I don't know. I would sooner say she is being misleading and perhaps is misinformed (regarding Obama). I don't know what 13-week fetuses are like to see directly, but my guess is that it wouldn't be a pleasant thing to view. They are rather shaped by that stage, but what's missing is consciousness, etc., as I mentioned, so she probably felt sympathetic to the fetuses for that reason. It would be a tough thing to see--living tissue shaped like a tiny baby.
