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. Jessens presence apparently tainted the assemblys 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 Jessens 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, Harveys critics responded by claiming that Jessens health problems could not be tied to the botched abortion.

Gianna Jessen, who has traveled the world to share the story of how she survived a botched abortion, sang the patriotic song to open the last day of the legislative session.

There's nothing abortion advocates hate more than a fetus with attitude! I bet it ticks them off to no end that they can't legally finish the job and silence her.
