So after reading a story about a parasite being found in someone's brain... a story that happened to be on Fox News... I have a truly nightmarish but truly cathartic idea for a body horror short story.

Immediately after a widely publicized string of teen fatalities due to lack of sanitary abortion facilities, a series of conservative male pundits make brutal, insensitive statements to the press about the "will of God." In response, a coven of teenaged witches gathers and invokes several ancient goddesses of war, fertility, and/or vengeance at once, begging them to band together and help them find cosmic justice.

With a week, all the offending pundits and pol start to suffer severe headaches, confusion, and cognitive issues, accompanied by gruesome hallucinations of various Bronze Age hells. It is investigated as a bioterror incident, but no cause nor symptoms are found.

Within a month, there are traces of unchecked cellular growth in the afflicteds' brains. They are dismissed as malign tumors. Surgeries are planned. Sanctimonious conservatives mourn, demanding the cause be found and the "terrorists" be brought to justice.

But before the surgeries can happen, something bizarre is found on one of the patients' scans: a well-formed human embryo developing inside their cerebellum. The other patients are examined. They're all brain-pregnant.

The story ends with the GOP's hand-picked team of Christian doctors breaking the news: the fetuses can not be saved without doing lethal damage to the patients' brains. But the moral path is abundantly clear and the surgical tables are prepared...
