My 14-year-old daughter looked at it, too. She doesn’t think it’s funny, either. ---

Mark Thomas, a comedian/activist, made the same joke in a funnier way - I paraphrase from memory: > [@](#): > > People say I’m pro-abortion. I’m not. I’m pro-choice. If I was pro-abortion, I’d be demonstrating outside ante-natal clinics, shouting “Get rid of it! It’ll crash your car and steal your money to buy drugs!!” ---

Just plain old not funny. ---

Not funny enough. A couple of the quotes on the front page were funny; I didn’t care to read much further. I imagine that a really sharp satirist could make a funny site on this topic, but whoever’s behind this one just isn’t clever enough. It’s just heavy-handed, totally obvious propaganda. ---

Yes. I got a little chuckle out of it. But then, my sense of humor responds well to sick jokes and flogging dead horses, so… ---

I don’t think it’s funny, it’s trying to make a point, but I \*totally \* disagree with the fact that it can’t be a funny subject. Everything can and must be funny at some point; it’s the only thing that keeps us humans sane. ---

It’s funny, but only as self-parody. As satire, it’s thick-headed and dumb. ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > It’s funny, but only as self-parody. As satire, it’s thick-headed and dumb. Which is to say: if a friend of mine said these things, I might find them fall-down funny. The fact that anti-abortion zealots might be saying it takes some of the humor out. ---

No. I see where it was going, but it just doesn’t deliver. ---

“I lost a bet” made me laugh. The rest, not funny at all. ---

It doesn’t seem to have much of the funny. It’s difficult, IMO to make extremely sensitive subjects funny. ---

Not funny. And it didn’t provoke any thoughtful reflection about the subject matter and so also not a successful attempt at satire. And I have a really dark sense of humor. ---

One or two somewhat funny items, overall made less funny by its general odor of right-wing stealth strawman propaganda, or whatever the correct term for this sort of thing would be. ---

According to the domain registry information, the same person runs [this website](http://www.flymf.com). His info can be found [here.](http://www.flymf.com/Nickhome.htm). From that info I would say stupid, unfunny, and juvenile, but not the product of a stealth marketing campaign by the fundies.
