Face Palm
When words can't describe the stupid
A bill that would give a woman seeking an abortion the option to first view her ultrasound passed the Utah House on Friday.
Before HB200 cleared the chamber in a 53-15 vote, Minority Leader David Litvack, D-Salt Lake City, unsuccessfully attempted to amend the bill to delete language he believed to be flat-out false, referring to viewing the heartbeat of a fetus at three weeks.
"It is not medically accurate," Litvack said. "It's not possible. It does not exist."
Litvack read from a physician's e-mail that said you could expect to see embryonic cardiac activity at about six weeks from the woman's last period.
... ... ... 3 week old fetuses don't have hearts!
Double face palm
When it's just that stupid
Rep. Carl Wimmer, the bill's sponsor, disputed Litvack's claim."There are arguments on both sides of the issue," Wimmer, R-Herriman, said.
... ... ... ... ... What arguments? At 3 weeks a fetus is less than a millimeter long.
