GREAT NEWS! Now There’s A Comedy Play All About Abortion!

Bonus: It’s even a musical!

According to this, a theater production group in Philadelphia that’s decided it would be SUPER AWESOME to put on a play that focuses on the wonders and fun of abortion!

Singing and dancing about baby murder. Doesn’t that sound like a fantastic night at the theater?

“We were going with ‘Fetus Chorus,’” explains co-creator Alice Yorke, pictured below. “But there were a lot of mixed feelings about it. The best comment we got was, ‘I understand you want to provoke your audience, but do you want to do that in the theater or before they even get there?’”

The abortion musical has its roots at the Pig Iron School for Advanced Performance Training, where Yorke and the co-creators studied. Yorke says it was there that she developed a character of an “irate gun-toting fetus running around and shouting about how it would kill anyone who tried to hurt it.”

The actors in the production portray fetuses (heaven forbid they call them “babies”) and Yorke even says flat-out that they are taking a pro-choice slant with this with the intent of making audience

“We’re definitely, as makers, on one side,” Yorke admits. “But we’re trying to ride a funny line. This isn’t self-congratulatory. I want us to examine why we feel this way. I want people to reckon with themselves. This is a show about personhood, the right to bodily autonomy, and the violence of the partisan politics that surrounds this issue.”

“Bodily autonomy,” huh? No regard for the bodily autonomy of the children who are aborted in the name of preserving the “autonomy” of the parents who can’t be bothered to take care of the child that they’re responsible for – whether that’s keep the child to raise themselves, or give the child up for adoption for one of the many couples who are looking to adopt.

Also, you don’t get much more violent than an abortion doctor ripping a baby’s body into pieces and throwing in the trash (or selling it for spare parts – whatever’s more profitable).

I get it. Art is supposed to make you think and reflect on the human condition. I just find it hypocritical to suggest that the most innocent and helpless of human beings don’t deserve the same opportunity.
