\"\"<\/a>Breitbart.com\u2019s Susan Berry reports<\/a> on one of the pro-abortion movement\u2019s more colorful fundraising ideas in recent memory: the National Network of Abortion Funds\u2019 third annual National Abortion Access Bowl-a-Thon. Unfortunately, in this case, \u201ccolorful\u201d means \u201ccompletely tasteless\u201d:<\/p>\n

If you choose to bowl instead of golf to support abortion, you can opt to be on one of many\u00a0teams<\/a>\u00a0with names like, Bowlin\u2019 for \u2018Bortions, Kiss Our Uter-Ass, If Only Limbaugh\u2019s Mom Used Birth Control, No Rosaries On My Ovaries, and teams that contain names for women\u2019s private parts that only Bill Maher feels comfortable saying. Did we hear a certain incumbent president talk about civility once?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Other (relatively safe for work) highlights include \u201ccoat hangers,\u201d \u201cHyde Strikers,\u201d and the \u201cAbowlifacients.\u201d And yes, the organizers approve of<\/a> all these \u201cbrilliant\u201d names. Also NNAF-approved? Bowling in costume as sexed-up priests and nuns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But if you think that\u2019s the most offensive part, you ain\u2019t seen nothin\u2019<\/em> yet:<\/p>\n

[I]f you are more of the \u201cserious\u201d type abortion fan, you can participate by contributing to the\u00a0George Tiller Memorial Abortion Fund<\/a>, which provides funding for women seeking \u201clater abortion care.\u201d George Tiller appears to be held up as a patron saint, if that term is permitted, at NNAF, which offers this statement of Dr. Tiller\u2019s on its website as inspiration: \u201cAbortion is about women\u2019s hopes and dreams. Abortion is a matter of survival for women.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lamenting a death and condemning a murder are one thing, but does NNAF really want to link their credibility to a man whose career was defined by<\/a> performing late-term abortions for minors as young as ten and letting their rapes go unreported? Tiller was murdered; therefore, we have to pretend he wasn\u2019t a killer who was MIA when sexually abused children needed someone to stand up for them?<\/p>\n

Lastly, here\u2019s the cherry topping off this sundae of shame:<\/p>\n

NNAF receives funding from more than several tax-exempt\u00a0foundations<\/a>, among them the Jessie Smith Noyes Foundation which has funded ACORN and the Tides Foundation and Tides Center.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We never hear the end of how churches need to keep their mouths shut about politics lest they endanger their tax-exempt status, but tax-exempt groups on the other side can donate to the most radical, brazenly partisan organizations on the block? Personally, I\u2019m not particularly fond of tax-exempt statuses in general – to me, it smacks too much of trying to buy organizations\u2019 silence – but can we have a little consistency here, please?<\/p>\n

These details help give us a clearer picture of the pro-choice psyche: rather than wanting abortions to be \u201csafe,\u201d they lionize one of the industry\u2019s most dangerous icons. Rather than wanting them \u201crare,\u201d they deem them a positive good through jovial names. Rather than respecting differing beliefs, they see organized religion as an enemy to be mocked. And rather than advocating sexual responsibility, their vulgarity indicates a flippant casualness regarding their view of sex – not exactly the impression NNAF\u2019s more PR-savvy colleagues usually like to project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
