Watch a sonogram of a 15-week baby, and they have movements that are purposeful. They stroke their face. 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?

They really need to just shut up now!

(63,263 posts)If they're studying video of a 15-week old fetus masturbating, and if a fetus is a fully realized human being, then it's clear that they're engaged in some prenatal voyeurism.
Has anyone alerted the FBI?

(24,776 posts)Burgess must really be a perv. He needs to be brought up on child, er, fetal porn charges and kicked the hell out of Congress.
While they're at it, the Feds ought to charge every teabagger with kiddie porn. They're a danger to women and children.

(1,799 posts)Seems like he's getting off on describing it. First off, has he ever seen the muscle control of an infant? (Let alone a fetus!) I'm not a doctor but from my experience aside from sucking, infants have very little physical ability to complete a task. It took awhile for my boys to figure out how to get their own thumb into their mouths on a regular basis.
Second there is something very sick about all of these people sitting around for 20 minutes imagining they're watching a fetus masterbate.
I'm pretty disgusted by this new method the GOP is using to attempt to further their war on women. And I don't believe it for a minute!
