Steve Stockman on Abortion Former Republican Representative (TX-9)

AdWatch: If babies had guns, they wouldn't be aborted

• April 11: A tweet announced a new bumper sticker Stockman was offering donors: "If babies had guns, they wouldn't be aborted." And a day later: "Get the bumper sticker that liberals hate! One sticker for every $10."
• April 12: His opinions on ObamaCare and reproductive health: "Will abortion be the only medical procedure not wait-listed and rationed under ObamaCare?" Actually, it's worth noting that ObamaCare does not expand abortion access, and in some places has actually indirectly reduced it.
• July 8: The time he was dismissive of women who want control of their reproductive decisions: "Pro-abortionists scream 'uterus' because they're desperate to eliminate the innocent living human being from the discussion."
• July 8: His claim about liberals: "Conservatives see kids in poverty and want to find the family jobs. Liberals see kids in poverty and say they should have been aborted."
