At a congressional hearing on an abortion bill that would ban the procedure after 20 weeks of pregnancy, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) “told a female witness that she should have carried her pregnancy to term even though doctors had discovered the fetus had no brain function,” the Huffington Post reports.
Said Gohmert: “Having my great sympathy and empathy both, I still come back wondering,
shouldn’t we wait, like that couple did, and see if the child can
survive before we decide to rip him apart?”
