I gotta admit this is pretty disturbing. I mean who jokes about killing babies, even more so to make a game out of it?
Here’s the video:
Here’s the background:
CHRISTIAN POST – A YouTube video of students at New York City’s Hunter College making fun of abortion in a game called “Abortion Battles” has drawn the ire of many people, including pro-choice proponents who think the game is twisted and insensitive.
The original video that sparked the outrage is titled “Chaz’s 20th Birthday Hunter College,” and has since been removed from YouTube, but several copies have replaced it. The video shows a group of young men simulating pregnancy by stuffing blown up balloons under their shirts and then battling with plastic knives to see who can kill the other’s pretend baby first. They are refereed by a young female.
Marco Rosales, who reportedly posted the original video to YouTube, said of the game, “We were introduced to this epic game called Abortion Battles. It’s somewhat unorthodox, but it’s really fun! Lol!”
In the video, the winner of the first battle shouts, “I’ve got my fetus,” after puncturing the balloon under the shirt of his first conquest, then declares, “Whose kid is next!?”
As the jousting begins in a second battle, the male student recording the battle shouts, “Kill that baby yo! Kill that baby!” The champion from the first battle wins that battle again. The videographer then hands the camera to another student and victoriously challenges the champion. They then try to get other students in the class involved in the game, including the “birthday boy,” but those students refuse to join.
Pro-choice supporter and assistant editor of The Urban Daily wrote in an op-ed piece that the video was disturbing.
