Abortion Survivor Sings to Lawmakers

Rep. Ted Harvey introduces Gianna Jessen, survivor of a late term saline abortion.

Abortion rights extremists decried Rep. Ted Harvey's introduction of Gianna Jessen, a woman who survived a botched late-term abortion. Jessen’s presence apparently tainted the assembly’s resolution to recognize Planned Parenthood, the nation's number one abortion provider.

Medical records show that as an unborn baby of about 24 weeks' gestation, Jessen was injected with a high-concentration saline solution for the purpose of bringing about her death via abortion. Although the poisonous salt solution worked on Jessen’s fragile body for 5 hours, her mother went into labor and she survived. She was injured and today bears some of the scars and a mild case of cerebral palsy. But she is alive, she is well and full of life.

Although it's hard to believe, Harvey’s critics responded by claiming that Jessen’s health problems could not be tied to the botched abortion.
