I love subversive humor, and this story is no exception, especially in cases of rape and incest, from the Huffington Post:
A reproductive health care provider in central Wisconsin was surprisingly prepared Wednesday to be picketed by anti-contraception group 40 Days For Life.
Tiffany Bredeck, a board member of Family Planning Health Services (FPHS) in Wausau, Wis., dressed up in a stork costume, whipped out a clever sign and stood on the sidewalk outside the FPHS headquarters alongside the protesters.

Earlier this year, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker cut $1 million from Planned Parenthood , forcing the closure of four Planned Parenthood facilities in the state as a result, and forcing women in those areas to have to travel greater distances for services placing an unnecessary burden on their personal economies and general welfare.
On their website, the 40 Days For Life people state their mission:
We are praying that, with God’s help, this groundbreaking effort will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in our city — and throughout America.
I wonder if God knows that cutting family planning services actually increases the chances for unwanted and unplanned pregnancies? Or that cutting funding for any sort of healthcare safety net in their respective Wingnut-controlled states, like denying Medicaid funds while seeking to repeal The Affordable Care Act for the 4oth time to fund some national abstinence-only program, is really just a sadistic means to a circular-attack on women and their right to privacy that includes no exceptions for rape and incest?
So much for freewill, Sister.
Next time the religious right wackaloons tell you that you can’t abort their precious immaculate Jesus babies, just tell them that “the Devil is inside you” and there’s no way in hell you’re giving birth to the next anti-Christ!
Can’t argue with that logic.
