Solutions for New Intercourse Protections (SNIP) now counts more than 100 members across the country. Members have participated in walks nationwide for several years, growing the organization from its original five founding members. Here, they lead the Women’s March on Washington.
The photo below is from about 25 years ago. It shows the founding members at their initial organizational meeting, held at the local Methodist church.
They moved from the Baptist church because, as the Baptist church secretary said, “They were just a little bit odd.” The Lutherans offered space, but their church basement was booked months in advance by the Ladies’ Aid, the Women’s Circle, and the Quilting Club.
Inaugural organizational meeting of SNIP
Attendees at the inaugural meeting included Karen Holfritz, Karen Writin, Karen Wrong, Karen Gilbertson, and Marlys McDivitt. Marlys does not appear in the photo because she was taking the photo.
The members of Solutions for New Intercourse Protections (SNIP) decided that the best way to resolve the ongoing debate and anger over abortion decisions is to provide government-funded vasectomies for all males at the onset of puberty.
When someone pointed out that puberty varies—some boys start as early as nine, others as late as fourteen—the spokesperson responded, “Well, if we do nine-year-olds, we’ll make sure to cover everyone and not let any slip by.”
The photo of the inaugural organizational meeting of SNIP, showing (from left to right) Karen Holfritz, Karen Writin, Karen Rongin, and Karen Gilbertson, is entirely fictitious. It does not actually depict women named Karen Holfritz, Karen Writin, Karen Rongin, or Karen Gilbertson. Instead, we grabbed the photo from the Mathed.net website, where it actually shows the 2014–2015 PAEMST Awardees. We will keep their name anonymous here. Well, we assume the photographer isn’t named Marlys McDivitt—because that would be frickin’ wild!
