Louie Gohmert Tells Woman She Should Have Carried Brain-Dead
Fetus To Term
At a congressional hearing Thursday on an abortion bill that would ban the procedure after 20
weeks of pregnancy, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) told a female witness that she should have
carried her pregnancy to term even though doctors had discovered the fetus had no brain function.
The 20-week abortion ban in question, sponsored by Rep. Trent Franks would prohibit women
from having abortions after 20 weeks, even in cases of rape, incest, when the mother's health
is in danger, or when the fetus has a debilitating or fatal disability.
