She used that phrase in a public, political forum, and Fox merely echoed that. Certainly there are words and phrases that we should view as unspeakable, even if those within a group use it freely amongst themselves. However, I do not feel that the "my baby's daddy/mommy" can be said to be remotely on par with those words and phrases.
