We're So Pro-Choice That If You Disagree With Us We'll Kill You

Planned Parenthood Golden Gate cartoon shows pro-choice superhero killing abstinence supporters and abortion-clinic protestors.

Yes, it's only a cartoon. But ideas have consequences. When exactly did it become acceptable for supposedly mainstream organizations to suggest political violence, even in a "kidding" manner?

The "superhero" provides a disclaimer about pro-life protestors having the right to protest peaceably, but then admits, "Sometimes I wish they would all just... disappear," and fires large condoms at them, which encase the protestors. Which is fine... until the protestors explode and, presumably, die.

There are unstable people out there, people willing to kill or die to vindicate their political preferences. And they're not all Islamicists, either.

Why on earth is it necessary to give such people moral encouragement to commit acts of political terrorism?

Would Planned Parenthood Golden Gate think it prudent for me to write a little sketch in which I "jokingly" suggest the "funny" killing of abortion doctors? Or Planned Parenthood staffers?

I don't think they would find that funny at all. And, for that matter, neither would I.

The hard left imagines itself as peaceful and anti-violence, but why is always the left advocating, seriously or "jokingly," political violence?

(Yes, I know, there are those considered to be on the right who do so as well. But these are extremely marginalized figures. They're not working for major pro-choice organizations or the University of Colorado at Boulder. Time and time again, there are hints that a little bit of violence is acceptable for the right sort of cause coming from ostensibly-respectable and highly paid and highly educated folks, and those hints aren't coming from the right.)

World Net Daily comments on the piece.

Thanks to Allah.

Ironically enough.

More... at Dawn Eden's Dawn Patrol, with screencaps and a partial transciption of the key bits.

Plus she notes that PP is getting government money to promote a wink-wink nudge-nudge attitude towards the right sort of political violence.

Thanks to See-Dub for the tip.

Now I know how it feels, Dave!

PS Dawn Eden has a huge, detailed post on this with screencaps, if you don't want to watch the whole insipid thing. Plus, as she points out, PPGG is getting taxpayer money to do this. Why not throw her a link?

See-Dub, hadn't we all learned by now *not* to tease Ace about this?

He's trying his best, really.

Meanwhile, I'll be over here, f'ing the prom queen.

I can't sit through it. This is astoundingly lame. Are we sure no one hacked their site and put this up as a parody just to make them look even dumber than they are? They can't really be this f'n retarded, can they?

I love how this jackassed movie portrays Christians who preach abstinence as evil villains and accuses them of lying.

The true liars are the propagandists at Planned Parenthood who pretend that as long as you use a condom, you'll never have to sweat the consequences of sex.

Why not just tell the truth? No form of birth control other than abstinence is 100% effective. You don't have to be religious to understand that premarital sex can have unintended negative consequences.

These bigoted, anti-Christian propagandists need to be de-funded immediately.

Posted by: The Warden on August 8, 2005 05:57 PM

Oh, and See-Dubya? Just wait until Ace discovers Planned Parenthood's opinion on trainables.

He'll love that.

I don't even want to fucking know...

Posted by: Megan on August 8, 2005 06:03 PM

Cartoons attract and speak to children. Children see this, become pregnant and keep the abortion industry in the money and on the moonbat liberal agenda express.

I liked how the man preaching abstinence was tiny, talked weird, and had the stereotypical villian's moustache.

Fuck Planned Parenthood in the ass with a big rubber dick. At least they can't get pregnant that way.

Posted by: compos mentis on August 8, 2005 06:04 PM

Compos mentis, I was just going to comment on that. How EVIL to advise kids not to have SEX.

Geeze. It's pathetic.

Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on August 8, 2005 06:10 PM

Mithras called.

He say says that conservative asswipes like you need to grow a sense of humor ...you douchebag

I, at the risk of offending Mithras, would point out that the cartoon shows condoms that break at the moment of explosion.

Posted by: BumperStickerist on August 8, 2005 06:32 PM

My favorite part was when Snidely Whiplash is trying to convince the kids to embrace abstinence and asks them about getting STDs, one girl says "I don't plan on getting an STD." Well no shit bitch, no one PLANS on getting an STD and that's the point. Does the super-ho say anything about this? Hell no. She does what all good liberuls do, calls Snidely Whiplash some names and then kills him by drowning him in anal lube.

None of the contraceptive methods they listed in that segment are 100% effective at stopping the spread of STDs. Condoms are the most effective method of disease prevention and they have a 3% failure rate out of the box, but it can easily jump to 12% if you use any petroleum based lubricants. Anyone honestly think a kid is going to be dropping $10 for a small tube of astroglide when they can get a big bottle of baby oil or a jar of Petroleum Jelly at Walgreens for $2 bucks?

Shit, they ought to change their name to "Un-Planned Parenthood" 'cause that's what they're selling - and I'm sure that just because they make most of their money on providing abortions has nothing to do with that fact.

Posted by: Maynard on August 8, 2005 06:46 PM

I actually saw this over on Dawn Eden's site, but didn't want to comment there.

The vulgarity is quite startling; given that it's from San Francisco, that's almost a given.

It's not water the abstinence guy gets drowned in, but "Aqua glide" - called so to avoid having to pay Astroglide any money. Oh, and when abstinence guy points out that condoms won't protect against all sexually transmitted diseases (I'm not going there), the girl responds, lamely, "I don't intend to get any STDs". Oh, right. And during the credits sequence, a condom decapitates one of the sign carriers as it unrolls.

If this doesn't bother you, you aren't paying attention. This is vile, and ducks answering some very important questions.

Ugh.

I don't recall any scenes with ducks answering questions.

"The true liars are the propagandists at Planned Parenthood who pretend that as long as you use a condom, you'll never have to sweat the consequences of sex."

But don't you see the beauty in this? There won't be consequences because then they will tell you how to HAVE AN ABORTION!!!!

And then everyone is happy. Well, except for the unborn kid you disposed of quite cruelly. But don't talk about that because if you do YOU'RE A FACIST CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTALIST WHO GETS HIS JOLLIES BY CONTROLLING WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS!!!!

In all seriousness though, don't use this to show that there are people on the left that are not only pro-choice but pro-abortion as well. That's like pointing out that in addition to the people on the left that are Anti-Bush there are many who are Anti-America - IT JUST ISN'T SO!

I have to point out that at least one pro life person murdered people for his beliefs. Encouraging that on the pro choice side is reprehensible; however, doing for the pro life side is even worse.

This is not a right or wrong issue. It involves personal morality, religious beliefs, and medical facts. Abortion shouldn't be seen as (or used as) a form of birth control, just as "I was robbing the bank and holding my gun and the teller startled me" is not a valid defense in a homicide. On the other hand, there are real reasons to allow abortion. Think about it, if your sister or wife had a baby with an extra head growing out of its back, had been raped and was pregnant, or had a 2% chance of surviving the pregnancy, would you force her to carry the child.

I expect many people would force the issue; however, I ask that the Christians out there remember that believing is a matter of an individual's personal faith and it can't be forced.

This is a complex can of worms, just don't forget that violent extremists on both sides are wrong.

Posted by: BobBobbly on August 9, 2005 12:27 AM

Planned Parenthood was more deserving of respect when it championed eugenics.

Posted by: Scotian on August 9, 2005 01:07 AM

Im sorry BobBobbly, but I call bullshit.

Prolifers believe that a human being dies in the abortion procedure, while prochoicers believe abortion is a simple elective medical procedure.

I can sympatize with someone who kills to save babies. I don't agree with them,I certainly don't endorse it, and I feel that they have commited a crime and should be punished accordingly.

On the flip side, someone who runs around killing to allow easy access to liposuction clinics is not deserving of sympathy, no matter how many fat chicks there are in the city.

So for you to imply that it is far nobeler to kill for the prochoice view than the prolife side is bulshit. One kills because they believe that they're saving lives. The other kills because they want everybody to have access to unncessary surgery.

Really though, all I want is for the elected legislatures (you know, the guys who are supposed to write the laws) to be allowed to handle this constitutionally. The same legislatures that enforce Judeo-Christian morality in the areas of rape, murder, theft and a whole host of other moral "vices".

Yeah, I thought about mentioning "bug chasers", but then I thought, what does Andrew Sullivan have to do with this?

Posted by: Maynard on August 9, 2005 02:32 AM

Wasn't there a cartoon like this before, but the superhero looked more like Janeane Garofalo and she was fighting conserva-robo-judges? Or was that done by a different organization?

And how about that name, Dianisis? Homonym of Dionysus, the "born again" god of intoxicants and debauchery. Born a second time after being ripped to shreds as a baby. How symbolic. Abortion, Jesus, and hedonism all in one neat little package.

Posted by: Sue Dohnim on August 9, 2005 08:36 AM

My question - beyond all the textual bullshit - is what are they trying to accomplish with this thing?

It's utterly worthless as agitprop, unfunny, crudely drawn, vulgar. I mean ... what's the audience? Little kids? Fellow PP travellers?

Do they plan on showing it in a loop at clinics everywhere? Selling it to sympathetic pediatricians?

I agree with Megan - I look at this and think "This can't be for real, it has to be a hack."

If Robert Smigel had been involved, then I'd understand and find it funny. As it is, it just reminds me of those God-awful Christian cartoons I'd come across on the Jesus channels. Same crude drawings, same infantile messaging...

OK, BobBobbly, I'm with you.
Let's allow those abortions.
How about we just outlaw the other 98%, which are for pure convenience?

Pro-choicers always trot out abomination pregnancies to back up their point. Planned parenthood never publishes stats on how many abortions fall into this category. Why do you suppose that is?

If most abortions were to protect the mother's life, or to get rid of an inc*st-baby or somesuch, don't you think they'd crow it from the rooftops, what a valuable public service they are performing?

But they're actually pretty quiet about all that aren't they.
