31 JAN 2019 AT 12:56 ET
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee on Thursday tried to claim that it would be scientifically incorrect to call fetuses part of womens bodies, despite the fact that they are located within womens 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 mothers 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 womens health and to give them control over their own bodies.
At this point, Huckabee angrily interjected.

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.

(5,995 posts)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).
