In what has to be the stupidest idea the ACLU has ever had (and that’s really saying something) they ultra liberal organization is now encouraging women to incorporate their uterus. Yeah, that’s what I said. Incorporate their uterus.
The ACLU’s reason? Republicans only wanna’ tell women what to do while they always want to deregulate business. Aren’t they clever?
The Daily Caller writes”
So much for encouraging female entrepreneurship, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Florida is trying to get women to incorporate their uteri … or is it uteruses?
The Florida ACLU is hoping its push will get women to take control of their reproductive health and keep politicians from taking their abortion rights.
“Businesses get special treatment these days,” the group said. “If lawmakers and other politicians see your uterus and your body as a business, maybe they’ll work to get government out of the uterus regulation business as they do for every other company.”
Abortion advocates say that social conservatives in Florida are attempting to usurp women’s reproductive rights and that applying business terms to body parts will somehow help stop Republicans’ pro-life effort.
But the idea that Big Government never tells business what to do is a bit off. Uhm?
Won’t that lead to taxing women’s utereses? Environmental regulations to protect indigenous populations?
But maybe they could decide their uterus is too big to fail and they could have Obama take it over. Oh wait, they might actually like that. ick.
But hey maybe this isn’t such a bad idea. Maybe we could unionize babies in the womb. Give them some legal recourse to being expelled.
But in the end this is just ACLU stupidity. Or is that redundant?

The great irony will be the feminist groups defending the incorporating of women's sexual organs as a business and fail to see how ironic that really is.

Doesn't sound much different than legalized prostitution.
And would a guy who's married to a woman with an incorporated uterus…would be a corporate raider? An on-site contractor?

LarryD, I'd guess "customer", contractually obligated to purchase the product only from the one vendor.

You're not allowed to kill someone who is in your business at your invitation, even if you tried to make it so they couldn't stay; heck, in most states, renters have more rights than owners… even if they don't pay.

How can abortion be a "reproductive right?" If the Republicans were set to ban pregnancies (like the chinese do after the first child) or, say, to heavily tax them, one would understand the terminology.
As it is , this is the usual leftist doublethink or, better, the usual pathetic attempt to masquerade their murders with vague ideas of "reproduction".
A bit like calling a bunch of depressed, suicidal perverts, er, "gay".

Obviously then the children will need a union

Hmmm, seems like Planned Parenthood already treats women's uteruses as a business.

So I just tried sharing this article on Facebook and it wouldn't let me, saying that the article contains "previously blocked content that is abusive or spammy."

I couldn't share it either, but Fr Z has it embedded in his post and I could share that, I contacted FB…really, I see pictures and ads on FB more offensive than anything in this article.

A corporation is an artificial person (corpus – body) like a trust or an estate. However, a uterus is part of a natural person, just like my kidneys and is not a person unto itself. So, by definition it cannot be incorporated.
This is an absurd gimmick making a false association with the Conservatives concern for the person in the womb with their support for private enterprise. If such an association is to be made, it is more appropos for Planned Parenthood that profits with the slaughter of unborn, innocent children. The Right Wing does not profit for their birth.
But to us, there is more to life than profit. There are the God given rights of a person that cannot be taken away by a political party or a maniacal president.

If the uterus is a business, then it should be producing some product. However, the product that the uterus produces is babies. Since these businesses (uteri) are not producing then the government should give them an incentive to produce a better product. Instead the government, by funding Planned Parenthood, is paying to keep unproductive businesses afloat. Oh wait, that is what the government does anyway.

Bring it on!!! Employees have many more rights than the general population. This "uterus business" would need to provide a smoke-free environment with no alcohol. They would not be able to fire the "employee" for just floating around, and if they wanted to kick them out, they'd have to take more than 9 months to fill out the paperwork.
Also, it'd be easy to unionize the babies because under current regulation a non vote is a vote for the union. 🙂

Gives whole new meaning to the phrase "to pierce the corporate veil."
April 7, 2011 at 11:48 pm
Wait … we should encourage the ACLU on this. Under the 14th Amendment, "corporations" are given the status of "persons." And killing a "person" is against the law. Therefore … ?

The government has preempted its citizens, the sovereign persons begotten in the womb, (WHOSE sovereign personhood constitutes the government from the very first moment of their constitutional lives and unalienable right to Life) as property, and now wishes to make laws to reinforce that piracy to establish its possession through legal precedence of ownership of the human being. The will of the people must be expressed by the government. The will of the people does not include death by abortion, nor the repudiation of our founding principles found in the Declaration of Independence, our unalienable right to Life, and our constitutional freedoms. Those who repudiate our founding principles repudiate their citizenship and have no legal standing in a court of law. The ACLU has consistently denied the existence of OUR CREATOR,and the endowed, unalienable rights of every human being. Therefore, the ACLU cannot have any legal standing in a court of law as human beings. As God, the ACLU does not need any legal standing in court of law and must work miracles to accomplish their will…of course the ACLU does not include themselves as human beings.

Perhaps, women whose uteri are incorporated may qualify for stimulus packages (No pun intended). If corporations may be tax subsidized why not compensate a women for having a uterus and using it for the establishment of the posterity. Not as far-fetched as it first seemed to me to be. Let me see the money. I am laughfing so hard I may fall off my seat.

Journalistically I have to give this article a 1/10. There needs to be more context besides "in Florida…"
