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.”

Of course Lena Dunham had never had an abortion. She’s never had sex with a man.

Actually, she had at least one night of bad sex with a guy when she was in college, and her female coworkers, a decade or so later, convinced her it was “rape”.

Suicide might be the only option. That would certainly gain her the attention she so desires.

That's only fair.

I often wish, every time the name Lena is mentioned, that her mother had...
