Pro-life vid of day: Uterus puppet roams “abortion desert”
by Hans Johnson
In the “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up” category comes a video called “The Abortion Desert.” Taking a cue from the idea of “food deserts” – a lack of urban grocery stores - the abortion lobby group Lady Parts Justice nervously brings attention to the dwindling number of abortion clinics.
For a serious subject, it’s an oddly sophomoric presentation (produced by Lizz Winstead, the formerly comedic co-creator of The Daily Show) which features a uterus puppet and a shirtless Chippendales dancer… er, “cowboy.”
They claim to be “a national movement using humor & outrage to remove bodily autonomy-hating local politicians in 2014 & beyond.” Failing at both, they are being bested by many pro-life groups that find nothing funny in this, and balance their outrage with caring for both mother and child (does that make us “Baby Parts Justice”?)…

LPJ insists that “women” want abortion, and a “small group of male politicians” want to deny them access.
Reality is that Americans do not want abortion, and the only people who desire easy access are a small group of abortion lobbyists and profiteers.
Ladies, it’s nice of you to reduce yourselves to your parts after all our hard work years ago trying to get recognition as an entire person. Thanks so much.
And ladies, that little person that moves down the fallopian tube and gestates in the uterus, is a person. You were a person too, even when you were just a few cells big. And that little person? He or she deserves bodily autonomy, too. His or her body is NOT part of yours, though temporarily located inside. You do have a relationship with your own children, whether you honor it or not.
What the…?
More of my brain cells flew away. . .
What’s with the sexist female caricature of long eyelashes and big red lips? Would one expect a uterus to be male?
WTSF?
Reality is that Americans do not want abortion – now you know that’s not true Del, so why say it.
and the only people who desire easy access are a small group of abortion lobbyists and profiteers – you think the women who want abortions want it to be really difficult to access? That doesn’t make sense.
“Would one expect a uterus to be male?”
It’s entirely possible that the target audience for this video is actually that stupid.

There isn’t much about abortion that makes sense.
Even the men and women who are favorably disposed toward abortion do not want clinics in their hometowns and neighborhoods.
Simple supply-and-demand here: If people really wanted it, providers would open up to fill the demand and communities would support them.
There isn’t much about abortion that makes sense – well that’s not accurate, it makes a whole lot of sense to a whole lot of people.
Even the men and women who are favorably disposed toward abortion do not want clinics in their hometowns and neighborhoods – your evidence for this? Although it is understandable given people don’t want to be harassed by what they see as the pests cluttering the sidewalks outside clinics.
Simple supply-and-demand here: If people really wanted it, providers would open up to fill the demand and communities would support them. – ROFLMBO! While the politicians who cater to the anti-choice crowd are consistently doing all they can to introduce TRAP laws. And, when they do exactly as you suggest there are cries of racial targeting.
Mary,
Since they’ve already divided the sum of a lady into her individual parts, who knows what gender each organ could be? I guess we’re all just like the babies they overlook – an amalgamation of strange lifeforms: “clumps of cells”.
What’s the opposite of “anthropomorphizing”? Oh yeah. “Dehumanizing”.
Shouldn’t this be a (not so) pro-life video of the day? Unless we’re counting the fact that the video highlights a lack of abortionists as being pro-life. Hmmm, I’m actually ambivalent on this one.
JDC,
Maybe so, but it would get kind of clunky to do that with every pro-choice video.
When their attempt at supporting their view is so ridiculously lame, doesn’t it turn out to be pro-life in the end?
“When their attempt at supporting their view is so ridiculously lame, doesn’t it turn out to be pro-life in the end?”
I think so.
Stay classy proaborts!
Keep it up with your puppetry and costumes!
FREAK SHOW!
My lady parts are offended at this (along with the rest of me).
Yeah, ‘cos waving posters of shredded fetuses around is just soooo classy.
“More of my brain cells flew away. . .”
Praxedes, I decided to save mine by not watching this video.
Are we supposed to take this video seriously? It’s so ridiculous. Why do pro-choicers reduce women to their uterus? Honestly that was weird.
Prax. You don’t have many to lose.
Carla. You should relate well to this …. Hypocrite
Hi Tym, Don’t worry, they fly back in after I read the Bible or go to Mass. Sometimes, they bring their friends along with them!
Funny how people are able to anthropomorphize a uterus (which is part of someone’s body but not a human being itself) but not use the same language for the unborn human being involved.
It’s working already!
Thanks for introducing me to a new word, bmmg39!
Next video: Follow the harrowing journey of Cletus the Fetus. Join Cletus from the moment that the miracle of life takes place. You’ll meet Cletus’ mother who, too irresponsible to be having sex in the first place, decides that her selfish desires are worth more than Cletus. You see the barbaric tools that rip Cletus’ body apart even as the “doctor” exclaims it is the mother’s body, not his. As you live the live he never had the opportunity to, be glad someone decided you were a human being and not a “choice?” Witness the moronic humor of the illogical defense of murder. But don’t wait for a sequel because Cletus is dead, or as the director prefers to state it, a woman decided to rip a non-volatile lump of cells out of the uterus?
