Are these Republican woman-haters trying to look ridiculous on purpose? Now they have started calling fetuses as witnesses:
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A fetus has been scheduled as a legislative witness in Ohio on a unique bill that proposes outlawing abortions after the first heartbeat can be medically detected. Faith2Action, the anti-abortion group that has targeted Ohio to pilot the measure, called the in-utero witness the youngest to ever come before the House Health Committee at 9 weeks old. . . An aide to committee Chairman Lynn Wachtmann said a pregnant woman will be brought before the committee and an ultrasound image of her uterus will be projected onto a screen. The heartbeat of the fetus will be visible in color.
Congratulations, Ohio, you won the stupidity contest this week. And it's only Tuesday.
I wonder what the poor fetus will be able to bear witness to. Besides the Republicans' stupidity, of course.

It's because a fetus would be more intellectually engaging than most Republicans.
LOL LOL
Funny but true.
Also kind of sad.
Shouldn't all fetuses be given credit cards so that they can start consuming as soon as possible?
Aw shucks - Ohio can win the stupid contest any day it chooses.

Yep, Mr. Orange (aka John Boehner) is a native Ohioan. The previous governor was pretty cool, though. Maybe that's why he lost the re-election campaign.
Yeah - we wouldn't want to present any evidence that the fetus is in fact alive. That would be detrimental to the cause.
The fetus is as "alive" as my heart, liver, or any other body part is.
You cannot admit that the baby is alive, because that would destroy your argument. It's that simple.
Which baby, Patrick? And, most importantly, which argument? That fetuses shouldn't be called as witnesses? Or some other argument? There wasn't really any argument in this post. Just the quote.
