MARK LEVIN ON ‘ANCHOR BABIES:’ THE LEFT PREFERS ‘ANCHOR FETUSES’

Conservative radio host Mark Levin says the use of the phrase “anchor babies” is inappropriate, since the left would prefer the term “anchor fetuses.”

“I think it’s an inappropriate term,” Levin said while a guest on WMAL’s Mornings on The Mall. “I don’t mean to shock you, but if you’re a liberal and you’re politically correct it should be ‘anchor fetuses’.”

“Because remember, they are not babies until they’re born,” he continued. “So I don’t even know why we’re talking about babies here. You know, they fund Planned Parenthood, they believe in harvesting their organs. So if you are a liberal the proper term should be ‘anchor fetus.’”
