Why Governor Huckabee Won’t Vote For or Support Mitt Romney for President.
Caffeinated Thoughts ^ | 4/8/2012 | David Shedlock

Former Governors, Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee, were not best buds during the 2008 campaign. No one doubts that. But since Governor Huckabee decided not to run for president this time around, it seems as if they have fixed whatever ailed their relationship. Governor Romney has appeared on Huckabee’s show, and Huckabee regularly defends Romney against unfair attacks and appears even-handed even when he disagrees with Romney. That is all well and good, and demonstrates the good will and kind demeanor of both governors.

However, Romney’s position on the murder of unborn children has not changed since his official declaration in National Review in June of 2011 that he supports the killing of some unborn children:

I am pro-life and believe that abortion should be limited to only instances of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother.

On the other hand, Governor Huckabee has demonstrated over and over that not a single baby is expendable.

First, he wrote in 2010:

“We recognize that each life, every life, is unique and that the loss of one unique life diminishes each of us individually and collectively.... if we lose sight of the sanctity of human life, then we lose our soul.... That is why I will continue to fight, by every legal means available, for the protection of life – every life is a life worth fighting for.”

Second, Governor Huckabee hosted and his son David produced, the movie , and the former governor argued that “contempt and indifference toward any life can become contempt and indifference toward every life, including yours and mine.”

Third, Governor Huckabee gave one of the most powerful defenses of human life in a single political speech one might ever hear. He spoke about the concept of human equality at the 2010 Value Voters Summit:

Are you aware that the President appoints the USSC Justices?

And that Congress can take abortion out of the purview of the courts?

The Republican Establishment doesn’t want a nominee who is much different from Obama.

They support most of Obama’s positions.

The only thing the gop-e is interested in is having their club members get a chance to be in charge every now and then. They could give a rip about principles or ideology.

Before you meet your Maker in eternity, you anti-religious folks better get over your love for killing children.

Unborn children are not nits.
You said he could pick justices “who woul end federally approved abortion.” I would not count on it - he appointed lots of pro-abortion judges in Massachusetts.

You sure can count on Obama to pick Justices who would permit all abortions and some infanticides.
