a state senator in virginia has compared women few
posts when they're pregnant this is our representative Steve Martin your state
senator Steve Martin I should say
and apparently he received a Valentine's Day card from
a reproductive rights organization and it purged him to change his boating
record when it comes to
reproductive rights in the state well he took great offense to this
and he wrote the following on his Facebook page I don't expect to be in
the room
or will I do anything to prevent you from obtaining a contraception however
once the child does exist in your womb
I'm not going to assume a right to kill it just because
a child host some refer to them as mother's doesn't want it
so when I saw this I thought wow what a
strange way of putting it right and and then
at an idea popped into my head it's because you have to understand in our
context
we view women and men as equals in
we don't have this vision like the biblical
vision on a sleepy day it literally in Genesis that says
Mankar God created women to be the helpers
up man right think they're not here to do anything but the server Matt
right I'll never grow up in that and it didn't go over that we don't understand
that right
but if you go up in that you might think well
okay a woman is not really relevant in fact for long periods in history whether
it was
in Islam or Christianity they were treated as property rate
but what is relevant is the unborn
because it might be a male okay
so that's why we never could understand why they care more about the cork or
unborn really care about the board one only care about the woman
because the reality is the woman is irrelevant in now mindset
in that world view but she is Robert as a whole host
because she could be carrying a valuable male now I know that if you didn't grow
up in that like me and it didn't write you really know all that sounds crazy
that can't be the case but but that's because you're not as bad as these guys
you're not sex is like these guys
you didn't grow up in that context that's why he says things like
you know she's valuable as a host yeah she's nothing more than a bath salts you
deliver
a baby and that's it hopefully email baby I look
these stories keep popping up and what always
interests me is how you get this push back from the right wing
when it comes to this war on women and look maybe not
raises something that makes everyone feel uncomfortable even progresses
but the reality is the reason why that was even calling in the first place
is because you keep getting statements like this well right but Republican
lawmakers
if they want people to stop using that phrase if they want the mentality to
change
toward the Republican Party the need to stop referring to women as hosts
or bezels or you know doing they need to stop doing things to get rid of
reproductive rights focus your attention on
other issues right so they can say that they care about the economy they care
about balancing the budget they care about creating jobs
focus on that in 2012 all they would focus ought was
legislation that would help feel the Coulter wars
so that's the reason why people keep saying that this is a war on women and
that's the reason why I say
that women who what republicans are absolute moron
because they're not looking out for you if you want to be submissive
if you believe that your only raw on this planet it to serve your husband and
to serve other men
the night go ahead in Boca republicans but the reality is
the Cuse second-class citizens they see you as a beso
they see you as a so-called post they're very we can clear and blunt about it
and if you're into that cool if you're not stop voting for these crazy people
he then changes pose to be fair to him and when he got in trouble by the way
and people like you know that's not a good way to refer to a woman is a
governor
yeah I kinda meant that I i do that does Joe B
a soda I he changed it to their the bearer of the child
I why would beg your ear is there are you not merciful
and then he really is like a semi apology let me read that to you he says
I don't see how
anyone could have taken it the wrong way you referred to her as a host
you it was me playing their argument back to them
obviously I consider pregnant women to be mothers but no
known liberal or progressive or pro-choice woman ever made the argument
that women are host
makes it sound like they're out to the movie alien but
what do you week nobody ever made that known you made that argument
by the way this guy was the former chairman
the senate education and Health Committee
in his state this is the guy we put in charge
love your help and education
