Missouri state representative Mike Moon.


(CNN)He's compared abortion to the Holocaust. He's filed a bill to recognize an embryo as a person. He's proposed an exhibit of abortion tools next to the slavery exhibit in his state's capitol building.



Now one Missouri lawmaker is back in the news for a Facebook Live video in which he beheads a chicken and rips its heart out -- to announce his latest abortion bill.



In the video, Missouri State Representative Mike Moon cuts off the chicken's head and guts the animal on camera as he talks about going back for a special legislative session for the "primary purpose of supporting life."
Standing above the chicken covered in blood, Moon reaches inside the headless fowl, pulls out its heart and says, "I think we need to get the heart of the matter here. So today, I'm filing a bill that will lead to the stopping of abortion in the state of Missouri, and I hope you'll support it."

..........................................
The National Abortion Rights Action League's was quick to respond, tweeting: "Rep Moon beheaded a chicken on-camera to prove a point. He's gotten pretty cocky about anti-choice bills in #MOLeg."

[WhiteTara]

2. Facebook needs to ban him.

[Judi Lynn]

9. It would be criminal to allow him to continue on Facebook, and condone future animal cruelty. n/t

[dalton99a]

3. Sounds like another wingnut who likes to torture small animals

[Archae]

4. Any bets as to if he got his mistress an abortion when he knocked HER up?

I know. Sure bet.

[turbinetree]

5. This fucking MORON talks about life and then kills another life what am I missing

here, and the humans in Missouri keep putting an asshole in the legislature with blood on his hands, what a sadomasochistic asshole

[DK504]

12. Uhhhh, other than he's an idiot, an uneducated sociopath unable

to accept scientific fact he would rather bend the world to his sick fantasies.

Other than that he's fine.....

[HockeyMom]

6. An embryo cannot feel pain

A fully born and breathing ANIMAL can. Does this jerk know how many millions of embryos go down toilet bowls on a monthly basis?

[hurple]

7. WTF?

And, remember this is on the same day that a contingent of R's is calling for rolling back the rhetoric after this morning's shootings!

This asshat must have missed that memo.

[BillyBobBrilliant]

8. They have a guy

at the carnival that does this...They call him the "Geek."
He does it better by using his teeth.

[barbtries]

10. well shut my mouth.

my jaw dropped. not much use for the chicken's life obviously. guy appears to be sick.

[dhill926]

11. this is a seriously fucked up piece of shit....

I think he's more asshole than sick. Put him in a pen of angry roosters, and let them peck the fuck out of him...

[riversedge]

21. Oh my. that image will be hard to erase!

[TheCrankyLiberal]

13. This guy looks like my uncle Dave, Exactly like him

Dave is a rabid anti-choice fundamentalist tea partier.. Also was a prolific child molester from age 13.. Like a really terrible one! He turned to conservative fundamentalism in order to "blot out" his transgressions and argues that it is what kept him out of jail. So I'm totally sure this moron feels that all of his violent threats are justified because he's saving the babies.

14. Mike Moon is a rapists' rights defender:

He has actively participated in advocating for MANDATORY gestational slavery torture of innocent rape victims impregnated by the rapist.

He considers the right of the rapist to perpetuate his tainted DNA to be sacred.

He considers the innocent rape victim to be nothing more than expendable and exploitable livestock to be tortured.

15. As soon as he can carry an embryo inside his body for 9 months, I will at least listen to what he

has to say

[TygrBright]

16. Wait, if he's all up on embryos, shouldn't he have cracked an egg? n/t

[Turbineguy]

17. Not impressed.

Alice Cooper was better.

[sinkingfeeling]

18. I would counter by breaking an egg into a dish. This man has a serious mental issue.

[PSPS]

19. Hey, Zuckerberg made money off it, so it's all good, amirite?

[Marthe48]

20. I'd like to see a match between him and my daughter's rooster

I bet moon would come off second best in a fair fight. Ahole.

22. Beheading chickens is normal around the world --- for food. He did it purely for the sake of killing
