Browsing through the Planned Parenthood online store you'll find a variety of so-called "women's rights" items for sale -- pins, posters, condoms, even "chocolate birth control pill packs." But this year Planned Parenthood unveiled a new fitted t-shirt to sell at the March for Women's Lives which touted the slogan "I Had an Abortion" -- this was a direct counter to the Silent No More campaign's popular pro-life "I Regret My Abortion" t-shirt. But in the end the Planned Parenthood shirt is turning out to be a miserable failure. Both supporters and non-supporters of Planned Parenthood have complained that the heartless slogan of "I Had An Abortion" not only sends the wrong message to young women it also celebrates one of the most heart-breaking experiences a woman can have.
The truth is that all women regret their abortion at one level or another and no one wants to advertise the fact they have killed their unborn child. They certainly don't want to wear that slogan across their chest. The extremist message of this t-shirt by Planned Parenthood truly reveals the radical and anti-life agenda of Planned Parenthood. It further shows how out of touch they are not only with American women but even the Democratic Party who Planned Parenthood usually supports, because the Democratic party claims that it wants to make abortion less necessary and more rare.
