Texas Congressman: Masturbating Fetuses Prove Need for Abortion Ban

[Warpy]

1. The brain structures for pleasure and pain

aren't there until the last month of gestation and even then, they're pretty blunted so the fetus can survive the trip down the birth canal without going into shock from the pressure.

What he's seeing is a spinal reflex loop, what will be a hand already with the grabbing reflex and any knob it comes into contact with will be grabbed. Withdrawal from noxious stimuli is another spinal cord loop reflex that we retain through life, our hands flying back from a hot iron before our brain registers the pain. Withdrawal in a fetus without pain centers in the brain is just that, a reflex action and not purposeful.

Of course, he's a dumb shit and rabid about controlling women, so even if a neonatologist has a long talk with him, none of it will register.

All we can do about these idiots is GOTV and try to throw them out of power forever.
