Happy Fetus

I was wondering if all fetii were happy, and if there's anything we can do to make them more comfortable in there, so I plugged in 'happy fetus' into google and came up with this:

NARAL & NOW Launch ‘Happy Fetus’ Animated Ads
by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace ·
(2003-06-17) — The National Abortion Rights Action League and the National Organization for Women announced today they will fight Norma McCorvey’s efforts to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court decision which made her the central figure in the abortion debate.Mrs. McCorvey, the ‘Jane Roe’ of Roe v. Wade, has filed a motion in Federal District Court in Dallas, asking the courts to overturn the decision to legalize abortion. Her case is based on new evidence of the negative effects of abortion on women.NARAL and NOW say they will strike back with a multi-million dollar national TV ad blitz featuring an animated character called “Happy Fetus.” In the ads, Happy Fetus, who resembles a brine shrimp, is “not very happy.” He’s stuck in a “dark, cramped and lonely womb.” He wishes someone would pull him out right away because he doesn’t want to be born and “have to grow up in a world where a woman’s right to an abortion is threatened by right-wing extremists.”At the end of the commercial, the narrator says, “Making abortion illegal again would be a life sentence to hundreds of thousands of fetuses, who would otherwise have avoided having to live on this miserable planet. It’s too late for you and me. We’re already stuck here. But you can help make Happy Fetus happy again. Keep abortion legal.”

Was this for real? Did it really happen? Has the whole world gone insane?
Dark, cramped, and lonely??
Do they really believe the planet is miserable for everyone??
Do they really think a fetus would rather die than live a full life?
OH MY FUCKING GOD.

I'm sorry this has to be a joke, right?
If it isn't, I completely hate these NARAL/NOW idiots/bastards.

Well, anyway, here's a link on Fetal Experience.
In other words, make sure baby lives as stress-free as possible in there. Stress is bad.
Calm placid tranquility? Goodness. Ahhh.
