Right-wing Texas lard-butt Rep. Michael Burgess raises self-parody to a new level by explaining why fetuses are just like us:
“Watch a sonogram of a 15-week baby, and they have movements that are purposeful,” said Burgess, a former OB/GYN. “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?”
