In case you missed the most disturbing story ever
A women-only gym in Kansas, Body Boutique, is causing quite the uproar after putting up a fetus tree in the gym lobby.
Yeah, that's right--a frigging fetus tree. The tree was put up along with informational
pamphlets from a local anti-choice organization, Birthright of Lawrence.
The tree contained a dozen blue and pink stockings, each stuffed with a plastic figure and attached card that labeled the dolls as being “between 11 and 12 weeks old.”The tree also held coupons for Birthright videos, pamphlets and children’s clothes. Other coupons included savings on a video titled “After the Choice,” another video showing abortion procedures, a brochure on the morning-after pill and a card that offered quart-size, press-and-seal plastic bags.
Birthright of Lawrence intended that people take a figure home in exchange for a $5 donation.
Gym co-owner Lorinda Hartzler said she is unsure if she will keep the tree up; several women have already canceled their memberships in opposition. Ya think?
