This Image Makes Me Want To Throw Up

I can’t believe it, but Planned Parenthood is marketing shirts that say “I had an abortion.”

Are they NUTS???

Are they so wrapped up in their warped, anti-life rhetoric that they can’t see how HORRENDOUS this idea is?

Putting this message on a T-shirt creates at minimum a defiant message and possibly a boastful one.

I can only conclude that PP has gone downhill since the days when Faye Wattleton was president of it. I remember her admitting that women know that there is a life within them and that it is a sad thing to end it. That kind of fuzzy “compassionate abortion” rhetoric contained enough acknowledgement of the truth to be dangerous. People might fall for it.

But THIS! This is simply beyond belief. It is up there in the same league as their inflammatory “Choice On Earth” campaign last Christmas.

If anybody is stupid enough to wear these things, Planned Parenthood will only be hurting its own cause.

That, of course, is a good thing. I just don’t want to see women destroy their own reputations by broadcasting such hate-filled, pride-filled messages to those around them.

  1. Jimmy,
    Did you scroll down Planned Parenthoods ‘Wearable w/Message Page’? At the bottom is an anniversary pin shaped like a key with an embedded P in the shank. I know satan is a mimic, but that gives me the creeps, as it reminds me of half of another set of “Keys”.

  2. Other ideas for t-shirts:
    I had a baby. I was a baby.
    I was a fetus. or YOU were a fetus.
    My mother had a baby.

  3. Ya, this t-shirt has been circulating around the net the last couple of days.
    The best counter-t-shirt ideas I’ve seen:
    “I had an abortion, and it burned a hole in my heart.”
    “Your mother chose life.”
    “I had an abortion, and may God forgive me for it.”

  4. I would just like straight forward honesty:
    “I murdered my baby and I’m proud of it”

  5. I think this is indicative of the sickness in the culture of death. There are today so many women who have had abortions (I don’t know the actual number but it’s a pretty big percentage of the population I’m sure, maybe somebody can find the number?). That’s a lot of women who are hurting and need to feel that what they did was okay. Planned Parenthood is (superficially) satisfying that need. Of course, when defiance fails to heal the wounds, these women will come crashing down into depression and hurt.
    If there is any good news from this, it is that I think it indicates that the abortion culture and Planned Parenthood are very sick and weak and about to collapse in on themselves (well we can pray).

  7. I thought of another new marketing opportunity for them. Maybe they could start giving away a free video of your abortion with each performed.

  10. I went in the carolina’s resently there was a sign the caught my eye and this is no joke,”Planned Pet Hood Spa and Resort.Tell me the world has not gone insaine.
