'Eunice the Uterus' Puppet Draws Attention to 'The Abortion Desert' From Idaho to the Dakotas
Newsbusters ^ | December 15, 2014 | Melissa Mullins

So apparently there’s a uterus puppet going around the country making videos about abortion clinics and lack thereof. Yes, there’s a puppet named Eunice, and she’s a sad uterus.

Hans Johnson from JillStanek.com found this great little gem and we just had to share. He wrote:

In the “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up” category comes a video called “The Abortion Desert.” Taking a cue from the idea of “food deserts” - a lack of urban grocery stores – the abortion lobby group Lady Parts Justice nervously brings attention to the dwindling number of abortion clinics.

For a serious subject, it’s an oddly sophomoric presentation (produced by Lizz Winstead, the formerly comedic co-creator of The Daily Show) which features a uterus puppet and a shirtless Chippendales dancer… er, “cowboy.”

They claim to be “a national movement using humor & outrage to remove bodily autonomy-hating local politicians in 2014 & beyond.” Failing at both, they are being bested by many pro-life groups that find nothing funny in this, and balance their outrage with caring for both mother and child (does that make us “Baby Parts Justice”?

The video clip shows Eunice the Uterus making the “hard journey” between the western borders of Idaho to eastern borders of North and South Dakota, trying to find an abortion clinic. (You can count the number of them on two hands.) In the video, Eunice “traces the steps so many have been forced to take because of lack of community access, insurance or means. The journey of Eunice will show just how dangerous restrictive abortion laws are, and remind us that poor rural women and women of color are often forgotten by politicians and always are the ones to suffer the most when access to affordable health care is removed from vulnerable..

“...something about cold climates which develop gorgeous skin.”

Maybe it is lack of intense sunshine...

How about Cletus the Dismembered Fetus to remind everyone WHY there are a dwindling number of abortionariums.

If Jeff Dunham needs a new character, it has potential.

Looks like she had a low-transverse cesarean and the doc forgot to suture it.

Reminds me of when my husband was cleaning fish and would get his fingers inside the lower jaw and make the fish "talk" for the kids. "HI! My name is Charlie, and I'll be your dinner tonight."

Kids thought it was hilarious, but then they were 8 and 10 at the time.

It is part of it, but Idaho has a lot more sunshine than, say, Massachusetts or New York or other places with cold climates.

I think it is more a combination of the clean air and Godly lifestyles.

I think your link is maybe a little off, or they killed the original page?

Seemed like it (once?) contained some interesting stuff.

gajin had trouble with the link.

I will check it out. Here is another shot at it:

Here is a brilliant essay by Daniel Greenfield that comes to the same conclusion:

Why do feminists and leftists LOVE to throw female anatomy terms in your face? “Vagina Dialogues” “Uterus Puppet” They ENJOY revolting people why? Why do they savor shock? It’s gross, sure, I know that. But there is something behind this, some form of logic.

They enjoy it because they are perverts. But the process is called "acclimatization" or "normalization." It's the process by which atrocity is made familiar, thus lessening the revulsion rejection of the subject and making it easier to accept psychologically.

Hollywood uses it all the time. For an excellent example, read - do not watch - what that utter bastard Brad Pitt enacts in current movie "Fury," where the name of playing an American soldier in WWII, he uses his fame and popularity to teach that American soldiers are psychotic, cowardly, murdering monsters from hell who are literally worse than Nazis.

Every trick in the book is used to get you to emotionally accept this message as "fact" or "truth" - necessity, reality, manhood, your own resistance to it played out by a character designed to embody the audience, etc.

It's the blackest evil, especially since its being done now to specifically normalize Islamic atrocities, and portray our own vets as violent, deranged psychotics.

That's why Leftists are extremely sensitive to it being used against their own. That's why they scream and attack pro-life protestors who show pictures of aborted fetuses. Because they know damn well the powerful effect those pictures have in destroying the normalization narrative they've set up for abortion.

"Bodily autonomy-hating"? They're doing for the English language what they want to do to the unborn.

To call this sophomoric would be to insult sophomores. Eunice the Puppet Uterus on a lonely quest across the "abortion desert" to find a human abattoir? There are spiders crawling around in the brain of whomever came up with that one.

Yeah, because the idea that Hollywood uses long established psychological techniques to manipulate their audiences is simply absurd.

LOL
