Oh, the irony!

c u l t u r e k i t c h e n: What Is Mine
I am going to have to learn how to filter out "anti-abortion" and "pro-life" from my GoogleAds. Crap.
UPDATE 2:
Want to mess with these quacks minds? Pay them a visit through that banner (if it is showing up on your browser). Everytime they get a visit through my site, the cost of their propaganda goes up --and in turn, I get paid. So go ahead, mouse away.
UPDATE 1:
It gets worse. Check out what I found at the other side of that ad banner. Pro-life quackery after the jump.
Marketing paraphernalia that makes spreading fascism, oh so much more convenient.
Check out the logic against using condoms : not using condoms can leave you 100% vulnerable to contracting STDs, including AIDS. Still, 15% of people who use condoms may end up getting the disease --which is good enough reason for these quacks to tell teenagers not to use condoms and instead pretend abstinence will keep them alive.
This one takes the cake --since you never really know when life starts, better not use the Morning After Pill. Why? Because it would probably be murder if you the ovum did get fertilized by the sperm. Murder. The expelling of a fertilized ovum is murder. Wrap your mind around that one. And it begs the question : Why aren't these people targeting fertility clinics? You know, the ones that dispose of hundred of thousands of unwanted fertilized ovii. They even "discar" unwanted embryos. Why aren't these people talking about that culture of death?

How funny. Not only that, this morning, I opened my mailbox and I had 7 messages trying to sell me anti-feminist books. Apparently, someone doesn't like the idea of women owning their own bodies. So yeah. I'm messing with their minds--I'm going to click on that ad all day long.

Why doesn't the radical Right (sic) try a new tactic: "Saving the Born"? It's amazing how much interest they lose in "life" once it's delivered of the birth canal.

Oh - that ad on this page made my brain hurt. But I will keep clicking - as much as it makes my skin crawl.

They don't bother fertility clinics because those work mainly with *families* who are trying to have children, while morning-after pills work mainly with women who wish to be sexuall autonomous.
And the expelling of a fertilized ovum is not murder, it is removal from one's body of something one doesn't want there. If it can't survive on its own, well, that's the way the world works, and if the pro-lifers don't like it they can take it up with the God who they believe created it that way.
Nothing has the right to survive solely at the expense of someone else. That is a privilege, dependent solely on the goodwill of the person whose expense it is.
My body, my choice. No arguments.
Oh, and Lorraine? Regarding those books you got offered, I have an idea for you. I don't recommend you do it, as it is probably illegal, but it is fun to think about; there was a guy who did this in the 70's as revenge against the oil companies: he bought something that the company in question sent him a bill for, with a postage-paid envelope. He then filled a cardboard shipping box with lots of heavy rocks and mailed it first class to the company, using the envelope as postage, and the company had to spring for the huge charges.
Probably illegal. But quite funny.
