Crocheting and politics should go together more often.
A group called Government Free VJJ, started by my friend and knitter extraordinaire Donna Druchunas, is sending a message to the politicians voting against reproductive rights and preventing women from making their own health decisions:
“Hands off my uterus! Here — have a knitted one of your own!”
Yep, they’re sending knitted or crocheted uteri, cervixes, and vulvas to every male member of Congress.
All the patterns are linked to on their site, and there’s also a spreadsheet you can fill out after sending your item so they can keep track of which Congresspeople still need one.
As Cassie Murdoch wrote on Jezebel:
It might not end the war on women, but at least it will give our beloved representatives something soft to cuddle when they have nightmares about slut-demons and whore-monsters taking over the world with our birth-control riddled godzila-sized vaginas.
