Huckabee takes clear Pro-Life positions. And by his account, his faith deeply influenced his policies on abortion. Under Huckabee, the state banned late-term abortion procedures and unsuccessfully challenged a federal rule requiring Medicaid coverage of abortions for rape victims. He supports constitutional amendments protecting life and marriage. Huckabee sees no separation between his religious and public life; he is a first amendment supporter. Huckabee is also a second amendment advocate and supports gun ownership. Huckabee's record as a crime fighter is mixed. Some are upset with the former governor of Arkansas because he has made some claims to having reduced crime. Newsweek has reviewed Huckabee's claims and takes issue with them. This appears to be something of a tempest in a teapot. Because the overall crime rate went down, Huckabee's claim is literally correct. However, the rate of violent crime went up slightly. When Huckabee became governor, Arkansas did not have a significant crime problem comparison with other states. When Huckabee left office, that was still the case. Huckabee's has received criticism for too often granting clemency to criminals as governor. He commuted the sentences of over a dozen killers and release a rapist who later killed a woman
