Lena Dunham: ‘I Still Haven’t Had an Abortion, but I Wish I Had’
Yahoo News ^ | December 20, 2016 | Taryn Ryder

Anytime Lena Dunham is trending online these days, it’s typically for some headline-making political comment. However, the Girls creator seems to have taken it too far for some people this time around.

On her podcast, Women of the Hour, the 30-year-old actress tackled the topic of abortion, saying that although she hasn’t had one, she wished she had. Dunham began by talking about how she was raised by her mother to be pro-choice.

“From an early age, she taught my younger sibling and me to say ‘anti-choice’ instead of ‘pro-life’ because she wanted to make sure that we knew that everyone is pro-life,” Dunham said. “Some people are anti-choice.”

Despite her pro-choice view, Dunham realized that even she unknowingly carried with her a stigma around the topic.

“One day, when I was visiting a Planned Parenthood in Texas a few years ago, a young girl walked up to me and asked me if I’d like to be a part of her project in which women share their stories of abortions,” she recalled. “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. 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 it was important that people know I was unblemished in this department.”

She added, “Now I can say that I still haven’t had an abortion, but I wish I had.”

From what I’ve read, she lives with a musician.

I assume that means they have sex. But in today’s world you never know.

She is twisted beyond belief in her brain. Not unusual for Leftists.

She could still abort herself. That would be okay!

I wonder how long it will be before some celebrity gets pregnant for the expressed purpose of aborting the baby.
I mean, films the procedure and everything.
You know she will be held up like modern day Rosa Parks by the Left. Cover of Time, the whole nine yards.
You know it will happen.

If you love the idea of women killing innocent babies as a routine form of birth control, you are not "pro-life."

If you are adamantly against requiring abortionists to give accurate information about pregnancy, the fact that fetuses suffer excruciating pain during the process, and the long-term physical and psychological health effects of abortion, you are not "pro-choice."

You are pro-abortion, nothing else.

Something is seriously wrong with a country that gives celebrity and notoriety to someone so clearly mentally ill

Well, when no one is willing to have sex with you Lena, getting an unwanted pregnancy is impossible. Perhaps you could pay a Gigolo a lot of extra money?

How can anyone watch that kind of garbage? Is this what passes for entertainment?

Too bad her mother didn't give it a whirl before the planet was burdened with her sorry existence.

I still never get the insanity of liberal idiots like Lena Dunham, where they want to shove their fat, naked, disgusting bodies for everyone to see and then in the same instance ready to call the same people she horrifies with those images, a pervert or that they are violating her rights as a woman. Only feminist liberals do this.

I one time was flipping through channels and saw a scene where she is eating a birthday cake in a gross public toilet stall sitting on the toilet. It was more disturbing than the movie Trainspotting.

I think both of those people (Lena Dunham and Amy Schumer) are of the same ilk and wouldn’t be surprised if for a desperate ploy to stay relevant will share a lesbian scene together rolling around with their sweaty fat rolls gyrating in harmony

According to her, pro-life is anti-choice thus pro-choice is anti-life.

More liberal short-thinking.
