Anti-Abortion Ads That Make the Rude Pundit Want to Stab His Computer Screen

Young Marco Rubio, he of the dry mouth and bat-wing ears, may be marginally less skeevy than the cock-nosed, cold-hearted Canadian, Ted Cruz, or slightly more sincere than the febrile snake oil salesman, Donald Trump. But he is, without a doubt, just as much of a shit-bit as either of the two leading Republicans.

As the Rude Pundit has previously noted, Rubio put out one ad with his head talking against a black backdrop about how much he loves hisself some Jeebus with a capital goddamn J. Now, never one to let a good hategasm go un-ejaculated, Rubio has put out an anti-abortion ad in Iowa just in time for the 43rd anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. Obnoxiously titled "Life," the ad shows the Rubio head talking about not abortin' the babies:

One thing sticks out in this plea to the evangelicals of the Iowa GOP to love him. It ain't when Rubio says that he wants to limit abortions, especially "those late-term abortions where children who are viable outside the womb are still being killed," even though that's buying into an extremist conspiracy theory about the incredibly rare late-term abortion. And it ain't when the ad ends with Rubio surrounded by his own litter of children, showing that he's a virile man capable of impregnating his wife multiple times (although it's unclear how helpful it is for Rubio to show that he is causing the number of Hispanics to rise in the country).

No, what really sticks out is this line: "If I have to make a choice, I am going to choose life." See, that's the end of the fucking argument. If you have a choice and you make a choice, you are pro-choice. You can't be anti-choice and say that there is a choice. One you choose, whether you choose "life" or choose to have an abortion, you can't then say, "But I'm against choice." Fuck you. If you get to choose, so does everyone else. Marco Rubio is pro-choice. He says so himself. -

1. He doesn't have a uterus.

He isn't an obstetrician or a gynecologist.

He shouldn't be legislating anything pertaining to females.

[Major Nikon]

2. If that were true then we should have at least two sets of legislators

...and probably more than that since many people don't clearly fall into one gender.

Bachmann and Palin were born with a womb, and in neither case does the plumbing they were born with make them inherently more qualified to make decisions for others, regardless of gender. There's also no shortage of legislators who happened to be born with a penis that are on the right side of this issue.

3. Fuck Rubio.

Can you get like a 170th trimester abortion? If so, I think his mother should go for it.

6. I've been wondering where meegbear has gone, too.

Maybe taking a break til primary season ends? (I hope that's all)

Thanks for all you do here, eridani! DU just wouldn't be the same without you (and so many others who also make sure that this community remains well-informed)

7. If men were the ones who got pregnant

there would be an abortion clinic on every street corner.

8. Or, as Gloria Steinem once said, IIRC,

abortion would be a sacrament.
