I can't believe nobody posted this story.
I could've put it in "Politics", I could've put it in "General Stuff and Tabloids", I could've put it in "Religion and Philosophy", maybe I could've even put it in "Lifestyle"...but here in "Laffs" is where it really, obviously belongs:

*Of course!Michael Burgess: I Oppose Abortion Because Male Fetuses Masturbate
Rep. Michael Burgess (R*-Texas**) said Monday that abortion should be banned as early as 15 weeks after conception because he has witnessed male fetuses masturbate at that stage.
RH Reality Check first reported Burgess' comments, which came during a late-night House Rules Committee hearing on a GOP bill that would ban abortions starting at 20 weeks after conception.
"This is a subject that I do know something about,” said Burgess, a former OB/GYN. "There is no question in my mind that a baby at 20 weeks after conception can feel pain. The fact of the matter is, I argue with the chairman because I thought the date was far too late. We should be setting this at 15 weeks, 16 weeks."
"Watch a sonogram of a 15-week baby, and they have movements that are purposeful,” Burgess continued. “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 think that they could feel pain?"
**Again: of course!
