For the best of black humour…

August 2, 2011 by Andrea Mrozek 1 Comment

…I go to The Onion, America’s Finest News Source. (I love the fact that for a joke, satirical newspaper, you can pick it up on the street in boxes in Washington, D.C.)

The beauty is that they pick up on a strain of truth, so that the satire resonates:

During a press conference, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards told reporters that the new state-of-the-art fetus-killing facility located in the nation’s heartland offers quick, easy, in-and-out abortions to all women, and represents a bold reinvention of the group’s long-standing mission and values. Although we’ve traditionally dedicated 97 percent of our resources to other important services such as contraception distribution, cancer screening, and STD testing, this new complex allows us to devote our full attention to what has always been our true passion: abortion,” said Richards, standing under a banner emblazoned with Planned Parenthood’s new slogan, “No Life Is Sacred.” “And since Congress voted to retain our federal funding, it’s going to be that much easier for us to maximize the number of tiny, beating hearts we stop every day.”

Be sure to click on the map of the new enlarged facility. My fave there is the daycare space where “young children can play while their unborn siblings are being terminated elsewhere in the facility.”

    Hilarious! Yet truthful, just like good satire should be…this article reminded me of some of the abortion episodes of Six Feet Under involving Peter Krause’s character (such as meeting his aborted six year old daughter who says something like “no hard feelings, I’m pro-choice. Or at least, I would be, if I was alive”)
