Sick fucking liberals plan event for people to make fun of their abortions

[link to www.salon.com]


I don’t think abortion is funny.

That’s a weird thing for me to say, because on Saturday night, I’ll be at an event where women not only talk about their abortions, but make actual, literal fun of them.

And even though I’ve helped plan the show, a part of me did so reluctantly; abortion is a serious subject. No matter what side of the debate you fall on, it’s something that is so intensely personal and unique that I can’t imagine making light of it.

Right?

Maybe. Or maybe the Germans were onto something when they coined the phrase galgenhumor — gallows humor — the kind of dark humor sociologist Antonin Obrdlik referred to in the mid-twentieth century as “an index of strength or morale on the part of oppressed peoples.”
