Calling a Fetus as a Witness

Are these Republican woman-haters trying to look ridiculous on purpose? Now they have started calling fetuses as witnesses:
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A fetus has been scheduled as a legislative witness in Ohio on a unique bill that proposes outlawing abortions after the first heartbeat can be medically detected. Faith2Action, the anti-abortion group that has targeted Ohio to pilot the measure, called the in-utero witness the youngest to ever come before the House Health Committee at 9 weeks old. . . An aide to committee Chairman Lynn Wachtmann said a pregnant woman will be brought before the committee and an ultrasound image of her uterus will be projected onto a screen. The heartbeat of the fetus will be visible in color.
Congratulations, Ohio, you won the stupidity contest this week. And it's only Tuesday.

I wonder what the poor fetus will be able to bear witness to. Besides the Republicans' stupidity, of course.
