A very respectful discussion on abortion by two people who quite obviously disagree. I was actually impressed by both of them, as abortion discussions are so often heated and each side demonized by the other. Jon Stewart did make a good point at the beginning, though: neither Jon Stewart nor Mike Huckabee will ever be in the situation of having to decide to get an abortion or not. I have always had an issue with men having huge opinions on abortion and wanting to limit reproductive rights. It's like straight people deciding on gay marriage-- it doesn't affect their personal rights, so why do they care? It just strikes me as majorly off. Anyway, I think this discussion really comes down to treating the fetus as a person and treating the woman as a person. But maybe I'm being too harsh...
Okay, but you gotta admit it was great when Huckabee said (something to the effect of, "The Founding Fathers said, 'All people are created equal.'"
