MSNBC's Joy Reid claimed on Wednesday that Missouri "is a slave state as far as being a woman is concerned" and that pregnant women were "property" of their husbands in the state.
Addressing guest Claire McCaskill, a former US Senator from Missouri, Reid said, "And you've left off, Claire, that in your state, it's illegal for a pregnant woman to get an abortion. So, they've also gone after no-fault divorce. So, if you're pregnant and you're in a marriage with an abusive spouse, you can't even get a divorce once you become pregnant. You become the property of both your husband and the state. They have joint ownership of you in the state of Missouri. That is a slave state as far as being a woman is concerned, as far as I'm concerned."
