The succinct ad first appeared on Craigslist:
#Pregnant? No choice? Email [email protected] for options.
7 months later, the Weekly World News first "reported" KENTUCKY WOMAN GIVES BIRTH TO FROG. It was laughed off. So was the story about a Texas woman who birthed snakes, a teen girl in West Virginia who had a litter of possums, an alligator born to a poverty-stricken woman in Louisiana.
Then the cases started coming in by the dozens, then the hundreds. Soon there were too many to count or ignore. Women delivering mammals, reptiles, fish. All, only, in states where reproductive choice had been banned.
But it didn't come to a head until news broke about the #senator from Florida. His teenage daughter, having gone missing for several weeks, had just birthed a monitor lizard.
Who looked unnervingly like the senator.
Full #reproductive #rights were restored in the state of Florida within 6 weeks. By the end of the year, every other state had followed suit.
