Pro-Life before Birth, Anti-Ice Cream

I know what this is like, to be attacked by lunatics from around the country whipped up by frothing goat-molesting idiots:

A Portland ice cream shop is bombarded with dozens of threats from people clear across the country after raising money for Planned Parenthood.

The owners of What’s the Scoop? in North Portland created a specialty flavor for Planned Parenthood last week that sold as a fundraiser for the organization.

It’s something the shop says they do all the time for local organizations, to give back to the city that supports them.

The backlash only began after an anti-abortion blog caught wind of the fundraiser and published the information.

Now, the shop’s phone is ringing off the hook with threatening phone calls from as far away as New York. Their email account was also inundated with disturbing messages and threats over the weekend.

“Some of the calls and e-mails are really really gross. I don’t even like to say it out loud it’s so disgusting,” said owner Jodie Ostrovsky.

“It’s a flat out attack, there’s nothing behind it but hate,” said Ostrovsky. ” To attack us on unfounded grounds, to accuse of things that we haven’t done, to accuse an organization for things they haven’t done, it’s not right.”

Ostrovsky says many loyal customers have shown their support by responding to some of the online comments and buying ice cream.

I will say this though–the single easiest and most pleasant way to support reproductive rights is through eating ice cream. I will briefly be in Portland in a couple of weeks and now I have a definite stop on my agenda.
