As Evening Star noted, Michael Medved has wondered whether the chocolates will be shaped like aborted fetuses.

Some intrepid candy factory saboteurs should spike these chocolates with fertility drugs.

They probably already are, my friend.

Think about it: The customers are all pro-choicers, so if they find themselves inconveniently pregnant, they will head right for the abortion clininc. "Nice doing business with you, ma'am."

Here in the states the magazine Consumer Reports tested condoms and found that the ones from Planned Parenthood had a very high failure rate, much higher than the other samples. The abortion industry does whatever it can to encourage business.

No offense, but if you watched any more than a couple of episodes of Picket Fences, you had to know something was up.

"1 evening of utter decadence all supporting a woman's right to choose..."

How apropo. No, this is not a joke. Jokes are funny.

This is not funny. This is sick.

This is even more bizarre than those patriotic, family-oriented ads they were running a few years ago - middle-America, grandma, grandpa, kicks on a swing, "America the Beautiful" playing in the background...I kept wondering what any of that had to do with abortion, just like I'm wondering now what chocolate has to do with it.

"Gee, let's all get together and gorge ourselves on chocolate, and talk about ripping babies from the womb! Good times...good times."

I swear they live in some kind of parallel universe.

NARAL Pro-Choice Washington is accepting donations of deserts from Pastry Chefs.

And here I thought pastry chefs specialized in desserts.
