Tennessee lawmaker grills Republican who claimed to remember being born while arguing for abortion law
BY ARIS FOLLEY - 08/17/19 09:42 PM EDT THE HILL
A Democratic state lawmaker in Tennessee grilled a Republican man who claimed to remember his own birth during a hearing on legislation to ban abortions in the state once a fetuss heartbeat is detectable.
The footage was captured during a hearing held by the states General Assembly earlier this week, in which backers and opponents to the legislation were able to discuss their positions on the bill with state senators.
During the hearing, Hal Rounds, who was identified by a local Fox affiliate as a local Tea Party leader, told lawmakers that he had a conceptual memory of being born.
I have a conceptual memory of being born. That sounds ridiculous. I didnt come out of the womb and say, Oh my God, theres a fluorescent light and it was made by Slovenia. No, he continued.

philosophical debates-- not a thing you make law on.
Senator Robinson had look about her that said "I really don't want to be here dealing with this bullshit."
