Just The Fax: Pro-Life Edition

Regina Pro-Life sent us a fax today announcing their upcoming “5th Annual March For Forced Pregnancy (um) Pushing Our Deranged Superstitions On Everyone (er) Gettin’ Back At Alla Them Uppity Bitchez (I mean) Life”. The fun starts on Thursday at 1:00 at the Leg.

The purpose of this fetus festival? “The March is a protest against unborn baby killing (abortions) in the province.”

Also: “The victims will be on display.”

Ewww!

As readers know, prairie dog has the highest opinion of pompous moralizing dipshits amateur philosophers whose big “cause” is telling women they have to carry pregnancies to term (also, no birth control, no premarital sex and NO HOMO STUFF!). But while we could ignore them (or dismiss them as tragic freaks who need help but refuse to get it), alas, it’s clear these uterus-obsessers have a smidgeon of actual political power and are eager to use it.

And sure, maybe they haven’t had much success in Canada (yet), but give ‘em an inch and they’ll give you an ultrasound wand up your hoohoo (medical term). Just look at the U.S., where anti-abortion zealots have got laws passed restricting access to abortion and forcing women who want (or need) to terminate a pregnancy to have creepy counselling sessions and ultrasound equipment rammed up their yes-Virginias (another medical term).

So fuck ‘em.

Now please enjoy this comedic video about women’s rights, U.S. Republicans and vaginas.

About Stephen Whitworth

Stephen Whitworth is a life-long fan of newspapers and alternative media who got his start in the student press a hundred years ago. He moved to Regina in the fall of 1998 and Prairie Dog recklessly hired him nine months later. It was a terrible mistake and the publication deeply regrets its inability to get rid of him. When Whitworth’s not adding typos to the hard work of Prairie Dog’s many terrific writers, writing hilarious (to him) headlines and finding inventive new ways to make the paper late for its bi-weekly press deadline, he enjoys reading magazines, newspapers and alternative comics, listening to music, playing board games, and drinking and eating. He has a cat and seven six pet snakes (R.I.P., Fred).

    I am so sick of these anti-abortion douche bags. I say that we have an anti-anti-abortion rally and throw unborn chicken fetuses in their general direction.

    Last year as I was walking to my car down Scarth st I was ambushed by fetus images. To take it further, when I explained I was pro-choice…the bitches forced an 80 something elderly woman to tell me how abortion ruined her life.

    Rediculous!

    Let’s have an anti-everything-Whitworth-stroked-out rally. But first, find their cars and pee in the air intake vents. (not an actual endorsement of vandalism or pubic indecency) ((or is it?)) (((I won’t ever tell)))

    *public pubic indecency. Smartphone, stupid fat fingers.

    How about insults, art and comedy? I’m not sure urine vandalism and assault by uncooked chicken makes the world a better place.

    Insults, art and comedy! Got a nice ring to it, don’t it?

    A ninety year old man came through my work today wearing a “Pray to make abortion stop” pin. I held my tongue, but really wanted to ask him why he hates women.

    How thin is the veneer of principle.

    Want a counter-protest? Remember love-ins from the 1960s? (Neither do I).

    Let’s gather hundreds of people of all flavours to surround and envelop the so-called “pro-life” protest, strip to our nakeds, and start enjoying life in a responsible adult way. Then at the end, dispose of the condoms in a responsible non-adult manner by lobbing them in the direction of the “pro-life” protest, while singing “Every Sperm is Sacred”.
