After promoting a radical foreign policy agenda abroad, likely 2012 GOP presidential candidate Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AK) is heading back home to promote his radical domestic agenda. Huckabee has agreed to keynote a dinner on February 15 for Heroic Media, a Texas-based, conservative Christian group that creates “a Culture of Life through television, billboard and internet advertising which connects women in crisis with life-affirming pregnancy centers.” According to the press release obtained by The Florida Independent, Heroic claims its media strategy directly contributed to a 20 percent drop in the abortion rate in certain media markets:

Join Gov. Mike Huckabee and Heroic Media for “An Evening of Hope” in Orlando, Tuesday, February 15, 1011 at the Rosen Shingle Creek, 9939 Universal Blvd. (map). This dinner benefits Heroic Media — placing positive, life-affirming television commercials, billboards and Internet in Florida. Ken Mikesell, host of TV 45’s “Good Life” will serve as Master of Ceremonies, First Baptist Church of Orlando Pastor David Uth will open the evening in prayer and we’ll have a special presentation by George W. Bush impersonator John Morgan.<...>

This dinner benefits Heroic Media, a faith-based non-profit that places advertisements to help women facing unexpected pregnancies find hopeful alternatives. In markets where our commercials have consistently aired, the abortion ratio has dropped more than 20 percent! Your evening will include dinner, remarks from Gov. Mike Huckabee, and many other highlights to inspire your guests.

What is Heroic’s media strategy? Founder Brian Follet has said Planned Parenthood is committing genocide. “Genocide is a strong word, but it’s something like that,” he said. Heroic purchased top listings on search engines like Google to direct teens searching the words “abortion,” “I think I’m pregnant,” or “terminate pregnancy” to its partner website Teenbreaks.com where desperate girls find information about abortion, adoption, and “cutting.” Cutting — “because self-mutiliation has everything to do with handling an unplanned pregnancy.”

2. Funny, Senator George Bush supported PP for almost that very reason.

Back when Republicans had enough sense to know that no black person would ever vote for them Sen. Bush was a very vocal supporter of PP and believed they were needed to keep black populations low.

3. Does Huckabee want PP to discriminate against African-American women?
