Democratic Texas Congressman Gene Wu kept it classy today when he decided it would be hilarious to joke about stopping the heart beat of a baby inside the womb as the debate about late-term abortion rages at the Capitol in Austin.

If life ends when heart stops, then please explain Dick Cheney? #txlege

Not surprising coming from someone who supports aborting a child at five months.

UPDATE: He's already apologized and deleted the tweet above

Sorry for last tweet. In bad taste in review. Trying to point out flaw in argument on debate. #txlege

Sorry about Cheney tweet. I hit Send Button faster than I should have. Tasteless response in review. #txlege

My apologies for tasteless tweet. It does not help debate, I am sorry. #txlege

Tweet was deleted as acknowledgment of mistake, not to cover up. #txlege
