute cuddly liberal being rebuffed by the mean-ole Republican party.
He is an anti-choice heir to billions who wants to be president for some reason.
He was the GOVERNOR OF UTAH. Think that through. He's not some cool moderate pranking the Republican party. He is moderate by the standards of Republican Governors of Utah.
Fuck the guy.

Huntsman told the audience that there should be no truce on abortion when it comes to balancing social and economic issues. "I do not believe the Republican party should focus only on our economic life--to the neglect of our human life,"he said. "That is a trade we should not make. If Republicans ignore life, the deficit we will face is one that is much more destructive. It will be a deficit of the heart and of the soul."
Saying he "supported and signed every pro-life bill" he received, he talked about how he signed a trio of pro-life bills in February 2009 that the Utah legislature approved. Hunstman told the crowd, "I signed the bill that made second-trimester abortions illegal, and increased the penalty for doing so. I signed the bill to allow women to know the pain an abortion causes an unborn child. I signed the bill requiring parental permission for abortion. I signed the bill that would trigger a ban on abortions in Utah if Roe v. Wade was overturned."
