SoCons Out-FREEP Libs: Abortion Stays Legal

Flanders has the story:

CBC's Great Canadian Wish Contest is now over. At the time of this writing, the "Abolish Abortion" wish was ahead by over 1500 votes. The results of the first five wishes at 12:00am, Sun. July 1 were as follows:

9543 Abolish Abortion in Canada
8008 I wish that Canada would remain pro-choice


But wait, nothing happened! Apparently CBC devoted a couple of seconds of broadcast time to the result around 7:30 am, between kids cartoons, inspiring an angry Flanders to threaten to never again watch a station he claims never to watch. All the prayers, all the fasting, added up to squat doodly! Abortion's still legal! The Rapture has not descended!

Meanwhile, Suzanne tries to explain why its so important for Evangelicals to rule Facebook: its apparently like a little corner of Heaven in cyberspace.

In fairness, here is the Campaign Life news release describing the great victory.

BabyKillers Up By Six Votes!

According to Judi McLeod of CanadaFreePress:

As of right now in real time, abortion supporters have the number one spot in the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC)/Facebook Wish Contest. The wish for Canada to remain pro-choice has 7,054 supporters. The wish to abolish abortion in Canada has 7,048.

Contest ends on July 1st, and you will know participants by the repetitive stress injuries on their index fingers from multiple voting.

Of course I would never demean myself by actually casting a ballot in one of these childish pseudo-contests, but my good buddy Galactus loves 'em, and I may send him over to Facebook to offer a few dozen votes. But here's the thing: when babies die, Galactus cries.

SoCon's Complaint: You Freep Better Then We

From the "who the hell gives a crap?" department, it looks like the CBC's Canadian Wish List Facebook competition has turned into a knock 'em down, drag 'em out, Apocalymundo-style clash between Pro and Anti Abortion forces, with the SoCons attempting to establish "abolishing abortion" as the #1 wish of Canadians.

Ned Flanders over here claims that all "heck" has broken loose since Pro-choice types proved move adept at Freeping the poll than Pro-life types. But in his comments section it is now being reported that the Pro-Lifers have redoubled their efforts and taken the lead once again... at what cost, however? Their SOULS, perhaps?

It seems our people have started cheating, so now we have lost the moral high ground, and a chance to expose them for the fraud they are.

Now both sides look bad.

And my message to both sides of this faintly hilarious "struggle" for Facebook supremacy is the same message I delivered to those guys who dressed as Klingons to meet a planeload of Trekkies at Pearson Airport: "Get a life, you pathetic Nerds! You're making me embarrassed to be a human!"
