During a June 2013 Congressional hearing on banning abortion after 20 weeks, [U.S. Representative Michael Burgess (R-Texas)] said, "Watch a sonogram of a 15-week baby . . . If they're a male baby, they may have their hand between their legs. If they feel pleasure, why is it so hard to believe that they could feel pain?"
Texas Rep. Jody Laubenberg is responsible for this twisted variation on the Akin theory, as heard during the debate sparked by Wendy Davis' filibuster: "In the emergency room they have what’s called rape kits where a woman can get cleaned out. The woman had five months to make that decision, at this point we are looking at a baby that is very far along in its development."
In April, Texas Congressman Steve Stockman unveiled a catchy new campaign slogan on Twitter: "If babies had guns, they wouldn't be aborted."

Look, the government owns your vagina and womb. It is not your choice to make. Thanks.

Isn't masturbation a sin? Wouldn't they want the sin to be punished by death?

That's a great point. I'm going to write a letter to Mr. Burgess!

I don't know that a woman would like having a gun discharged while inside her womb.
That seems dangerous to her health.

this
A woman's preferences about what goes on in her womb are irrelevant. Anyone who thinks otherwise hates America.

Abortion is wrong though.
