The image shows a man and a woman posing with what appears to be a fetus in a capsule.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis couple decided to abort their baby and mummify him,\u201d reads text included in the post. \u201cThen they put him in a capsule to show everybody. They made this as a protest so abort (sic) can be legalized all around the globe. What a crazy world we\u2019re living in.
