Anti-Choice Group Called Two Fetuses As Witnesses (Littlegreenfootballs.com)

It turns out that the anti-choice group pushing Ohio's crazy "Heartbeat Bill"
didn't just call one fetus as a witness to yesterday's hearing. They called
two.

> If House Bill 125 is approved and signed into law, Ohio would have the most
restrictive limits on abortion in the nation.

>

> "**This bill would essentially outlaw abortions in Ohio because they would
be banned before a woman even knows she is pregnant**," said Kellie Copeland,
executive director of NARAL Pro-choice Ohio.

>

> Before a packed hearing room, two young mothers were given ultrasounds which
were shown on a large screen. ...

>

> The bill's sponsor, Rep. Lynn R. Wachtmann, R-Napoleon, said seeing the
fetus moving and hearing the heartbeat is "an eyeopener."

>

> "I think it kind of hits you in the forehead about what is going on in the
woman's womb," he said.

It's highly symbolic that the ones named as witnesses were the fetuses -- not
the women carrying them.
