Republican Lawmaker: A Fetus Is The Largest Organ In A Body
Alabama State Rep. Mary Sue McClurkin is in favor of proposed harsh abortion laws in Alabama, and explains why.
Alabama State Rep. Mary Sue McClurkin is in favor of proposed harsh abortion laws in Alabama, and explains why.
The legislation, sponsored by Rep. Mary Sue McClurkin, R-Pelham, would require physicians at abortion clinics to have admitting privileges at local hospitals; require clinics to follow ambulatory clinic building codes and make it a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison for a nurse, nurse practitioner or physicians assistant to dispense abortion-inducing medications.
McClurkin and other supporters of the bill, known as HB 57, argue that the nature of abortion should require strict regulations, and claim that abortion clinics have a higher rate of regulatory violations than any other providers.
When a physician removes a child from a woman, that is the largest organ in a body, McClurkin said in an interview Thursday. Thats a big thing. Thats a big surgery. You dont have any other organs in your body that are bigger than that.
