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 Virginias 11th district made the comment in response to a Valentines Day card from a reproductive rights group calling on him to protect reproductive health options in the state.
I dont 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, Im not going to assume a right to kill it just because the childs host (some refer to them as mothers) doesnt want it.
Martin went on to call reproductive rights advocates sick people.

-especially if the host is poor, and has to go on welfare and/or food stamps.
