“I am going to vote for H.R. Bill 1122, and these are the reasons: At day 22 of a pregnancy a baby's heart begins to beat with blood often a different type than the mother's. At week 5, eyes, hands, and feet begin to develop. At week 6, brain waves are detectable. Week 8, all body systems are present, and bones begin to form. Week 9, the baby is sucking his or her thumb, kicking and bending fingers. Week 11, the baby can smile. And at week 17 the baby can have dream sleep. Mr. Speaker, we are talking about a procedure that takes place at weeks 20 to 24, a procedure where the child is turned around in the womb and grabbed by the feet and the baby is killed, as has been described before. There has been another time when babies have been grabbed by the feet and killed, and it happened in Cambodia outside of Phnom Penh, the killing fields. At the edge of the killing fields is a tree that stands there, stained with red right now, because those people, in the midst of the genocide that was taking place there, took the babies by the feet and beat their heads against the tree, and that tree is stained with blood; it is red until its death as a symbol of the genocide and the infanticide that took place in Phenom Penh at the hands of the Khmer Rouge. We are doing the same thing except just a matter of inches, a matter of difference of time. We are doing the same thing.”
