The onion - beyond satire?

What are your thoughts on this article posted at The Onion? If you're not aware, The Onion is a news satire site. The articles are completely untrue and only for entertainment purposes. Click the link below to see the article and let me know what you think:

I'm Totally Psyched About This Abortion!

In my opionion, this goes beyond satire. The way the article is written would seem to indicate that an agenda is definitely being veiled within this piece. An example:

"The funny thing is, I actually have the pro-life movement to thank for this opportunity. If my HMO wouldn't have bowed to their pressure not to cover oral contraceptives, I never would've gotten pregnant in the first place."

Although this is thinly veiled in satire, I think we can all tell what the views of the author are.

A quick search for "Abortion" on The Onion reveals many more questionable articles.

They have every right to publish these articles, but I just wanted to point out to my readers that we need to be careful what we accept in terms of entertainment. Be sure to talk to your teenagers about things such as this so that they will understand your beliefs and why you believe what you do. Please help them realize that their are things that should not be joked about, and that these are serious issues.

My first blog post... well officially my second

Well,
I've finally decided to start blogging. I would say that this is my first blog post, but to be honest, I did post once before on my myspace site. I never really liked to write and my life isn't that interesting, so I didn't think anyone would be interested in what I have to say, but hey, who knows. Maybe it will be good for me to "express myself".

I am a subscriber to several pro-life newsletters and more than once I have found myself moved to tears when I hear about what is being done to babies (a.k.a. Fetuses) hundreds of times a day. Some day soon, I hope that I can do more with my life to help educate people on what is really happening, and be able to intelligently discuss abortion with people. I really do feel a passion for the lives of these potential adults. Just imagine that if your mom had been convinced to make a different decision, than you would not be here reading this. You would have never met your family or your friends and been able to enjoy this life that God has given you. Though things in this world may be stressful at times, you should count yourselves considerably blessed to be alive.

Enough of that. I just want to let you know that I plan on posting information of interest to those who are concerned about abortion and have a love for the future generation and do not want to see them murdered. Please subscribe to my blog and hopefully I won't disappoint.
