SecularProLife.org satirizes pro-aborts in new video
SecularProLife.org released a new video this morning with the question, “Can a pro-life video be funny?”
I wouldn’t call this video funny; I’d call it perfectly done satire aimed at absurdly dishonest pro-aborts who use verbal gymnastics to prop abortion. And I love it…
Readers will recognize Kelsey, who heads SecularProLife.org, as a frequent commenter here. She writes in her release about the video:
Have you ever noticed that words like “parasite” and “tissue” are only used in reference to other people’s children?
The video is in the style of a home movie, not a preachy commercial. That means that you can share it with friends who would normally avoid watching a pro-life piece. Please help us share this important message with as many people as possible.
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 give Kelsey and the SecularProLife crew credit for exploiting a big hole in the pro-abortion position. Unfortunately, it’s really not funny — as Jill says — only fittingly satirical.
As Kelsey knows, though, I don’t necessarily support SecularProLife wholesale. While their work to appeal to non-religious arguments against abortion is admirable, they leave off too soon in enduring contraceptives and pre-marital sex as “realistic” and “inevitable.”
Clearly the SPL folks have a sense of what’s wrong with the anti-life mindset. I would challenge them to follow through on the good work they’ve begun.
It’s very appropriate. In some communitities there are women who have taken their lives after aborting and there are women who are being killed because they won’t abort. I think if the worse the pro-death camp faces is a little ridicule they will be getting off easy.
No sequitur warning.

Stephen Hawking: Abandon the Earth

(CANVAS STAFF REPORTS) – Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking has some advice for the people of Earth – it’s time to get off.
“I believe that the long-term future of the human race must be in space,” Hawking said to Big Think , a global forum that includes interviews with experts.
Two tunes immediately come to mind:
1. After the gold rush- Neil Young
‘Well I dreamed I saw the silver space ships flyin in the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children cryin and banners flyin all around the chosen ones,
All in a dream, all in a dream, the loading had begun,
They were flying mother nature’s silver seed to a new home in the sun……..’

2. Line em up- James Taylor

Start with the ‘chosen ones’ who believe that humans are nothig but a bag of biological juices destined to fall over and rot and return to nature and line them up first to board ’mother nature’s silver seeds to their new home in the sun’.
If and when the ‘chosen ones’ have got everything in order on their new home in the sun then they can send word back to us ‘less than equals’ and we will give their invitation all the consideration it deserves.
When one rogue reporter asked the ‘chosen ones’ how there were going to keep from burning up before they even got to their new home in the sun, one of their enlightened priestesses of political correctness replied, “Not to worry, we going at night.”
aloha, sianara, arividerci, adios, chau, bon voyage, don’t let the air tight hatch hit you in the b o on your way out.

We can just agree to disagree, Andrew.
Nice, but they could have done a better job. As soon as the daughter shouts out the truth, it’s pretty much over. They could have gone further with it, have the daughter play along, just to show how absurd the whole situation is:
Daughter: Is it a girl tissue or a boy tissue?
(Parents laugh)
Mom: Sweetie, tissues aren’t girls or boys. But right now, the doctor says… it’s a girl shaped tissue!
Daughter: Wow! I have a ba– I have a tissue that looks like a sister!
Mom: That’s right!
