TYT: Rubio Wants Abortion Banned With No "Life Of The Mother” Exceptions

[WhoIsNumberNone]

There’s some disagreement on how Marco Rubio did in last week’s debate. He appeared to backpedal when Megyn Kelly asked him about his position on abortion bans in cases where the mother’s life is in danger. John Iadarola (Think Tank), Ben Mankiewicz (Turner Classic Movies), and Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show Podcast), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down on tonight’s TYT Power Panel. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Florida Sen. Marco Rubio argued with Fox News debate moderator Megyn Kelly Thursday on his record on abortions, claiming he does not actually support exceptions to an abortion ban in cases of rape or incest...

“If you believe that life begins at conception, which you do, how do you justify ending a life just because it begins violently through no fault of the baby?” Kelly asked Rubio during the debate.

Rubio responded by saying he’s not sure Kelly had a “correct assessment of my record.” When pressed on whether or not he favors the exceptions, he said he has never supported or advocated for them.”*

1. Sorry, medical science knows how to save your life...

(or your wife's, daughter's, mother's, sister's) but it's illegal. You've had a good 22 years---- BYE.

2. So Senator. If your wife were suffering an ectopic pregnancy,

would you refuse her an abortion to save her life? By the way, there is no chance the embryo could survive outside the uterus.

5. well, of course he would want the exception for HIS woman--just like frothy mix.

8. Of course. It was rhetorical

The rules are always different for them.

I'd pay someone my next retirement check if that someone would just ask Marco or any of them that question. The tap dance would be worthily of Gene Kelly.

[niyad]

9. I think your next check is safe.

[sarge43]

10. I'm sure you're right.

Our media doesn't even pitch soft balls; it walks the ball around the bases for these clowns.

3. Rubio is an idiot

[Warpy]

4. Rubio wants women to DIE

should be the only counter to this nonsense.

Ignorant, Jesus addled politicians have NO BUSINESS MAKING MEDICAL DECISIONS FOR ANYONE.

6. as margaret and helen said, "no vaginas onstage, but a whole lot of talk about vaginas."

7. Remarks like this and Walker's similar line

Are going to make excellent ads in the general. Keep talking, boys.

11. Ban Rubio, with no exceptions!
