'You’d expect to hear this offensive language in the ‘Handmaid’s Tale.''
Incoming Florida House Speaker José Oliva apologized for repeatedly referring to pregnant women as a"host body" during a CBS Miami interview that aired on Thursday.
Democratic state representative Anna Eskamani, who was a former Planned Parenthood director, tweeted,"With all due respect Mr. Speaker, my body is not a ‘host’ and personal medical decisions around my pregnancy belong to me, my family, my doctor, and my faith—not to politicians." Legislation filed by state Senator Dennis Baxley would prevent abortion once a fetal heartbeat had been detected.
The Missouri House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to ban most abortions if Roe v. Wade was overturned, according to the Associated Press.
