Sen. Marco Rubio called into Glenn Beck’s radio program today and reiterated his position that abortion ought to be outlawed, including in cases of rape or incest, predicting that within 100 years, people will look back on legal abortion with disbelief.
“I believe a human being is entitled to life, irrespective of the circumstances in which that human being was conceived and so forth,” the Florida Republican said. “Now I recognize that other people don’t hold that view and in order to save lives in this country, I have supported bills that had to have exceptions in them, and I know a lot of people who are pro-life but support exceptions because they feel it goes too far.”
“I personally feel very, very strongly that every human life is entitled to the protection of our laws,” he continued. “If we as a society start deciding which lives we’re going to protect and which lives we’re not, we’ve put ourselves on a very slippery, dangerous slope. I actually think in a hundred years or so, or less, future generations are going to look back at this time in history and say that it’s really unbelievable that so many unborn human beings, their lives were ended simply because they didn’t have a birth certificate, couldn’t hire a lawyer, didn’t vote, or we couldn’t see them yet.”
