Texas Congressman Michael Burgess asserted that as an OB/GYN, he has witnessed male fetuses masturbating in the womb as early as 15 weeks. He argues that masturbating fetuses are proof that fetuses feel pleasure and so also must feel pain. For this reason, Burgess argues that abortions after 20 weeks should be banned.
What the Congressman failed to mention is that masturbation is a sin according to the Catholic Church. Since these self pleasuring fetuses are all going to Hell anyway, won't aborting these fetuses simply speed their journey through Purgatory? If fetuses masturbate, would it not be kinder to abort them all so their time in Hell is shorter?
If a doctor observes a masturbating fetus they should insist on abortion in order to save its soul. It's the Christian thing to do and the ultimate act of kindness.
