Mike Huckabee shares his 'science' facts on Fox News: A fetus is 'not a part of a woman's body'

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee on Thursday tried to claim that it would be scientifically incorrect to call fetuses part of women’s bodies, despite the fact that they are located within women’s wombs and are attached to the woman through an umbilical cord.

During a debate on Fox News’ “Outnumbered” about a newly proposed law in Virginia that would reduce the number of doctors necessary to sign off on a woman getting a late-term abortion, Democratic panelist Jessica Tarlov tried to explain to Huckabee that such procedures were only approved in cases where a mother’s health was in danger or where the fetus itself was either going to die shortly after leaving the womb or was being born with severe deformities.

Tarlov also argued that these bills were needed to protect women’s health and to give them control over their own bodies.

At this point, Huckabee angrily interjected.

9. So, a fetus is like an independant nation inside a woman's body ...

10. Hmm . . . wonder if he things a transplanted kidney, or heart, or liver

are distinct human beings?

Those organs are located in a body with which they do not share the same DNA. They could not survive independently. That seems to be his criteria for fetuses to be distinct human beings.

11. So whose permission will be needed to remove a tumor?

By his argument it isn't a part of a woman's body and her health or mental well being isn't the paramount issue.

Heaven forbid any females in his family are diagnosed with breast cancer. After 20 weeks they'll have to carry it to term(inal).

That his own daughter was "NOT" part of her mother's body, though attached to her, feeding off her via the umbilical cord?
