I saw two women wearing T-shirts that said "I had an abortion". What do you think their message was?

In a crowd at the Capital there were two young women wearing black T-shirts with white lettering that said "I had an abortion. Why would anyone want the whole world to know that? Some people don't use birth control and just get an abortion if they get pregnant. Either they are too lazy to buy birth control or can't afford it. Doesn't Planned Parenthood give out free birth control?

You do realize that an abortion is more expensive than birth control? Nobody has sex with the mindset "If I get pregnant I can just get an abortion." It's not a spur of the moment decision.
I have a what if question for you. This is based on a true story. A woman got her tubes tied because she didn't want to get pregnant. She still got pregnant. Since she did everything possible to avoid pregnancy (more so than anyone on contraceptives) should she still be forced to give birth? She undertook a surgical procedure to prevent pregnancy.

@Twalli if you have Medi-Caid I believe all medical doesn't cost anything - which might cover abortion.
If I tried getting my tubes tied, and other birth control and still got pregnant and didn't want to, from now on I would have to use abstinence.

Most people don't have Medicaid, you have to be pretty poor to qualify for it, and medical care is not free. If you want me to I can go in depth explaining the intricacies of the insurance system, but basically look at your insurance card and you'll see prices for drugs, co pays, etc. That's what you pay with your insurance. If you're on Medicare (without part C), it's pretty easy to see the prices because they're the same for everyone.

What do you think their message was? How about that they were to damn stupid to use any of the 30+ methods of birth control available to them?

[KrisPW]

That's disgusting. Even if you support it, you shouldn't be out there flaunting it like it was a good thing.

[Asker]

@KrisPW Exactly!! I thought it was very weird that they would do such a thing. Some people 🙄

Bragging about having an abortion strikes me as immature... in many ways.

First the person apparently was not mature when she had sex. She didn't make the effort to insure she would not get pregnant.

She was immature in the fact that she took the easy way out. She did not want to take responsibility for the life she created so she killed her own baby,

Finally she was immature because she had the need to brag about how irresponsible she was in her sex life.

The sad thing is that the Looney Left would applaud her bragging about killing the human life she created.

Is that something to be proud of? You wonder what their mothers would think of them.

I wouldn’t be surprised if these women were atheists. But let’s just say there might be possibly be an afterlife and they met their child they did this to. What would they say to them?

[Sixgunsound]

Without meeting them at all I already know they’ve made at least three bad life choices.

"Give me attention"

Basically what most shirts with letters or graphics on them are for.

[joeldalton]

The message, loud and clear is "I have a mental illness"

[nawtee_me]

Planed parenthood has been defunded by the government so they can’t raise money for that. If it wasn’t for the taxpayers they never would have been able to do that to begin with.

I didn’t want to pay for someone’s abortions anyway.

[Jltakk]

Their message was that they made mistakes and don't want to own up to them.

[Creampiekarl420]

Planned parenthood gives out free birth control so they can say the provide other services besides abortion

[OddBeMe]

Demystifying it. Cuz even Republican politicians have gotten abortions.

[Dargil]

"I support infanticide".

[anylolone]

It's called degeneracy.
