This shirt is just weird.
I feel like it will be in the same line as....
"I slept with a married man and broke up a marriage"
"I pick my nose and wipe the boogers under your table"
"I smack my two year old when she cries too much"
"Ear wax, A tasty treat!"
"Natural Gas in the oven is a baby-sitting tool"
"Yes, I like the smell of farts"
Need I go on??
Another approach might be to bring up PP's past association with the eugenics movement. On the back of their t-shirt, you could add, "...and helped improve the human race!"
The problem with that is that the type of people who would "advertise" their abortion LIKE eugenics. They can't admit it in public, but these are the people who can't stand the existence of anyone who's not Just Like Them.
Which is why I'll ask, yet again, for my fellow FReepers to please try not to refer to post-abortive woman as murderers, cowards, butcherers, etc. I'm not denying the truth behind any of the names. I want everyone to consider that there are women on this forum who have had abortions and whose lives will never, ever be the same because of it. If these women cannot feel comfortable discussing their horrible experiences with fellow pro-lifers, what are the chances that they will ever feel comfortable being vocal advocates for those babies whose lives still hang in the balance? How's that for a run-on sentence??!
These shirts are not for everyday wear - they are for wearing in pro-abortion marches. I don't wear my Feminists for Life shirt on any ordinary day.

It's real and shows how bereft of any morality the dem party has become.
So right Old Friend, so right. It's rather disgusting as well. The only good news is that I think even the moderate "pro-Choice" women will be turned off by such as an inhuman and vile message.
Even the FNC pundits were having orgasms over the grifters.
"In recent years, greater attention has been paid to the effect that abortion has on women".
I suspect the effect is greater on the baby.
Abortion T-Shirt Sold Out
(Nicole Johnson, WROC-TV)

If abortion weren't controversial enough, Planned Parenthood is selling a new T-shirt to spread its pro-choice message. Some said the shirt makes a bold statement; others said it's just bad taste. The T-shirt is the talk among people on both sides of the abortion issue.
Planned Parenthood Federation of America is using the T-shirt's message to raise awareness and money, but after heat from their own supporters, the group stopped sales.
Sales resumed on the group's website for $15 a pop.
Rochester Planned Parenthood's Carol Love said Rochester is not selling the T-shirt, but agrees with the message. Love said, "The message is, we ought to be able to talk about abortion in our country."
The T-shirt even sparked controversy at the Democratic National Convention. Pro-life groups staged a protest. Sharon White agrees with a woman's rights; "personally I couldn't do it, but I think it's a woman's choice to do what she should, have the right to wear it if she wants, anywhere she wants to get it."
Janine Rizzo thinks abortion is wrong and so are the T-shirts.
Planned Parenthood said one out of every three women will have an abortion by age 45.
Honestly, I think you're all becomming desensitized to this. I can watch gory movies, read all about the horrors of war... but can you imagine running into someone wearing one of these shirts?!?! Can you really? Go ahead and try to imagine it. I just did and it made me ill.
What are we turning into in this nation? What's next for a t-shirt? "I'd rather be sodomizing?" or "I commit adultery regularly, interested?" or "I have beheaded an infidel" or even "Rape is fun!" How about we just rename this shirt to what it SHOULD say? "MURDERER AND PROUD OF IT!"
This is SICK. If anyone comes into my home or store with one of these, they're going to get thrown out. But because abortion is legal, this is all we can do. A proud murderer who is promoting the act to the world and all we can do is not associate with them? No one will arrest them? No one will speak out? No one will call for justice? We must overturn Roe v. Wade, soon.
So we are down to where openly admitting murder isn't even a crime anymore. How can this be legal? How can anyone in our society claim this is right? What are we turning into?
I have no idea how to respond to this one. It's just too much. That slippery slope of the devaluation of human life is all too real. If PP can print t-shirts with this slogan without getting slapped down, then we are much farther down the slope than I thought.
I am certainly not and can never be desensitized to this horror and travesty of justice.
I pray outside this evil dirty brown house regularly. So do many others.
I write letters to the editor and tv people here and they won't even publish them.
Vote pro-life. Tell your elected officials to do the same or they won't get your vote.
Tell them not to spend tax dollars for abortion.
Planned Parenthood gets over 1/3 of its income from us through our taxes.
Expose the evil.
Find and join a prayer vigil at your local killing center.
And pray for God's and his aborted children's mercy.
