In media ‘circus,’ fetus called to ‘testify’ before Ohio lawmakers

In a move critics have attacked as a "circus" for the media, a nine-week-old fetus is set to "testify" in favor of a bill in Ohio that would outlaw abortions as soon as doctors can detect the first heatbeat.

Janet (Folger) Porter, President of Faith2Action, claimed that the fetus will be the "youngest ever to testify."

"For the first time in a committee hearing, legislators will be able to see and hear the beating heart of a baby in the womb -- just like the ones the Heartbeat Bill will protect," she said in a statement.

2. I think that
obsessive fetus worship, (especially when they have absolutely no compassion for those already born) should be a clinical diagnosis in the DSM. Maybe, perhaps, we could then find a treatment or a cure.

Yup ... madness has come to roost and rule!
