TYT: Women Aren't Women; They're 'Hosts' Says Republican



"A Virginia senator who callously summed up pregnant women as "hosts" carrying unborn babies is under fire after his controversial Facebook rant against a pro-choice coalition.

Republican Steve Martin backpedaled on his use of the word Monday after publicly slamming a Valentine's Day card sent to him by the Virginia Pro-Choice Coalition that argued for a range of health care, including abortions.

"All women deserve access to their full range of reproductive health options — including preventing unintentional pregnancies, raising healthy children, and choosing safe, legal abortion," the letter allegedly sent by the Virginia Pro-Choice Coalition read."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.

Yeah, pregnant women are hosts because the unborn fetus is a PARASITE which uses her body for it's existence. He can look in a simple dictionary for that definition. The "parasite" in all forms cannot live without a host.

Seems like a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.

What a creepy freak.

I'm sure his wife (or any future wife), loves being called a "host"...let's see how much sex he gets after that statement!
