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?

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.,
Some legislators would like us to be the hostess with the mostest! (future workers/voters/drones – some call them "babies")……
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…
