Leftist Katie Couric demolishes the Left’s defense of abortion as “just a clump of tissue”

baby in wombTHIS is going to get a lot of traction on the Right every time (emphasis mine):

The chirpy Yahoo News anchor was delivering a biology dissertation on the Ellen show about how unpredictable gender can be. (It’s apparently a total crap shoot and genetics don’t matter.) Over the course of the discussion Katie explains how a female fetus can feel male.

Wait, fetuses can feel stuff?

Yeah, that’s gonna be a big OUCH!  From a zygote (just a fancy name for a fertilized egg) to an embryo to a fetus – we’ve always been told that NONE of them are viable. Oh, and by the way, all of the latin derived terms are just scientific names for the the different stages of a baby (and not to be used as smokescreens) that is alive.  It’s not just a bunch of cells – of no account at all.  Well, ANYbody can be non-viable: a new born if not taken care of, a toddler if not taken care of, how many adults could take care of themselves in the wild nowadays without civilization’s capabilities for an extended amount of time, and consider those that cannot take care of themselves (from illness, accidents, or old age).

But here comes Couric saying that “a female can feel male“; what are the ramifications?  Well, if you can feel, then there is some amount of self-awareness present.  If you can feel, then there is some amount of nervous system there.

That’s not “a clump of cells” – that is a living being.  Sure, it is only viable because the mother is providing sustenance.  But if  feelings are present, it means that there is a life present that is distinct and separate from the mother.  And if it can feel the difference in hormonal “washes”, then the kicker is self-evident:

Then it can certainly feel pain during an abortion (be it by saline solution, other chemicals, or rent limb from limb).

She just cut the knees out from underneath the pro-Abortionist arguments that it is “just a clump of cells”.  How long until the Left starts to react to Couric’s aborting their primary argument for supporting their baby killing?  After all, their orthodoxy tolerates no dissent.

No, it won’t be like a helpless, innocent baby that can’t fight back.   There will be some that will attempt to abort her career.
