Foster claimed that aborted fetuses were powering Baltimore street lights. To be clear, they are not.
when someone so blatantly lies to Congress, aren't there some rules in place to punish that in order to prevent it recurring and more people doing it?
Catherine Glenn Foster testified during a Congressional hearing on abortion access, and the anti-choice activist let loose with a whopper that would make every bombastic Republican proud.
“In places like Washington D.C.,” fetuses are “burned to power the lights of the city’s homes and streets,” she accused. “The next time you turn on the light, think of the incinerators.”
