Promoting this in schools is okay, but showing President Obama's speech is indoctrination? Bzuh?
I'm also kind of bothered that they're using cupcakes to represent each unborn child -- cupcakes which you then eat? Isn't that vaguely cannibalistic? Can't you just pass out those stupid little fetus-feet pins like I used to get from church?
Just checking, but this is a satire site, right? It has to be. Some of the wording is too snarky to be real. Like this:
"The cake in their mouth will become dry and the moment will hopefully become quite somber."
"Invite some teenage girls over to bake the cupcakes then in your kitchen. Educate them about pregnancy and abstinence. Then challenge them to make cup cakes that represent how they feel about the unborn."
Then again, I'm probably just deluding myself in the frantic hope that This Couldn't Possibly Be an Actual Thing.
@jenniedee: Oh damn, I'm a teenage girl, and all I can say is if someone invited me to their house to bake cupcakes that "represent how I feel about the unborn" I'd probably laugh in their face and then eat their fetuscakes.
The clear solution is to set aside our Team Cake and Team Pie differences for a day. On Monday, bring in both Cake AND Pie. When someone asks whose birthday is it, you say everyone's, because when I don't force a dessert option upon you, everyone wins. You should probably bring in cookies too, just to be fair.
"In other words, something is a person if, by nature, it has the capacity to develop the ability to think rationally, express emotion, make decisions, etc."
But wait... if "thinking rationally" is what makes you a person, doesn't it logically follow then that whoever wrote this illogical drivel isn't really a person?
As for the "making decisions" part, doesn't it also follow that by stripping a woman of her choice on this matter you're depriving her of her humanity?
(I'm not going to even touch the fact that fetuses doing logic, getting emotional, and making decisions is a pretty lulzy concept, but considering what this person's definition of "logic" is I'm not surprised they think that...)
Then you answer. "It's no ones birthday. These cupcakes represent the 50,000,000 children who weren't allowed to be born, who never had a birthday"
Geez, what a buzzkill. How about something a little more upbeat & punny, like "It's no one's birthday. These cupcakes represent the fact that life begins at confection!"
@YourScreenplaySucks: Pro-life cupcakers are adamant that a mixture of beaten butter and sugar IS A viable cupcake and CANNOT be discarded without eternal consequences.
For all the Jezzie Trekkies out there: You know the episode with the android women who run on logic, who Spock manages to dismantle with contradictions?
I now know how they feel after reading that paragraph about "why fetuses are persons, and it's personal, and personalities, and stuff!" from Abort73. My brain just can't wrap its head around the extent of that logical epic phail. Too...much... circular...reasoning... Does...not...compute!
