Rubio compares the killing of Cecil the lion to abortion

[TJ in Oregon]

Rubio is not as thoughtful as I wish he would be. This one was an unforced error.

How is this an unenforced error exactly?  You do realize Rubio is running in the REPUBLICAN primary, not the primary of your new party.  Most Republican primary voters are repulsed by the Planned Parenthood videos.

Because it seems foolish, and I don't think Pub primary voters are in general foolish. Do you?

It seems more cliche than foolish to me anyway. This sort of "caring about animals vs caring about fetuses" comparison has been made exhaustively. This is really nothing new here.

Whatever opinion you have about abortion, it's hard to deny that this is clearly a cheap attempt to politicize news which should have nothing to do with politics.

Were you previously unaware that aborted fetuses are used in medical research, and have been for years?

Give me a break, this title reminds me of MSNBC.

Don't compare the life of a lion to the dignity & lives of millions of meaningful lives that should of and could of been.

It is wiser to compare positions on heated issues to principles better established. So what did Thomas Paine say of how to compensate slave owners for the loss of 'their' slaves?

He said, nothing -- because slaves are stolen property. Thieves and receivers of stolen property have no right to the property.

Well I guess we now have to criminalize any woman who gets her period. RIP Women

I'm actually surprised it took as long as it did for outrageous comments like these to come out. My friend's mother-in-law told her "[she didn't] care about Sandy Hook and subsequent calls for gun control because abortion is still legal in this country."

This holier-than-thou, "do as I say, not as I do," "you're incapable of making decisions" type of obsession over telling people what they can't do with their genitals and sexual health is frankly shy-making.
