"march together for life" steps on rake
Sometimes political comedy is nuanced and subtle, and other times a group called "March Together for Life" puts up a post called "Murder Without Conscience" in which they take serious issue with a seven-year-old Onion opinion piece entitled "I'm Totally Psyched About This Abortion!" Then six hundred people line up to kick them.
On another note, the subhead at the March Together for Life blog is
We will end abortion through our unity and the monthly call for life.Having had it spring to mind through no fault of my own, I am now desperately trying to un-think the notion that "monthly call for life" is their euphemism for periods.
UPDATE: A thousand and forty three people. I'm amazed that folks are still coming up with points that hadn't already been made in the first thousand comments, but there it is.

It's one thing for a Chinese newspaper to actually believe that Congress was voting on building a new Capitol Building with a retractable roof, and it's another to be fooled by a satirical article written in your native language.
Classic.

People have been getting duped by the Onion for years now. This old Wired article from '99 claims everyone from doctors to the "God Hates Fag" people have fallen for their headlines. More recently, wasn't there a sheriff's office somewhere the fell for an article about Al Qaeda?

Well, you can't argue that having regular monthly calls for life eliminates the need for abortions anyway.
