I did a quick Google search a few minutes ago and learned that we were lucky enough to register on Jill Stanek's radar. We also got an entire post dedicated to us over at Life Advocates. As immature as it might be, I'm very tempted to pop over to both blogs and thank them for the attention. Hey, FMLA can always use more members.
Some observations:
The implication (of one of the blogs, I think Ms. Stanek's) that all -- or at least most -- pro-choicers were born post-Roe is hilarious. My mother was my age when she had me, making her born way pre-Roe, and she ranted to me about "pro-life" clinic protesting and why she thinks it's fucking stupid.
"May the fetus you save be gay" is mean? I'll agree that it is a slightly problematic sign and I can understand why people would find it distasteful for many reasons, but mean? I could understand if you think it's mean to that fetus because the Christian Right is generally both homophobic and anti-choice, but I don't understand why else it would be mean....unless...you think it's mean because you are homophobic! I know, I know. Crazy talk, right?
I know the guy holding the "Keep Bush out of my bush" sign. IIRC, he grabbed it because there were no other "generic" signs that would apply to men and we all need a little bit of humor to break up the tension. So why attack his gender and/or his looks? How on earth is that appropriate? If you homophobic, sexist bigoted fucks want me to NOT VIEW YOU AS HOMOPHOBIC, SEXIST BIGOTED FUCKS, then don't act like fucking idiots, k?
Blah blah, we love abobo. I get it. It's not that I think keeping abortion a decision between me and my doctor is hot, it's that I think abortion is SEXY!
Hmm. Now I kinda want an "Abortion is SEXY!" shirt. And it's all because of these horrible writers who don't understand context, let alone the entire situation.
If I were an asshole, I advise everyone photographed to start flooding these bloggers with emails stating that they did not receive written permission to publish their likeness on their blogs. But I'm a pretty nice person, so I won't.
