just when you thought the craziness from the republican whack a moles had stopped.
Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) said in a late-Monday night House Rules Committee hearing on a bill prohibiting abortions after 20 weeks that the procedure should be banned because even at as early as 15 weeks a male fetus "may have their hand between their legs" and "feel pleasure.""This is a subject that I do know something about,” said Burgess, a former OB/GYN, during the House hearing first reported by RH Reality Check. "There is no question in my mind that a baby at 20 weeks after conception can feel pain. The fact of the matter is, I argue with the chairman because I thought the date was far too late.We should be setting this at 15 weeks, 16 weeks.""Watch a sonogram of a 15-week baby, and they have movements that are purposeful,” Burgess continued. “They stroke their face. If they’re a male baby, they may have their hand between their legs. If they feel pleasure, why is it so hard to think that they could feel pain?"
the irony in all this willingness to be labeled a sex crazed idiot is none of this stuff goes to a legitimate reason for not having abortions just "that's what they believe".
you have to ask yourself do these people really believe what they say if so, they just blew their argument against education out of the water. second what about their base do they really believe or do they see it as them scoring a point against Pres.?
note how the warrior against women left them out so is he saying it's okay toabort a female?
