At least he's not your legislator...or your gynecologist!

In Virginia, they got this wimmin's rights thing all figgered out!

A pregnant woman is just a "host" that should not have the right to end her pregnancy, Virginia State Sen. Steve Martin (R) wrote in a Facebook rant defending his anti-abortion views.

Martin, the former chairman of the Senate Education and Health Committee, wrote a lengthy post about his opinions on women's bodies on his Facebook wall last week in response to a critical Valentine's Day card he received from reproductive rights advocates.

"I don't expect to be in the room or will I do anything to prevent you from obtaining a contraceptive," Martin wrote. "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."

You're not even a mother anymore, ladies! Now you're just the "host." Sounds sci-fi, doesn't it?

  1. Doesn't that confirm that an unwanted pregnancy can be considered a parasite, like a tapeworm? Most people don't consider it unreasonable to dispatch a parasite with all haste. Man, he really stepped in that one and it's all over his shoes., 

  2. Some time ago, people were saying Orwell's 1984 had become a reality. I guess the GOP* is shooting for The Handmaid's Tale, now… 

     

    *Does not necessarily apply in Hawai'i. 🙂
