Mike Huckabee threatens actual war on women … with troops to stop abortions

If Mike Huckabee becomes president, he will consider using all available resources to stop abortions in the US – including a domestic military intervention.
At a succession of campaign stops this week, the former Arkansas governor said he would violate a landmark supreme court ruling to accomplish his goal of ending abortion.
“I will not pretend there is nothing we can do to stop this,” Huckabee said at one stop in Iowa.
The Rolling Stone reporter Matt Taibbi pressed Huckabee at the next campaign stop, asking if he would use the national guard or the FBI to stop abortions. Huckabee responded: “We’ll see, if I get to be president.”

But during press questions at the campaign stop, Huckabee said he would invoke the fifth and 14th amendments to protect what he believes to be humans. The fifth amendment protects against trial without jury and ensures the due process of law; the 14th addresses citizenship and the rights of citizens.
