That’s right. Facebook found this picture taken by Seana Berglund (of Ruthie’s placenta) to be in violation of their ethics. How? I don’t know. It is awesome! I honestly am laughing.

The Heart Shaped Placenta
Placentas are on my mind. Why you ask? Well, this will explain it and this will show you how rad placentas are.
