Iowa state Rep. Greg Heartsill made headlines last week for reading Dr. Seuss' "Horton Hears a Who!" during an impassioned speech from the House floor in support of a so-called "Personhood Amendment" to the state constitution.
Before his dramatic reading and political interpretation of the children's book, Heartsill, R-Chariton, offered one clear, verifiable fact. He said 50 million abortions have been performed in the United States since 1973, when the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision made the procedure legal.
