i was sitting on the bus this morning, on my way to work, when i spied an advert on the side of a passing tram. the advert was for a website called prochoice.com.au. oh!, i thought to myself. i know the atheist bus adverts were not permitted on australia's transport, so maybe they've moved on to a different battlefield.
but then i noticed the images in the ad. it featured hardware. pictures of tools - hammers, spanners, you know the type of thing. and i thought, oh!, maybe they're actually saying that if you are pro choice, this is how they perform abortions - with hammers and spanners and things!

i wonder if they realise the significance of the name they have chosen for themselves? it would be easy enough for a professional wanting to find the website of "the professional's choice in safety gear", so that they could choose some safety gear, and for them, when typing in the web address, to miss out the final ".au" of the address. they would then find themselves at prochoice.com, and could end up "helping women make informed choices" instead.
why would they choose that name? it baffles me.
