'Pap smears at Walgreens' comment triggers a confused protest

On Saturday's Fox & Friends, co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade bravely attempted to expose the venomous lies of those batty Planned Parenthood defenders.

Defenders of Planned Parenthood, like Sen. Harry Reid, claim that funding the organization is important because their clinics provide women with life-saving services.


But Doocy and Kilmeade dismantled that argument by claiming that services like pap smears are available "at Walgreens."


This is obviously completely untrue, and Stephen Colbert did a hilarious piece about this on Monday's The Colbert Report, which brought a lot of attention to the issue.


Now, in response to this idiocy, feminist activists have planned a protest aimed at... Walgreens?


A blogger for Feministe called the idea "brilliant" and posted the details of the event and a link to the Facebook page. This is what it looks like:

FLASH MOB ALERT!!! FOX & Friends thinks we don't need Planned Parenthood because women can just get their breast exams and pap smears at Walgreens (which is not true). Let's prove them wrong by demanding these health services at Walgreens across the country and seeing what happens. Here's what to do this Saturday at 12 PM: 1) Pick your favorite local Walgreens 2) Get a group of friends together or connect with people via this event page. 3) Go try to get your pap smear! 4) Don't forget to bring your video cameras and share your footage on YouTube!

Maybe I'm missing something, but doesn't it seem kind of pointless to harass the employees of Walgreens because of an ignorant and baseless statement made by the people at Fox & Friends?

I mean, I guess it would be kind of funny to see the puzzled looks on the faces of unknowing cashiers when they're asked which aisle the breast exams are administered in... But they really don't deserve it.

Wouldn't a more fitting protest be in front of Fox News studios to address the dummies themselves?


Still, I'm eager to see the video footage.
