Hell, it's even working to gestate nonviable fetuses in brain-dead women:

How about for people who suffer a serious illness or accident after having their kids that ends their ability to support their families (which they could previously do)? Do you support starvation of those children because their parent or parents took a bad step on the ice? What's your position, Del? That's what happened to the couple in Kansas (the one in which the sperm donor is now obligated to pay child support because he and the women involved didn't follow state law when they did the artificial insemination).
i think it's called 'nonsensical'.
see, the gop is all about life-only for those not yet alive. once you're here, well..you're on your own.
you'd think people like huck would be all for the very things that have lead to lower abortion and pregnancy rates-but they fight birth control tooth and nail. and that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever! why would you be against the very thing you KNOW will prevent pregnancy?
but, hey, once that kid's born, too bad if mom is poor. she shouldn't have had that kid she couldn't afford. altho 'they' do say if you're pregnant you should absolutely have it, because life is sacred-unless it's poor life i guess.
