What's the largest organ in the body?

If you said anything other than 'fetus', you're wrong!

In defending her bill to crack down on abortion clinics, Alabama state Rep. Mary Sue McClurkin argued that abortions should be more strictly regulated because "When a physician removes a child from a woman, that is the largest organ in a body."

McClurkin, a Republican, added: "That's a big thing. That's a big surgery. You don't have any other organs in your body that are bigger than that."

O.o Sorry if this is a repost. I did look through the forums to see if there was another post but I admit to being brain dead right now. This shit is crazy.

And until later stages of development this isn't even close to true anyway.  A fetus is smaller than the lungs or hearts for a lot of its development

Further, as referenced by Cain, the skin is by far the largest organ, and if your baby is bigger than that, at any point before it's extruded, you've got a serious problem.

The idea that babies are an ORGAN let alone the largest . . . it just makes my head hurt. They're, for all intents and purposes, parasites. And . . . I'm not going to rant. But DUDE. Organs?

Don't we have the option of removing our own organs?  Seems like they are arguing against themselves on this one.
