    Eh, …are these people for real?
    I can’t decide if I should be disgusted or horrified. ..Or laughing my tail off.
    They don’t sound like real-world people. That whole bit about “government should be responsible for my baby” or “becoming a father should not mean I must become a dad”, surely people haven’t adopted such attitudes?? …I thought we had sex education precisely to teach kids to use condoms and whatnot to prevent unwanted pregnancies??
    Surely these are intended to be merely outrageous caricatures of people??
    They look at least 22, yet sound about…10.
    By these attitudes, these people should not be allowed on a playground without mommy and daddy watching them, never mind allowed to drink a beer in a bar, drive a car, or vote.

    Jflare29, sheez man, it’s a parody of a certain set of leftwing views of abortion and sex.

    These are so brilliant, thank you for sharing them, Father.

    Dear jflare29 – one often hears of such reactions, but do you really not get irony?! Or are you a glorious double-bluff, and I’m not getting your irony?!

  7. jflare29 says:

    Uh huh. Irony requires an presenting an idea different from–even opposite to–what I expect, parody requires..being funny.
    Where these present the usual pro-choice arguments, they certainly aren’t ironic. Where they make fools of people, they’re only darkly parody. ..I often avoid that.
    They do present vigorously exaggerated versions of peoples’ attitudes, so they might manage tragic satire.
    I can’t laugh about them very long and I don’t think the pro-choice side will respond at all, except maybe with rage.
