Lena Dunham Faces Backlash for Saying She Wishes She’d Had an Abortion

Lena Dunham stirred up controversy during a recent episode of her podcast by saying she wishes she’d had an abortion.

While hosting Women of the Hour, the Girls creator recalled a visit to a Texas Planned Parenthood years ago, during which a girl asked her to share her experience with abortion.

“I sort of jumped. ‘I haven’t had an abortion,’ I told her. I wanted to make it really clear to her that, as much as I was going out and fighting for other women’s options, I myself had never had an abortion,”recalled Dunham, 30.

“And I realized then that even I was carrying within myself stigma around this issue. Even I, the woman who cares as much as anybody about a woman’s right to choose, felt that it was important that people know that I was unblemished in this department.”

She is awful. I can’t stand her. True definition of ugly, inside and out.

I’ll bet Lena still plays little girl games at home, puts a wig on her head, a sofa pillow under her blouse, talks with a British accent and pretends she’s ‘fallen pregnant by an unknown Bloke’. That’s something girls do when their about seven or eight. They usually outgrow make believe drama when real life steps in.

Oh, I think most of us get her. We just think she’s ignorant and stupid. Naive millenials think she’s clever and funny. They haven’t yet lived in the real world though.

My god, is there nothing this woman won’t say or do to keep her name in the news?

Funny, I was thinking that about her mother.

(or is that too insensitive?)

Not only that, Dunham can’t act her way out of a paper bag. This ugly person is totally without merit who simply wants headlines.

Maybe her mother does too.................

I know most people wish her mother did. Such a malignant personality.

With a short piece of rope she can perform a 90th trimester post birth abortion on herself.

“It helps if your uncle is Chuck Schumer who controls corporate welfare for Hollywierd.”

That’s Amy Schemer, isn’t it? Or Lena Dunham one of his nieces too?

Thankfully, Chuck Schumer doesn’t control squat anymore.

Who out there is actually a fan of this woman? Her humor is stupid, her outlook on things is all negative, she is over-sexed, her show was lame, at best.

That's a good question. Despite being renewed for 6 seasons, Girls has never brought in much in terms of viewers for HBO.

Mercifully, Dunham herself has declared this season will be the series finale.

Here’s wishing Margaret Sanger’s mom hadn’t had her.

And Lena’s mom.

What does this woman have to say or do before humanity shuns her?

And sad. She has “issues.” At least Britney Spears started out semi-normal. Lena is starting out at a much lower level and I predict that her career will be short and then what will she do? What are her redeeming qualities other than her willingness to diminish herself and her foul and bitter personality? Sad.

Even the demons who possess her did a facepalm over that comment.
