Most people in either the “Pro-life” and “Pro-Choice”  camps  plainly see the distinct differences between extracting teeth and what occurs during an abortion.

However, a group sponsoring an  “#AbortionMatters blog carnival” doesn’t seem to think those differences matter much.

Abortion is safer, and about as common as “having your wisdom teeth removed,” a spokeswoman for a group, which is set to host an “#AbortionMatters blog carnival,” later this month told Campus Reform on Wednesday.

“One in three women will have an abortion by the time they’re 45, and yet we’re treating this like it’s some extreme procedure, when it can be a lot safer than even having your wisdom teeth removed, and is almost just as common,” said Kari Ross, who is the spokeswoman for the Feminist Majority Foundation (FMF).

FMF runs the Choices Campus Leadership Program, which bills itself as the “World’s Largest Pro-Choice Student Network.”

The organization is set to host the carnival from  Aug. 23-26. The carnival, according to both Ross and the official website, is a series of blog posts celebrating decades of access to abortion.

“#AbortionMatters will showcase various personal essays and short policy pieces that stress the importance of a federal – and wholly national – approach to abortion,” reads the official description.

The group used its Twitter account Wednesday to encourage students to submit blog posts explaining why “#AbortionMatters” to them.

The name “carnival” was chosen because it is “a celebration of blogs,” Ross told Campus Reform.

Ross dismissed concerns that some might find the word “carnival” offensive in the context of abortion, saying those concerns missed the “real issue.”
