    To be blunt - I don't buy it

    This sounds like a typical made up story. They take a fundraiser for an abortion that is likely real, then start interpreting everything as negatively as possible, making up a few details, etc. I'd bet the 'womb' was some party decoration only the writer saw as a womb.

    If this goes like usual, we'd be able to find out that it was a get together, with music and booze, without abortion decorations and all the exaggerated attitudes.

    Were it real - it'd be in more than somewhat bad taste - like celebrating a brisk with meatball and mini-hotdog appetizers, arranged anatomically. But that's about it.
