She Fell Fetus FirstShayna Richardson was making her first solo skydiving jump when she had trouble with her parachutes and, while falling at about 50 mph, hit face first in a parking lot. Although badly hurt, she survived–and doctors treating her injuries discovered she was pregnant. Four surgeries and two months later, Richardson said she and the fetus are doing fine.

"Just this last week we went and saw the doctor and we’ve got arms, we’ve got legs. We’ve got a full face. The baby is moving around just fine. The heart rate looks good. So not only did God save me but he spared this baby," she said.

This just goes to show how the religious right controls the media in America. Shayna Richardson isn’t “doing fine”; she’s having hallucinations. Everyone knows it’s scientifically proven that a fetus is just a clump of tissue, but she imagines she’s seeing “arms,” “legs,” even a “face.” Absurdly enough, she talks as if she has an actual “baby” inside of her! Well, Shayna, you antichoice extremist, keep your laws off our body! (sarcastic smiley added by me, for the benefit of our forum)
