The abortion purse
Some people wear their heart on their sleeve, others wear abortion – in neon lights.
Pro-abortion San Francisco artist Michele Pred has unveiled the latest in abortion couture, the abortion purse. Quoting Vitaminw.co:
At a new show opening tomorrow, a “Pro Choice” accessory, made from a vintage hat case [above], displays the writing in neon lights.
Pred has also made a series of purses [right] - vintage style pocketbooks with big honking clasps and wrist straps from the days of the diaphragm. These powerful purses showcase words like “Choice” or a heart, spelled out in beautiful ElectroLuminescent wire….
It’s like a retro-fashion tech version of a bumper sticker. More chic than a pin-on button. Pred says in an email, “the purses are referring to women’s economic power! AND (they’re) a mobile (and fashionable) way of expressing ones views.”
The wire resembles neon lights, and you can make make them blink on and off - which the artist says is her favorite.
I realize red is meant to symbolize power. But it is, of course, also the color of blood, ironic.
And I realize the purse is likewise meant to symbolize power, as in “power of the purse. ” But it also symbolizes money, as in “purse strings,” the huge windfall profits the abortion industry makes from chopping up little helpless babies.
They’ll claim no one wants to profit from abortion, oh no. Nevertheless, Pred’s “limited edition” abortion purses will fetch $300 each. Just sayin’.
As Saynsumthn’s Blog points out, Pred has been making a living off of contraceptive pill and abortion art for awhile. In 2012, Pred tried to partner with Planned Parenthood:
I somehow can’t imagine Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards wearing one of these purses, but she could prove me wrong.
Pro-life bias aside, I do think Pred ruined those beautiful retro purses with puncture marks and coated wire lettering, no matter what cause she might have chosen to promote.
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
I love vintage things and you’re right…she ruined those great old purses. But its a little more couture than knit vagina caps or hanger jewelry.
Their reality is more ludicrous than any parody that we could attempt.
They are deranged, Del.
You can buy a nice Coach bag for $300.00.
I say Go For It!!!
They are getting desperate and the purses are ridiculous!
Ppphhhhhtttt.
It says ‘choice’, not ‘abortion’. Your own words refer to diaphrams, which is not abortion.
The designer refers to womens economic power, something they didn’t have in the past due to the same mindset which wishes to control their reproductive choices.
Some restaurants have red decor because some folk believe that it increases the appetite.
Not as silly as an abortion barbie poster.
“Pro-Choice” celebrates the unrestricted privilege of a mother to murder her child — or not, as she chooses.
We all want this on a handbag.
‘privilege’ – “a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group”
Pro-choicers don’t aim for this so ‘choice’ is the more accurate term to go on the handbag.
I’m not interested. Not just because it’s abortion support, but because seriously…neon lights on a purse? For both reasons, I definitely pass.
A pregnant woman has the privileged status of choosing life or death for her child.
Grandparents, birth mothers, fathers, and children have no such right to murder without consequence. They have no power to protect the innocent lives.
Choice for the Privileged class is not justice for the innocent.
Talking about the color red: I was trolling on a pro-abortion site several months ago. (This is not something I do often, but why should “Reality” have all the fun?)
Anyhow, one pro-bort woman on the chat forum had a habit of throwing her hands in the air and refraining that she needed “another glass of red wine.”
I mentioned that this is something that pro-abortion feminists and Catholic pro-lifers fully agree on: Red wine is the best symbol for shedding blood.
that’s when I got banned.
Every person becoming pregnant has the right to choose whether to continue with the pregnancy or seek a termination.
Those who are not pregnant aren’t in a position where they need to make that choice and there is no reason why they should be able to interfere in the decision making of those who are.
There is no ‘privileged class’ on this. If you found yourself pregnant then you too could make that choice Del.
Yeah…a woman could carry that purse along with her I Had An Abortion T shirt!
LOL! @ heather!
If abortion were a good thing, that would happen.
@ Reality: Dude, don’t tempt me to read your posts. We know that you believe the child has no value, and we are tempted to treat you the same. I’ve been watching DEXTER on Netflix, and we all know what happens when Dexter decides that you have no value.
Del….I went to a Choice facebook site and some woman snapped a picture with her cell phone of the half blood filled jar after her abortion stating how simple and painless it was. I started with a polite but direct question and the retaliation from those moonbats was brutal yet laughable. They didnt show respect so they didnt get any from me. It ended when she told me about how shed put 2 kids through college yet I persisted …dont you find that a bit odd that you posted your dead childs remains for all to see? Lol i was banned for 12 hours!!
A direct approach to pro choicers is what ive found effective. Stay firm and direct because they love diversion. Before I knew it I had about 15 of them ganging up on me. I stayed strong. After a while they just could not maintain their side of the debate. I won! Some of them even calmed down and began to talk to me.
Reality says: “Every person becoming pregnant has the right to choose whether to continue with the pregnancy or seek a termination.”
Same ol same ol.
Divert from the central issue: when is it OK to kill a human being? This time, the human being is obscured by the “pregnancy” language. Central issue ducked yet again.
“Reality” either does this on purpose, or has bought the brainwashing of this liberal cult. These responses are so tired.
“We know that you believe the child has no value” – well that’s obviously an incorrect assessment on your behalf.
“and we are tempted to treat you the same” – so you’re ok with behaving the same way that you falsely accuse me of?
Dexter doesn’t decide that people have no value :-)
TLD, dude, keep up. Perhaps you could scope the previous comments before embarking on an excursion through the maze.
My comment “Every person becoming pregnant has the right to choose whether to continue with the pregnancy or seek a termination” was in response to Del’s incorrect statement that “A pregnant woman has the *privileged status* of choosing life or death for her fetus.” If you had made much of an effort you probably would have noted that I went on to say “There is no ‘privileged class’ on this. If you found yourself pregnant then you too could make that choice Del.”
“This time, the human being is obscured by the “pregnancy” language” – dude, we are not ‘found in the cabbage patch.’
Of course I associate pregnancy with humans!
