Mattie LIED when she claimed a human fetus' heart does not beat at 12 weeks. Here is Mattie's lie:

"Mattie 2:23 pm on Wednesday, September 5, 2012 There is no heart beat to hear before 12-16 weeks. Period. Don't you realize that at 12-14 weeks the actual embryo is the size of this:"

The following 100% factual information proves she lied:

Source: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002398.htm

• Week 5 of pregnancy (gestational age) ◦The brain, spinal cord, and heart begin to develop.
◦ The gastrointestinal tract begins to develop.

• Weeks 6 - 7 of pregnancy (gestational age) ◦Arm and leg buds become visible.
◦The brain develops into five areas and some cranial nerves are visible.
◦The eyes and ear structures begin to form.
◦Tissue forms that develops into the vertebra and some other bones.
◦The heart continues to develop and now beats at a regular rhythm.
◦Rudimentary blood moves through the main vessels.

Further proof of her lie: The human fetus' heart is beating; the fetus can even suck its own thumb. Illustration of a human fetus at 12 weeks: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/imagepages/9572.htm

Mattie -- I defy you to prove one error in fact in my post (that was posted yesterday).
Let me educate you, plebe:

* 1862 Republican Congress passes Confiscation Act stating that slaves of the Confederacy “shall be forever free”. 100% of Democrats opposed.

* 1865: REPUBLICANS get slavery outlawed via the 13th Amendment. 100% Republican support -- 63% Democrat OPPOSED IT.

* 1866 The REPUBLICAN Congress overrides DEMOCRAT President Johnson’s veto of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 which gave citizenship to African-Americans.

* 1866: REPUBLICANS (94% vote YES) pass the 14th Amendment guaranteeing due process and equal protection of the laws to ALL citizens -- Democrats who voted NO: 100%.

* 1878, California Republican A.A. Sargent introduces the 19th Amendment but it's blocked by the Democrat-controlled Congress (Done at the request by Susan B. Anthony)

* 1878 - 1919: Democrats repeatedly block the 19th Amendment. When they lose control of the Congress, the 19th Amendment is passed. Democrat Woodrow Wilson OPPOSED the amendment but was forced under public and political pressure to cave in.
