Bartender!! A round of pregnancy tests for the ladies!!

     I thought I had seen it all. And to be honest I'm not quite sure how to take this. I came across this article about an organization that is endeavoring to have pregnancy test vending machines put in bars around Minneapolis, Minnesota.

     While I encourage efforts of spreading awareness of early testing and proper prenatal care, I am almost embarrassed for the first person to excuse themselves from their table, only to stop at that machine on their way to the bathroom. Please tell me it is at least in an inconspicuous place. In my opinion, a bar is no place to be taking that kind of test. If you are worried about being pregnant, why would you wait to get to the bar to take a test anyway?! Take it at home for crying out loud!

    And it is very possible for a woman to not know she is pregnant. There is a show about it, and everything! I know I'm not the only one that watches TLC.

     But in closing, I raise my virgin strawberry daiquiri to those that are championing a very worthy cause despite the unusual method!

  1. Besides, doesn't the need for pregnancy tests increase after leaving the bar...? :)

    1. That was my thought! I suggest putting a condom machine by the front door and the pregnancy tests at the back :)
