Del. Black's Baby Dolls







How would you like to get a replica of a trimester-old fetus in the mail? For some of Virginia's Democratic state senators it was a disturbing event. Sens. Toddy Puller (D-Fairfax) and Richard Saslaw (D-Fairfax) were quite bothered by Del. Richard Black's (R-Loudoun) publicity stunt. Along with the plastic 'baby' recipients got a letter asking "Would you kill this child?"

This is all part of the anti-abortion kick Virginia Republicans are on right now. I'm not surprised by Del. Black's approach (which he is unapologetic for) or the Democratic response. Though, I have to laugh that they thought it so disturbing to be confronted with a fake fetus. I guess they prefer fetuses in medical waste bags.
