Men, Pervs Even in the Womb... wait what?

Oooook now.  So men think about sex a lot right?  From the moment erections lead to touching themselves and it starting to feel pleasurable, it's pretty much downhill yes?  (If I'm wrong say something, I don't have a penis so I can only go by what I hear.) Well according to Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Texas it starts way WAY sooner than that... like... as young as 15 weeks... in the womb. Yes... according to this douche canoe, male fetuses as young as 15 weeks start masturbating... see what he says for yourself if you're as dumbfounded as I am... riiggghhhhhttttt here.  <-clicky

According to Mr. Burgess, abortion should be limited to 15 weeks because male fetuses have supposedly been observed making motions with their little teeny hands between their legs in a "purposeful" motion.  He says therefore, they obviously feel pleasure, so they should therefore feel pain as well.

You know what's even scarier??  This dude used to be an OB-GYN! Has he ever even looked at an ultra-sound before?  I haven't seen one in person, but I've seen pictures, and those things are blurry as hell!!  It's not like watching a movie on an HD tv, the images are quite blurry and hard to make out.  How the hell can they be so sure the hands are BETWEEN the legs and not say.. to the side of the legs?  Maybe there's a way to tell, but still.  I've read some accounts that say even newborns don't have full motor control over their limbs and such, so if a newborn doesn't, how the hell can a 15 WEEK old fetus have "purposeful" motions?  *enter incredibly disturbing mental image of a fetus furiously masturbating in a womb... /shudders*

I for one, wish the government would stay the hell away from my reproductive organs.  The majority of these douche nozzles are lawyers. Law-yers.  Not doctors.  Yes, on a personal level I do not believe in partial birth abortions at all, unless there is severe and immediate danger to the life of the mother.  I do not believe a mother should be sentenced to death, but otherwise I do not see any reason whatsoever for partial birth abortions.  If it's so far along the fetus could survive outside the womb, it should be given up for adoption, not murdered.  Other abortions I do believe if done at all, should be reserved to early on in the pregnancy, and it should be a private decision between a woman and her doctor... not the fucking government.  I don't believe they should be used as birth control either.  There's pills, and condoms, and shots, and all kinds of birth control you can use to prevent getting pregnant.  People should be trying to be responsible for their own choices and weigh the consequences and accept responsibility.  I do think abortion should remain a choice... especially in cases of rape, incest, or serious health risk to the mother or fetus.  Don't believe in abortions? Don't get one. That is between the woman, her doctor, and whatever deity she may or may not believe in.  Did you know that in some areas, the way the legislation is written, it could be illegal to say (for example) remove a dead fetus from a woman's womb because it's considered an abortion?  I wish I could find this article I read, about a woman who had to have an abortion due to a similar circumstance, and it was determined that had some piece of legislation which was in for votes been passed how it was written, they couldn't have done the abortion and she would have died.  I closed the article and didn't save it, because I read it before this nincompoop Mr. Burgess made these idiotic comments. Also, notice how this lovely Rep dude seems to say only males seem to have "feelings" in the uterus, and not females???  Like, it all comes back to males, "while this legislation is targeting women and limiting women's rights."

You know what though?  Congress wants us to be more responsible and make better choices and stuff right?  They want to poke their nose into our personal lives and legislate what we do with our bodies, whom we can and cannot marry, and all that stuff right?  You know what I think? I think if they want us to start being more responsible, holding ourselves accountable for our own mistakes and choices,  and make better decisions, they should start setting a better example themselves. Lead by example.  What sort of message does it send to the people of this country when our own politicians and government officials are sneaky, conniving, thieving, backstabbing, lying and don't take responsibility for anything they fuck up?  What would motivate the average citizen into being more responsible, when the very people who are "leading" us are not being responsible themselves? The government needs to stay out of legislating any type of medical care.  Would you trust one of your wonderful congresspeople to do your brain surgery?  No?  Then why would you want them legislating ANY type of medical care?!?!  Think about it...
