This is an Awareness Test

I generally don't like to give websites like this more traffic than they deserve, but this is just too good not to pass along: http://www.guysforlife.org/. Watch the video (now - do it!) and then come back and read the rest of this post.

Ok got it??

So just one question - did you see the moonwalking bear?

This group - Guys for Life - thinks that the moonwalking bear "hidden" in the video is similar to the 650,000 men in the US who encourage impregnated loved ones to get an abortion. Their website says of these men, "No one is looking for them either - and like the moonwalking bear - they're weaving their way in and out of society in plain view, yet no-one sees them." Makes sense right? Right..

Just for the sake of argument - and mostly just to continue a completely absurd analogy - let's consider this example of the basketball passes and the moonwalking bear. I propose that if this scenario is really going to be applied to the fight for reproductive rights, it would look a little more like the following: anti-choicers are trying everything they can imagine to distract you - i.e. counting the number of passes the white team makes. But all the while, the real need for reproductive freedom is there staring us in the face - or in this case, it's moonwalking in a bear costume across a stage. So let's not let these schemes fool us - we have to remain vigilant for the moonwalking bear!
