No Mr. Dawkins. Mike Huckabee demonstrates his Christian faith-based morality is truly Just and rational.
The moral decision is indeed simple. A raped 10-year-old does indeed suffer, by cause of the rapist, if anyone deserves to be killed it is him, the child conceived in the rape is not responsible. You would compound the suffering of that young girl with unimaginable guilt by having her partake of the unjust, irrational killing of her own innocent child; demonstrating how truly loathsome your atheist-based "morality" can be.
Please, for once be consistent. In that atheist-based "morality" of yours there is "no purpose, no evil and no good"— you came from a blob of bacteria no different from e coli, a product of nothing but blind, pitiless indifference, and to that blob you will return. Everything in between is random and meaningless; including your sanctimonious moral outrage.

A perfect example why someone like Fuckabee should never hold public office, especially POTUS.
Some of his actions while governor in AR clearly show this.
I haven't read the entirety of the quote where you extract ...here is "no purpose, no evil and no good" but I would wager he was referring to a Higher Purpose.
Why can't you tards realize that you can be good and moral without the belief and fear of your Sky Pixie?
The moral decision is simple - a 10 year old is not ready mentally or biologically to be a mother. The moral thing to do is to protect her life - not a clump of cells.
". You would compound the suffering of that young girl with unimaginable guilt by having her partake of the unjust, irrational killing of her own innocent child;"
Or maybe it would be compounded by her dying.
Would that make you change your mind about being anti-choice beccaj?
No, because you are a sociopath.

Fundies don't get the notion of empathy - of people wanting the best for each other NO MATTER if there is a Higher Power or not.
They keep insisting there HAS to be a Higher Purpose laid down by a Higher Power because *only* if that's the case is there any *point* to the idea of 'being moral', since, to them, 'being moral' means 'obeying the commands of the Higher Power'.
$10 says that if Huckabee had a 10 year old daughter who was pregnant from a rape he'd be first in line at the abortion clinic.

Not if you tell her that it's something which needs to be done and a necessary evil, if need be. You don't have to harangue her with accusations of murdering her unborn baby like you do all the women at the abortion clinic.
42 years has Roe vs. Wade existed, with infinite chances for Repubican administrations to repeal such.
But no.
And you dare talk about 'Consistency'...?!
Mike Fuckabee was very 'consistent' in his support for Josh Buggar, seeing as they both sing from the same hymn sheet; have the same morals. Fuckabee is very conspicuous by his absence after Buggar admitted he'd been a member of Ashley Madison.
Yep. That's consistency. [/hyper-sarcasm]
Abortion has nothing to do with penalty. It’s simply removing a burden that she is not capable of taking care of. How do you know that the child will never regret her or his birth? What if she or he commits suicide? What if she or he will feel bad for putting her or his young mother through so much stress? You don’t know, so abortion is morally neutral.
As for your next paragraph
you need to be aware that atheists are not inherently amoral. Secularists actually have moral autonomy, whereas religious people theoretically have no such autonomy. A secular atheist has the liberty to classify anything as good or wrong as she pleases. She assigns meaning and purpose where it makes sense.
You are but dust, and to dust you shall return.
Mike Huckabee relies on populist rhetoric to stir up support in order to chase the money and power; this latest attempt to appeal to the misplaced emotive stance of conservatives is just the latest tactic in his attempts to succeed. The Bible warns you against such characters, so it is unbecoming to consider his Christian based morals as just and rational.
If he truly cared about such matters he'd support better sex education and healthcare for women, including rape victims, but this goes against his ethos, so it seems that any claim of compassion for the victim is false. If he, or you, cared you would spend less time focusing on punishing the woman.
A foetus feels nothing.
A ten year old, everything.
The moral choice is so stupendously simple and obvious I literally cannot fathom your inability to see it.
So...you really don't understand that there's an actual difference between a ten year old and a month-old embryo unwillingly conceived through rape or incest in that ten year old's body.
Okay.
That's a good reason not to allow you to make decisions for other people.
Oh, I certainly agree that anybody who rapes a 10 years old ought to die, but that's the only thing in here that isn't just downright disgusting. Really, you want to compound the suffering of that young girl BY HER DYING IN CHILDBIRTH? Which, yes, is going to happen, because a 10 year old body is not physically ready to give birth! Not to mention the unimaginable pain it you bring her to carry her rapist's child.
Sure, the moral decision IS indeed simple - a 10 year old girl is a living person, one who feels pain and suffers and ALSO HAS THE RIGHT TO HER OWN BODY, and fetus is not yet a person, does not suffer and does not have the right to SOMEBODY ELSE'S body. And also - who the fuck thinks a 10 year old should be forced to continue a pregnancy? What the fuck is wrong with you?
A foetus is not a child.
Also, Fuckabee is a huckster.
@Prince Charmless
I don't even agree with that, being an opponent of capital punishment.
Confused?
