Wow. Flunked Biology in high school, eh?

"When a physician removes a child from a woman, that is the largest organ in a body. That's a big thing. That's a big surgery. You don't have any other organs in your body that are bigger than that."
—Alabama state Rep. Mary Sue McClurkin, supporting legislation that would impose restrictions on abortion clinics

I think by definition a fetus might be closer to a parasite than an organ, but I don't have the time to dive through dictionaries and Wikipedia right now.

On a totally different note, I spent some time reading about Polydactyly. Wow, the x-rays on Wikipedia are quite interesting. Very glad that my birth defect didn't take that form!

I don't even know what to say. I need a brick wall to bang my head against for a while. Maybe then I will understand.

I'm very conflicted about this one. Could she really be this ignorant, or is she just assuming everyone else is?

It's only surgery if you deliver by Caesarian. Also, legal abortion doesn't have to be one where you cut a woman open. There could just be a pill to cause a miscarriage. Whomever invents that will be very rich.
