Fetus Survives, Impersonates Human

Gianna Jessen (Left) was born on April 6, 1977. She was aborted via saline injection and miraculously survived.

Gianna was permanently adopted at four years of age, and today credits the Lord Jesus with saving her life. A sufferer of cerebral palsy, she nonetheless has become an accomplished recording artist.

A couple of months ago, at the invitation of Colorado State Representative Ted Harvey, Gianna sang the Star-Spangled Banner to begin the final day of the General Assembly Session. Harvey had introduced her as a special new friend, but did not tell her story.

After she sang, Representative Harvey told the story of her suffering, without referencing its cause. The House chamber erupted into applause for 15-20 seconds, before Harvey quieted them to tell "the rest of the story." I am taking the liberty of pasting the text directly from his website:

"The cause of Gianna’s cerebral palsy is not because of some biological freak of nature, but rather the choice of her mother. 
You see when her biological mother was 17 years old and 7 ½  months pregnant she went to a Planned Parenthood clinic to seek a late term abortion.  The abortionist performed a saline abortion on this 17-year-old girl.  This procedure requires the injection of a high concentration of saline into the mother’s womb which the fetus is then bathed in and swallows which results in the fetus being burned to death, inside and out.  Within 24 hrs the results are normally an induced still-born abortion.

"As Gianna can testify the procedure is not always 100% effective.  Gianna is an aborted late term fetus that was born alive.  The high concentration of saline in the womb for 24 hrs resulted in a lack of oxygen to her brain and is the cause of her cerebral palsy.

"Members, today we are going to recognize the 90th anniversary of Rocky Mountain Planned Parenthood,”

BANG! The gavel came down.
 
Just as I was finishing the last sentence of my speech…The climax of the morning…The Speaker of the House gaveled me down and said,

“Representative Harvey, I will allow you to continue your introduction but not for the purposes of debating a measure now pending before the House.”

At which point I said,

“Mr. Speaker I understand, I just wanted to put a face to what we are celebrating today”.

Silence…Deafening silence.

I then walked back to my chair shaking like a leaf.  The Democrats wouldn’t look at me…they were fuming.  It was beautiful.  I have been in the legislature for five tough years and this made it all worthwhile.

The House Majority Leader wouldn’t talk to me the rest of the day.

The Majority Leader, Democrat Alice Madden, told the Denver Post the next day, that she thought Harvey was "amazingly rude to use a human being as an example of his personal politics." Harvey answers her brilliantly on his website:

Yes Representative Madden, Gianna Jessen is a human being. She was when she was in her mother's womb and she was when she sang the National Anthem on the Floor of the Colorado House of Representatives.

Ted Harvey is now running for the Colorado State Senate. Sure wish Floridians could vote in Colorado.
