"Protect our troops - from the womb to the war. What if the fetus you
were going to abort would grow up to be a soldier bringing democracy to
a godless dictatorship?"
I think it says something about the general state of the anti-abortion movement and who they have let speak for them that when I saw this unborn soldier ornament, I was fully prepared to believe that it was in fact being offered by a pro-life group in all earnestness.
In fact, as the site kindly explains in a "note to confused": "This is a real product, from a real site. The product is a satire, but it is also a real product - FOR SALE." Roger that. Ixnay on the free unborn soldier ornaments. And satire. Right. Of course.
Not a statement for the parental set to make though, I figure. Try explaining to your kid why this particular bit of satire is hanging on your tree between the snowflakes and little drummer boys . . . Ouch.
The only question is whether anyone who misses the satire is buying them in earnest. I guess they wouldn't likely be shopping at MissPoppy.com, purveyor of "the finest alternative Christian products to the saved and unsaved alike," including buttons that say "Jesus was so gay!" holy family rubber duckies, and bible tracts disguised as dropped wallets with cash sticking out.
