Ok, I have been taking a long break doing some freelance web design and programming but I’m back now. While catching up on news feeds I ran across the video below by Jill at Feministe (who found it at Trailer Park Feminist). I found the video to be pretty silly and slightly disturbing, but nothing that needed my input.
Well, I just decided to take a break from writing code and saw this from Jessica at Feministing titled “Who knew I had a box for a uterus?”. This post prompted me to write because as everyone who watches SNL knows; of course your uterus is a box.
So here is the silly baby in a box video. While watching try and figure out the point they are trying to make. My wife and I have talked and my opinion is that they are saying either a) if there is a baby in a box leave it there for 9 months or until God gets it out; or b) if there is a baby in a uterus get it out as fast as possible before it gets loaded on the truck and shipped out to china or wherever boxes full of babies go. So what do you think?
Ok, now here is irrefutable proof that your uterus, and other miscellaneous woman parts, is (are?) a box.
Any questions?

What a silly and revolting video from insidecatholic.com. Like William I understand the message they are trying to send but keep wracking my brain on why you would leave a baby in a damn box. This reduces women to containers, which really is a succinct analogy of the anti-choice position. Crazy.

Um … what the hell was that? No mention of the words “abortion”, “termination”, or pregnancy.
Also, what’s this line they’re trying to draw between “an unborn child” and “a baby”?
The distinction I make is between a partially-defined parasitic blob of multiplying cells and a baby. But that doesn’t make for cutsie video.

Yeah, I really have no idea. I would think that with the growing evidence against their position they could come up with something better than a baby in a box.
