Oklahoma Lawmaker: Pregnant Women Are 'Hosts' Whose Bodies Don't Belong to Them

Women, you may think that the flesh that covers you and the organs and muscles and neurons that make you breathe and poop and eat are your own, but actually they are not. Oklahoma State Rep. Justin Humphrey can see how might “feel like that is” your body, but if you are pregnant, he regrets to inform you that your body is now a “host” and you are an interloping ghost that once used to inhabit it.

Pregnant women only exist as host organisms. Do you believe that, or do women have a right to their own lives?

 

[Henrin]

Is the unborns body her body? I believe my question is straight forward enough for a yes or no answer.

A person has no right to another person's body.

 

[Henrin]

A person has no right to another person's body.

That has nothing to do with my question. Is the unborn's body the mothers body? Yes or no.

 

[wolfman24]

Invasion of the body snatchers.

AAAAAHHHHHH

 

[rocket88]

That has nothing to do with my question. Is the unborn's body the mothers body? Yes or no.

You have yet to answer mine. I asked first.

 

[SDET]

Tell that to the woman callous enough to kill her own child.

 

[Henrin]

You have yet to answer mine. I asked first.

I believe getting upset at calling pregnant women hosts is absurd.

Do I believe pregnant women only exist as a host? No, I do not.

Now, can you answer my question please?

 

[JANFU]

That has nothing to do with my question. Is the unborn's body the mothers body? Yes or no.

No...

 

[Groogrux]

Is the unborns body her body? I believe my question is straight forward enough for a yes or no answer.

Yes, that's why she can do with it as she pleases.

 

[Henrin]

Yes, that's why she can do with it as she pleases.

So do human being not get their own body until birth?

 

[Groogrux]

So do human being not get their own body until birth?

Until they can live independently without relying on its mother's body, yes.

 

[Henrin]

Until they can live independently without relying on its mother's body, yes.

So you don't have you own body until you can live on your own independent of your mother? Where are you getting your science from exactly?

And this is where I object to the extreme right end of the political spectrum.

I mean, WTF? What possible positive value could such a ridiculous and antagonistic statement have? :roll:

Really dude. Get a grip.

Henrin, you can attempt to "Aha!" me all night long with terminology and definitions. Until a fetus, or whatever you chose to call it, can survive outside of it's mother's body, mom's rights trump that of fetus.

There is nothing wrong with the comment. A pregnant woman is a host and what she is acting on is not her body alone.

 

[Skeptic Bob]

Meh. If you want to call a pregnant woman a host that is fine with me. Of course the thing about being a host is if you want to stop being a host...you can.

 

[eohrnberger]

There is nothing wrong with the comment. A pregnant woman is a host and what she is acting on is not her body alone.

Meh. Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that she's a mother? A mother of the unborn child or children?
Calling the mother a 'host' just seems to too cold and clinical to me.

 

[Henrin]

No. With the term mother you get into the whole "it has to be born for that term to be accurate" debate.

 

[Deuce]

So you don't have you own body until you can live on your own independent of your mother? Where are you getting your science from exactly?

It's not a scientific question to begin with.

 

[Henrin]

It's not a scientific question to begin with.

:lamo Of course it is.

 

[Deuce]

:lamo Of course it is.

Ownership isn't a scientific concept. "Who owns the body" would be a philosophical question.

 

[Henrin]

Ownership isn't a scientific concept. "Who owns the body" would be a philosophical question.

Sorry, but the fact is people have bodies. :lol: That fact alone has nothing to do with ownership.

 

[danarhea]

That has nothing to do with my question. Is the unborn's body the mothers body? Yes or no.

Not if a rapist created it. In that case, it's an invasive parasite that she can get rid of if she wants to.

So a rapist sperm doesn't help create human life, but a parasite? Ummmm...ok.
