I found this HILARIOUS!!! Jaclyn, a new Abortion Gang blogger, writes about "Pro-Life Silly Bandz". Yes, there is such a thing, and you can find them at Heritage House.
The Indiana Right to Life county fair booth was actually distributing Pro-Life Silly Bandz. And upon further research, you can actually buy these things in bulk!
Silly Bandz are marketed primary towards pre-teens and adolescents.
I'll just say "DUH" to that... Jaclyn goes on to say:
As someone who has worked in the movement for many years, I’m no stranger to anti-choice propaganda for children, but how far is too far?
Well, let's see. How far is too far? Well, Planned Parenthood marketing sex to children is too far. Pro-lifer's market life. Pro-choicer's market sex, and killing the result of that sex with abortion. Life, sex, abortion. Which do you want to teach your child?
This is outright propaganda and a blatant attempt to exploit a harmless childhood trend for a political (and religious) cause.
Well, she has a point with that statement. Imagine, propagating the idea of LIFE with a bracelet. Genius! (You didn't miss the anti-Christian jab in her statement, did you?) These are the same people out to abort Ronald McDonald and the Happy Meal. Gee, I wonder what the survivors of pro-choice mothers eat and play with?
Jaclyn closes with this:
In one scene in the documentary “Jesus Camp,” children are shown playing with a series of plastic fetus models, their mouths covered with red tape with the word ‘life’ written across…..ultimately these children, some no more than eight years old, begin praying to overturn Roe v. Wade. With camps like these across the country, and parents and churches indoctrinating children before they are old enough to read, do we really need to add products like Pro-Life Silly Bandz into our lives? It’s just scary. What will they think of next? Needless to say, I will definitely be adding “Pro-Life Silly Bandz” to the list of things I will not be buying my nieces next year for Christmas.
Jaclyn should be told that Christmas begins with Christ. Somehow, I don't think she ever realized Christmas is, and has always been, a religious holiday. A religious holiday that celebrates the birth and life of Jesus Christ.

I say:
YEEEESSSS! GO KIDS! PRAY AWAY, AND MAY GOD HEAR AND ANSWER YOUR PRAYERS!

News flash for Jaclyn: This is a free country with freedom of speech and freedom of expression. This means that if enough of the public wants Pro-Life Silly Bandz, and someone is willing to provide it to them, they have every right to buy, sell, and have Pro-Life Silly Bandz. The same goes for whatever they think up next. That's what it's like to live in a free society with freedom of speech and expression. If you don't like it, move to North Korea.
There are all kinds of trendy and popular things out there that I think are appallingly ugly. But I don't have the right to ban them. Like the trend of putting skulls on everything. Clothes, T-shirts, hats, cars, seat covers, these are all things I've seen decorated with skulls, sometimes slightly misshapen skulls at that, or ones with leering expressions. UGLY! Ok, so I don't buy them. But other people like them (although I can't figure out why), so they buy them. They have the right to buy and have them whether I like them or not. Again Jaclyn, that's freedom of expression in our country.
ReplyDeletethese are AWESOME I want them!!!! lol
ReplyDeleteCecilia - Yes, imagine 8 yr olds praying about anything, much less overturning Roe. It's an awesome concept. :)
ReplyDeleteDolce - Ha! They are cute aren't they. :)
As someone who has worked in the movement for many years, I’m no stranger to anti-choice propaganda for children, but how far is too far? (Shockingly, a search for “Pro Choice Silly Bandz” yielded no results.)
ReplyDelete…that’s because you usually allow your children to be born and not kill them in utero before you buy gifts for them. There’s really no market for silly bands for dead children.
Xalisae - IF there were such a thing as “Pro Choice Silly Bandz”, what shapes would they be in? Arms, legs, maybe a ribcage?
