The Inevitable, Boring and Predictable Coathanger Prop
— Dave in Texas

A legislative bill that suggests, hey can we maybe after 5 months of a pregnancy, think about alternatives that aren't abortion? Oh, and in the interests of womens' health and maybe not letting women die in charnel houses like the one Kermit Gosnell ran with their filth, disease spreading carelessness, with unqualified workers administering drugs and other necessary "health care thingys"? ("Thingys" was about as deep as it got for some of these highly trained professionals).

Not to mention pickled baby parts.

The argument from those who politely demur, is the ever-popular time tested coat hanger prop.

Well coat hanger pics is phoning it in. Take a look at some of the photographic evidence from Kermit's little shop of horrors and remind me you are terribly concerned about the health of women. And want to preserve this to keep them healthy and all.

And stop screaming "vagina" to me too. I don't like that word (I'm clearly on the record here), it's just annoying and as politically played as the "waaaaazup" guys selling beer.

Get some new material. Maybe jars of picked baby parts, that's pretty goddamned horrible.

UPDATED: Commenter McGregor suggests sporks on a stick. I'd give it points for being at least a little more creative.

7 I never did really did understand how a coat hanger caused an abortion and how exactly it was used, although I've been hearing that line for 40 some years. I know someone who had an abortion in the 1940's. No coat hanger was used and abortion wasn't legal then.

27 Amazing that the only industry the Left will not regulate is abortion, aka their black sacrament. Zero tolerance for ibuprofen in school but abortion pills without parental consent. Sometimes I think they are working their way up to genocide. Just add more trimesters.

So, taking their point to the logical conclusion, if they ban abortions after the 5th month, except for medical emergencies, then women will take coat hangers and eject the babies themselves?

Can someone please explain to me why these women weren't able to avail themselves of their abortion rights in the previous 4 months?

36 I tweeted this a few days ago when a friend told me, and it's still true today, Planned Parenthood is just a slight step up from coat hangers with waiting rooms. They constantly argue against rules and inspections and so you end up with Gosnell.

43 Planned Parenthood recently spoke at the Girl Scouts convention (and yes, I've mentioned this before).

One "mother" spoke up proudly, and told the girls that the first thing she thought of when she discovered she was pregnant with triplets, was "How can I get rid of one of them?"

She ended up aborting two babies, and was roundly applauded.

I'm having issues with a son or daughter who would celebrate knowing your mother took out two of your siblings, and you could have easily been one.

48 No joke: the muffler on my pickup broke loose in the back and started dragging. I pulled up next to a nearby dry cleaning store and tried to buy a coat hanger so I could wire it back up. They had no idea what I was talking about. Of course, they were all from India, but what resulted was hilarity. "We don't have those." "Yes you do, I'm looking at one." "What are these things coathangers?" yada yada. Finally said, "What you kill babies with." "Aaaaah, one of those!" That was two years ago. Still got my muffler hanging by that abortifacient, proud to say!

Posted by: Cowboy at July 09, 2013 05:49 PM (FMrA0)

49 I don't understand. The left is saying if we ban abortion in the 6th month of pregnancy ... then the leftist women are threatening to stab their baby with a coathanger? Are they trying to demonstrate how evil and cruel they are? How is this coathanger prop supposed to convince me I'm morally wrong? I think the coathanger prop worked better before ultrasounds were so common. We know it's a baby they are threatening to stab with a coathanger. They just look like heartless monsters holding up a coathanger, vowing to kill viable babies.

53 If Vaginas were guns, I would resent the 30-day waiting period even more, but the price would be very appealing. Also, you could have a collection, but the State would say you had to keep them in a security cabinet when not in use. I guess that would be, umm, when you were driving to the store for more vaginas. I could get a permit to carry one with me, in case I suddenly needed it. A bunch of political activists would dress their children as cows and march in favor of banning vaginas, which would make about the same amount of sense as current events. You could find hundred-year-old vaginas in perfect working order, and they would be collectors' items. Action movies would be even more interesting.

When I was a kid, they were prosecuting people for having been falsely accused of doing that ritually, by the score, only to have to let them off years later because it turned out to be a spate of grandiose lies. Now, people cheer. Is incomprehensible. I'm all for leaving well enough be, especially in crowd settings, but I would not have been able to shut up there. She killed two of her children and people are giving her a standing ovation? How about let's have Charles Manson speak at the next Girl Scout meeting?

Posted by: Bertram Cabot Jr. at July 09, 2013 05:56 PM (OgQih)

59 The logic behind the use of the wire hanger always seems odd to me. The instrument is used to murder a baby in the womb and most likely cause massive damage to the women using it, in essence the wire hanger they're propping up is a murder weapon. It's like seeing a bunch of leftists protest the NRA by holding up rifles... such and odd thing to symbolize.

Posted by: Sean at July 09, 2013 06:05 PM (IQ81y)

60 To clarify, I'm not equating a rife to a murder weapon, only the leftist logic in believing that just being in possession of a rifle makes one a potential murderer.

Posted by: Sean at July 09, 2013 06:06 PM (IQ81y)

61 I saw that too -- awful. In actuality, the bill would prevent coat hanger operations or dirty death traps like Gosnell.

Of course the truth doesn't matter. Funny how the media is ignoring it too...only until a better sound byte comes along.
