Yes. The crazies at the American Life League are at it again.
Last time, it was "Pro Life Cupcake Day" Now, it's "Pro Life Pumpkins" for Halloween.
Here's a suggested carving.
Pretty creative, isn't it?
Yes, it's right up there with Judy the Talking Embryo. (WARNING: Links to anti choice website). The imagination of Anti Choicers never ceases to amaze, and disgust, me.
Kids really want their annual Halloween candy quest to become a platform for political statements, and I'm sure parents really want to have to explain abortion to their kids while they're walking through the neighborhood dressed as Spiderman and Tinkerbell. Can't the kids just have a good time, without the self righteous using a harmless holiday to shove a message down their throats?
So, let's get creative.
What would a Pro Choice pumpkin look like?
Would it simply be a pumpkin filled with condoms?
Perhaps a pumpkin carved to look like a packet of oral contraceptives? A sex toy?
Perhaps a happy family? Or a loving mother and child? The anti choice zealots seem to conveniently forget that choice means planning a family and chosing when, and how often, to have children. Forcing a woman to give birth when she doesn't want to does not promote happy, or healthy, women or families.
Makes me wonder what holiday the anti choicers will pervert next to promote their shamefull message.
