Mike Huckabee kicks off what may be his 2016 presidential campaign with a speech that takes us to women’s libido. He says that Democrats think that women “are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the government.” It’s what he said. And he thinks it will get Republicans the women’s vote.
