Well, this is one of the creepiest things I've seen lately

It took me a while to figure out if this website was a joke or not. (I'm pretty sure it's real. But still not 100% convinced.)

They're pro-life "micropreemie" (a.k.a. fetus) dolls. Now, regardless of where you stand on the whole issue of whether life begins at birth, conception, quickening or wherever, I don't think anyone can deny that the human fetus, baby or not, is really freaking creepy looking. It trips our whole sense of "human, but not quite human, AAIIEEE!" And thumb-sized plastic fetuses dressed in baby clothes are, frankly, about ten times as creepy-looking as they would be in their natural environment.

Here's the main page, FYI.

Well put. I was chatting with my friend about it yesterday, and I pinned down what was bothering me so much about the hats/blankets. I think that it was the knowledge that any baby wearing a hat is not in a womb, and any baby that tiny not in the womb is a dead baby. So it was like looking at dolls of dead babies. *shudder.* I'm sure that lady meant well, but I think she missed the mark...
