WASHINGTON – In an ironic twist, Planned Parenthood, the health care and industry-leading abortion provider, has joined some of its longtime pro-life antagonists in condemning a Florida jury’s decision to acquit Tot Mom Casey Anthony of murdering her daughter, despite a mountain of evidence to the contrary. While the organization may find itself in agreement with some of its archenemies on the issue of the promiscuous procreator’s alleged actions, it took a very different path in getting there. According to a statement it released, Planned Parenthood believes “This case sets a dangerous precedent. If women can so easily be acquitted of murdering their own children, the very viability of one of our important operating divisions is threatened.” Although abortion is not the firm’s core business, the controversial procedures reportedly account for up to 15 percent of its annual revenues, and analysts who follow the company warn that layoffs and other painful cost cutting moves would be necessary should that
Pro-abortion activists protest the legalization of ex-utero child slayings sector of its business plan be shuttered. “No one saw this verdict coming,” said Abbey Krill, an attorney for Planned Parenthood. “Don’t quote me on this, but the Casey Anthony verdict could be to abortions what the automobile was to horse and buggies.” Legal experts say there is little the agency can do besides making an effort to influence future juries. In fact, Krill confirmed its lobbyists are going to do just that, along with an education campaign aimed at would-be child killers. “We’re going to push for a number of things,” she said. “IQ tests for jurors, laws requiring the prosecution’s case to be translated into coloring books that are easier for simple-minded jurors to understand – there are several avenues we’re exploring on Capitol Hill.” “This is very important for women’s rights,” she added. “We need to raise awareness that abortion is still and always the safer option. We remind women that it’s still technically illegal to murder your child – you never know when they’ll start enforcing that again. “Your prosecutor might beat the odds – it only takes one juror with intelligence and courage to derail your acquittal, and we’re going to be out on the streets stressing that to women.”
Classically, satire is not about humor but a technique to bring about change. When Swift wrote A Modest Proposal he did not intend for his audience to laugh at the prospect of roasting and eating Irish babies. Swift intended to bring about change by making people feel very uncomfortable about what is really happening. That is exactly what this piece of satire is doing.
They had a satirical piece about the U.S. diplomatic efforts to exchange “Snooki” for convicted murderer Amanda Knox.
They were trying to be funny about Planned Parenthood and abortion. In my opinion, they failed.
With current technology, and websites like Urban Dictionary, redefining the meaning of words can occur at twitter speed. Good satire should contain elements of humor.
Not for the baby.

It’s not murder. It’s a self-induced, extremely late term abortion.
Girls just wanna have fun.
“I call it a total birth abortion...with the right language, Obama would sign it into law.”
And a large campaign contribution from his Planned Parenthood pals.
And the alternate juror who spoke to the press said the prosecution couldn’t provide a MOTIVE that would help the jury convict....
Unbelievable!
Or a post-birth abortion.
Or you could ask the question...how safely can we kill you?
