Save the masturbating fetuses

In a preview of the many pronouncements to come on the floor of Congress as the House debates a legislative ban on all abortions after 20 weeks, allow us to introduce you to Rep. Michael Burgess (R-Texas), who believes that abortion should be banned earlier than the Supreme Court says it should because, in part, he knows fetuses feel pain. He knows this because he says he's seen male fetuses begin masturbating in the womb around 15 weeks into a pregnancy.

LMAO! Surely that will inspire some even-more-fucked-up fundie to say any fetus masturbating is obviously demon spawn = abortion via exorcism, approved!  :P

A fetus begins to get a grasping reflex around 14-15 weeks. The little buggers will grab hold of anything they can reach. It's not masturbation.

Also, how does he know they're male? Sex is near impossible to tell before 20 weeks.

a) Ewww.

b) I do not believe this claim.

c) IF someone gives me any real evidence that that supports this claim it is simply further evidence that the world is a weird and creepy place.

No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Color me unsurprised that the one thing remotely close to a fully fledged human that they could empathize with was a masturbating fetus!

In other news, fundies will literally say ANYTHING to try and prove their point.
Still can't think of a signature a year later.

Um... can they even TELL what gender the fetus is at that stage? O.o Also, if children don't feel sexual urges (with the rare, sad exceptions), then what the fuck makes this moron think that a fucking FETUS would??

Good news. The claim is false, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, a professional association for OB/GYNs.

I just got an email from a women's rights group saying this passed the House. Is that true? Please tell me they're sadly mistaken...

Oh somebody with 'shop skills...this begs for thought balloons. Rep. Burgess is the meat in the middle of this fuckwit sandwich.

Is it not normal for children to feel sexual urges then?

Kids do have puppy-like sexual urges and get crushes and w/e starting at late toddler to four or five. It's a normal result of development. Nothing to feel squeamish about, but I think our heightened awareness and fear of pederasts makes people feel uncomfortable regarding anything remotely sexual in nature in re children. Very understandable.
