Womb controller Janet Porter schedules fetus to 'testify' in favor of OH bill

As Kyle at Right Wing Watch says, "When Janet Porter is involved in something, you know it is just a matter of time before it goes completely off the rails." There's no question this one is off and rolling down a steep embankment as she is preparing announcing plans to have a fetus testify in support of an Ohio Heartbeat Bill.

A fetus has been scheduled as a legislative witness in Ohio on a unique bill that proposes outlawing abortions after the first heartbeat can be medically detected.

Faith2Action, the anti-abortion group that has targeted Ohio to pilot the measure, called the in-utero witness the youngest to ever come before the House Health Committee at 9 weeks old.

Faith2Action president Janet Folger Porter said the intent is to show lawmakers who will be affected by the bill, which abortion rights groups oppose. Ohio Right to Life has not endorsed the measure.

An aide to committee Chairman Lynn Wachtmann said a pregnant woman will be brought before the committee and an ultrasound image of her uterus will be projected onto a screen. The heartbeat of the fetus will be visible in color.
