I love this.

I was going to post today about a pro-choice fundraiser in Brooklyn that I'm going to on Thursday because I wanted to get a bunch of people to show. But thanks to a wack-a-doo piece in The New York Sun, I'm betting the event will have plenty of folks there.

Columnist Alicia Colon found out about the fundraiser and in a fit of anti-choice madness went on a writing bender that brought her to one logical conclusion: women shouldn't be able to vote.

How on earth did we women ever get the vote? If intellectual acumen were a requirement for suffrage today, we'd still be waiting for our shot at the ballot box. Fortunately, the pioneering suffragettes who fought for the 19th Amendment had their heads screwed on tight - unlike the "Sex and the City" groupies who think abortion as birth control is something worth fighting for. Five girls from Queens are holding a Brooklyn beer fund-raiser this week for their poor sisters in South Dakota, who've lost their right to kill their babies in utero.

In response to this genius juxtaposition of Sex and the City, abortion, beer and suffragettes, the event has gotten press from both Gawker and Broadsheet. (With more to come, I'm sure.)

So come have a beer this Thursday for Alicia Colon, the unintentional patron saint of pro-choice fundraisers.
