Huck: Obama 'most pro-abortion' pres.

In voicing his opposition to President Barack Obama’s bid to overhaul the nation’s health care system, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee charged on Wednesday that Obama is the “most pro-abortion president in U.S. history

.”

“His position on this issue is far beyond most of the people in his own party. Most of the Democrats don’t support partial-birth abortion, he does. Most Democrats don’t support late-term abortion, he does,” the unsuccessful 2008 Republican presidential contender said in a Web video — "Health Care Reform = Elective Abortions" — posted on his political action committee’s website.

Huckabee said he opposes current health care legislation because of provisions “that guarantee that part of what will be covered will be elective abortions.”

“This is troubling to me,” Huckabee said. “I don’t want my tax dollars paying for the taking of the life of an unborn and perfectly innocent human being. That’s exactly what’ll happen.”

“There is almost no person I can think of in an elected position who has had a more radical view of liberalized abortion policies than Barack Obama,” Huckabee added.

The former governor also used the video to hit his main GOP rival, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, for instituting a universal health care program in his state.

“The Massachusetts model has been a total disaster,” Huckabee said. “It’s been a disaster from a financial standpoint, [and is] about to bankrupt that state.”

Huckabee added that “one of the most disturbing” aspects of the plan Romney instituted is that “it gives people the opportunity to have an abortion for a $50 co-pay.”

“That’s all that a human life is worth now in Massachusetts, $50,” Huckabee said.
