PERRspectives: Huckabee: Wives Must "Graciously Submit" to Husbands

PERRspectives: Huckabee: Wives Must "Graciously Submit" to Husbands

"This was not the best of weeks for once and possible future GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. First, the Fox News host doubled-down on his "Uncle Sugar" charge that the Affordable Care Act's conception coverage mandate showed that Democrats believe women "cannot control their libido or reproductive system without the help of the government," only to be reminded that as Arkansas governor he signed even broader legislation in 2005. Making matters worse, in his new book Huckabee's fellow Baptist and GOP Congressman Steve Pearce (R-NM) proclaimed that wives should "voluntarily submit" to the husbands. As it turns out, that's pretty much the same language Governor Huckabee used in a 1998 full page ad in USA Today."
