GOP Senator Likens Women To Wildlife In 'Ridiculous' Anti-Abortion Argument

Senior Reporter, HuffPostSen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) attracted ridicule this week after he compared women and fetuses to sea turtles, eagles and their eggs as he argued against a bill proposed by Democrats that would guarantee the right to abortion under federal law.According to Daines’ analogy, which was delivered on the Senate floor complete with a visual aid, the legislation would give fetuses fewer protections than turtle and eagle eggs.“If you were to take or destroy the eggs of a sea turtle, now I said the eggs. https://t.co/VTDibKS3tdI agree that women deserve as much if not even more protection than sea turtles.The party comparing abortion to sea turtle eggs shouldn’t be in charge of shit.Especially not my uterus.Steve Daines makes the dumbest argument of all time.Sea turtles & bald eagles are endangered species, humans are not.
