LOST: One FetusMobile

Everyone wants to know. What the heck happened with the Fetusmobile Gore Tour's Grand Finale?

They had Big Plans (bold in original).

After crossing the country to Toronto, the New Abortion Caravan will end in Ottawa, where politicians and the public will be forced to face the shattered bodies of Canadian children they have failed so badly.

It will be a Canada Day to remember.

Not all Canadians are recognized as the intrinsically valuable human beings that they are. We cannot—we will not—rest until the pre-born are acknowledged as having the same right to life as the born. Using historical precedent while exposing an undeniable injustice, the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform's New Abortion Caravan will save lives.

It will force Canadians to reconsider the value of the pre-born child, launching abortion into the media while rallying and uniting the pro-life faithful.

We will EndtheKilling, and we will end it in our lifetime.

That's a lotta 'forcing', innit?

Here's a press release.

The group's schedule is as follows:
Saturday, June 30, 2pm: Special delivery to 24 Sussex Drive
Sunday, July 1, 11am-5pm: Abortion signs in front of Parliament Hill
Monday, July 2, 7:30pm: Public presentation, Greenbelt Baptist Church, 839 Shefford Rd, Ottawa

But LifeShite reports:

On Sunday July 1, the group of 25 activists, with an average age of 24, were demonstrating with their large graphic signs near Parliament Hill. Thereafter they hand-delivered postcards bearing graphic images directly to homes across the city. The city’s highways were also treated to the images courtesy of the group’s roaming truck.

Not 'in front of' Parliament Hill. 'Near' Parliament Hill. OK, then.

Mrozek and Dr Dawg attended the evening church event. Mrozek's bit has more about the protesters than the Gore Tour and Dr Dawg confirms that the Fetusmobile did NOT make an appearance at the finale.

So where is the truck? (And was there only one? Some 'caravan'.) Where's the crowing about success? Where's the forcing now, hmmm?

On Twitter, JJ asked about the truck and, being something of a backyard mechanic, offered to have a look at it if it had broken down.

But we think she's got it right with this.

What happened to the #fetusmobiles? Maybe they didn't break down - maybe they're being stripped of all the ugly for the long drive home

Yep. It'll be a long trip back to Hicksville.

Just like Woodworth's Wank (M312), this genius notion was a MASSIVE waste of time and money.

Added by deBeauxOs. I follow @vickyatclc who tweeted live from the event; she posted some great photos, such as this one.

I walked around the downtown core, near the Byward Market on July 1st and I didn't see the Whingebago. Very few families groups heading for the Hill. Perhaps word got out about the graphic images being forced on the public, and people not being allowed onto our Parliament grounds by Harper's security goons.

BONUS: JJ helps in the search.

Vancouver Canucks on Board with Gore Tour?

Oh dear. Seems like someone closely associated with another NHL team has stepped in the fetushist cowpie.

Mark Donnelly is an opera singer based out of Vancouver, but he's perhaps best-known as the Canadian anthem singer at Vancouver Canucks games. The tenor has been leading the Rogers Arena crowd in his stirring renditions of "O Canada" for years, and he's become a recognizable local figure for it. He's very closely linked to the team, listed on the Canucks' website under Game Entertaiment Performers and often touted as "Canucks anthem singer Mark Donnelly" in commercials and at other Vancouver events.

That in mind, one has to wonder how the team feels that their noted anthem singer has also decided to become closely associated with the New Abortion Caravan, a group of trucks with 7-foot tall and 22-foot long billboards adorned with graphic abortion imagery that will be driving across Canada beginning this week.

On Tuesday, he sang the anthem at their launch on the steps of the Vancouver Art Gallery.

Yup. There is he is. Nice images for a family-friendly sports franchise eh?

This is what he had to say before he sang:

"I'd just like to say. There's a lot of Canadians, both born and unborn, and this is for all of us, for everyone out here too and all of Canada.
Remember if we can't discuss things rationally, then we're not Canadians, we have to be able to talk."

Doesn't sound like the sharpest knife in the drawer, does he?

But trading on his local celebrity to help launch an anti-abortion campaign in Crunchy Granola Land?

Not cool.

Here's the Gore Gang he's now associated with. These are the people also behind the 'Genocide Awareness Project', which regularly causes ruckuses on university campuses. And of course, there's the infamous postcard campaign that mightily pissed off Calgarians last March.

Now, DJ!'s sports fans will remember the spot of bother the Ottawa Senators found themselves in when their 'Better Halves' (that would be wives and girlfriends) decided to play footsie with a lying Xian forced crisis pregnancy centre*.

So. How's this little stunt going over with fetishists?

SUZY thinks it will open a whole new market to the Message.

The New Abortion Caravan Makes the...Sports Page?

The guy who sings O Canada at the Vancouver Canucks' Game sang the anthem at the launch of the New Abortion Caravan. Yahoo Sports covered it.

Way to go Abortion Caravan. People who were never exposed to abortion issue were not made aware of it. Thumbs up.

(Um, I think SUZY's got an extra 'not' in there? Or is SHE being subtle?)

How about the fans?

Oh dear again.

Wow. Mark Donnelly (anthem singer for the @VanCanucks) sang O Canada at an anti-choice rallyPlease contact Nucks org and complain.

That would be the team's official Twitter account @VanCanucks.

In related news, you gotta follow @FetusCaravan, the blow-by-blow of the Gore Tour from inside the bus, so to speak. Hmm, the account seems to have undergone a staffing change. Related to this perhaps?

On the road again! The fetusmobile is crowded. Packed in like sardines, rubbing up against each other and and and ahhhhhhhhh !loiwsfpgh

Rest assured that DJ! will be following this.
