Senator Marco Rubio likes to spend his weekends with his family either fishing aboard his “luxury” fishing boat in the Florida Keys, coaching his son’s football games, or simply throwing pillows at his TV set every time his beloved Miami Dolphins screw up during a game.
But this past weekend wasn’t so quiet for the football aficionado, as his comments to the Politico about the Zika virus and pregnant women rattled the cages of feminazis around the country.Rubio says an abortion is an abortion, regardless of whether you are infected with the Zika virus.
“I understand a lot of people disagree with my view – but I believe that all human life is worthy of protection of our laws. And when you present it in the context of Zika or any prenatal condition, it’s a difficult question and a hard one…”But if I’m going to err, I’m going to err on the side of life.”-Senator Marco Rubio

More from Rubio in the Politico:
Rubio has taken a leadership role in trying to prevent the spread of Zika. He became the first Republican to co-sponsor President Obama’s $1.9 billion Zika-fighting legislation, which was watered down by House Republicans after it passed the Senate. The legislation ultimately failed. Rubio points out that he voted for every Zika bill he could.“Obviously, microcephaly is a terrible prenatal condition that kids are born with. And when they are, it’s a lifetime of difficulties,” he said. “So I get it. I’m not pretending to you that that’s an easy question you asked me. But I’m prolife. And I’m strongly prolife. I believe all human life should be protected by our law, irrespective of the circumstances or condition of that life.”
The campaign of one of his Democratic Senate opponents, U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, pointed to that vote and said in a press release Saturday that “Rubio exploited the Zika crisis to attack women’s health funding and Planned Parenthood.”
Hey Marco, whose fault is it that pro-Zika legislation was not passed?
Democrats.
“The Planned Parenthood angle is something they basically made up to have a political reason not to pass Zika so they can come back in August and campaign on it,“ he said. “That’s what I mean by political volleyball. Both sides have played that game. I would have preferred the House just passed a clean funding bill and I’ll vote for that if it comes out.”
