The Daily Show host Sarah Silverman was not impressed with former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum’s choice of phrase as he commented on the news that Ohio had voted to enshrine abortion rights into the state constitution.
Ms Silverman questioned Mr Santorum’s use of the word “sexy” to describe abortion.
During her show on Wednesday, Ms Silverman played a clip of the former senator speaking on NewsMax following the results of the off-year elections.
“They’re looking to rebrand it, but personally, I think they should be forced to carry this phrase to term,” Ms Silverman joked.
