LOS ANGELES — Dame has launched a limited-edition dildo bearing the face of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky).
The new Dame product campaign is named “Get F*cked by the Government on Your Own Terms.”
McConnell, a rep said, “helped engineer the fall of Roe v. Wade by working to reshape the federal judiciary and the US Supreme Court.”
According to the company, 100% of sales will go to organizations fighting for the right to access abortion healthcare “following the June 24, 2022 decision to overturn a half a century of precedent and protection.”
Dame founder and CEO Alexandra Fine said, “In dismantling the critical right to abortion access, the government has fucked America. At Dame, we believe our bodies are our own, and it is our choice to do with them as we please. This encompasses everything from pleasure to life-saving healthcare.”
Fine added the company “wanted to engage in the discourse, raise funds, and have fun doing it. Pleasure is our guiding force and we need autonomy over our bodies in order to enjoy them.”
Starting today, those who wish to support the right to critical healthcare access can pre-order the dildo for $80 — a number that represents the percentage of Americans who believe abortion should be legal, according to independent research firm Gallup.
Dana Buckhorn — a creative at Mischief @ No Fixed Address, the creative agency that teamed up with Dame — said, “We wanted to make sure this issue is top of mind leading up to the midterm elections, when people have the chance to make meaningful change.”
Tanner Thompson, another Mischief creative behind the idea, added, “We are using absurdity to bring awareness, solicit donations and, in turn, encourage as many people as possible to help fight a very serious fight.”
