Ok ladies- Get ready to be pissed off.
Via Salon:
Virginia Republican says pregnant women are “hosts,” even if some people “refer to them as mothers”
State Sen. Steve Martin posted the comment on his Facebook page in response to a message about abortion care
A pregnant woman is just a “host” for a fetus, according to Virginia state Sen. Steve Martin.
The Republican legislator representing Virginia’s 11th district made the comment in response to a Valentine’s Day card from a reproductive rights group calling on him to protect reproductive health options in the state.
“I don’t expect to be in the room or will I do anything to prevent you from obtaining a contraceptive,” Martin wrote on Facebook. “However, once a child does exist in your womb, I’m not going to assume a right to kill it just because the child’s host (some refer to them as mothers) doesn’t want it.”
Martin went on to call reproductive rights advocates “sick people.”
