NEW YORK, July 23, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - International abortion giant, Planned Parenthood has a line of consumer products, coffee mugs, bumper stickers and t-shirts to spread their message and raise funds. The latest in their 'social fashion' line is a t-shirt for post-abortive women to "assert a powerful message in support of women's rights." The shirt says simply, "I had an abortion."
The world's leading abortion-promoting organization has long striven to undo the stigma attached to women killing their unborn children, but with little result. Despite the enthusiastic support of politicians, rock musicians and movie stars, abortion still has powerful negative associations in the public mind.
The idea of an abortion pride fashion statement has intrigued at least one Canadian journalist. David Warren, a prominent columnist for the Ottawa Citizen responded to LifeSiteNews.com by saying cheerily, "I think it's a great idea." "In fact, I think they should adopt a whole range of slogans. How about, 'I eat unborn babies for breakfast Vote John Kerry.' Now those would really sell."
The shirts can be purchased online for US $15.00 along with Planned Parenthood condoms, milk chocolate birth control packs, a calendar showing a young woman's tongue-piercing and a selection of "Choice on Earth" Christmas cards.
Man. I hope that doesn't get pulled.
beyond pathetic...
That was a living, human being. The folks who killed that baby were wrong in what they did. But why go and deface what is already a horrific picture by Photoshopping the picture?
Good news: A lot of kids wore T-shirts to school like this one from Rock for Life on National Pro-Life T-Shirt Day.
You gotta be kidding me. These people deserve to rot in hell.
"Link to yahoo store t-shirt no longer works."
The link has been changed. They haven't pulled the shirt images because I linked them off of the Yahoo store site but they took the shirt offer offline.
Drudge picked up this story and PP might have got some heat via Yahoo.
I went back through the Yahoo store, the shirt is no longer offered for sale. This has been just like turning on a light and watching the cockroaches scurry for the darkness.
Front - I had an abortion
Back - Unfortunately my mother did not
The left would go ballistic.
How about...
"Abort Only Liberal Babies"
...not really, of course, but how could a self respecting liberal argue with it!?
That's weird. I just accessed it again through Drudge...
The Drudge link is to Goggle's cache of the shirt offer in the Yahoo store. That direct link has been pulled.
How about some counter T-shirts, like:
I had an abortion...and wish I hadn't.
Aren't you glad you weren't aborted?
You could have been aborted.
Was your sister aborted?
Was your brother aborted?
Can't find your true love? Perhaps they were aborted.
"Can't find your true love? Perhaps they were aborted. "
Refined a bit:
"Can't find your Soulmate? Perhaps the were aborted"
YUCK
Or maybe "I should have been aborted."
They're just so proud of all the evil and corruption they spread.

Sorry, but that's a lame excuse, an easy way out, and a dangerous slope that will eventually slide a woman into angry, loathing, discontented, silently suffering, self-hating nut case: a complete drag to be around. Besides, a woman should be mature enough to own up to her actions. If she has legitimate reasons for having an abortion, a real man who's interested in her will be understanding. You might be surprised at just how understanding men are with women who are truly, even brutally, honest with them.
