today, the corpse of irony was found stomped and mangled in a gutter

Via diepunyhumans:

Planned Parenthood is proud to offer yet another t-shirt in our new social fashion line: "I Had an Abortion" fitted T-shirts are now available. These soft and comfortable fitted tees assert a powerful message in support of women's rights.

"Proud to offer"?  "Support of women's rights"?  I don't think anyone in their right mind thinks that an abortion is something that's GOOD to have.  This is just going to give the pro-life wackjobs more ammo — "See, Planned Parenthood wants women to be PROUD of killing their babies!"

Why? I believe it's clearly stated in the original post: because it'll encourage the pro-life wackjobs. You probably have some very broken idea of what "dialogue" is if you think an "I had an abortion" t-shirt is going to open dialogue.

If women want to buy this shirt as a statement, hey, go for it. I think that Planned Parenthood's goals would be better served by not selling such an incendiary T-shirt (and, again, declaring that they're "proud" to do so). But what do i know? It's not like i have a uterus.
