Women Find a Way to Actually Set the Internet on Fire





This is meeting with some predictable fuss.

You know, like:


Wow, what a sick feed #ihadanabortion There's nothing honorable in killing a developing child. There's nothing 2 be proud of, a baby is deadWed Nov 03 22:10:54 via Twitter for iPhone

And on the other side, why yes:


Why is saying #ihadanabortion "provovative?" I had my wisdom teeth out. Is that needlessly provocative? Or "i had a baby at 15?" No?Thu Nov 04 16:23:19 via web

Abortion is only wrong if you travel 2,000 miles to see an abortion doctor you had a gay crush on in high school.

"So yes, it is creepy, but I think you should totally do it."

As long as there's no expectation for post-abortion romance.

This post briefly made me think that Anna Holmes' Twitter avatar was a picture of Will Leitch for some reason. Sadly, it appears to just be Cameron from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Is not using Twitter the new "I don't own a TV?"

Because I watch the fuck out of TV.

When it comes to feminism, my take is whatever feels empowering is empowering. (Ariel Levy may disagree). So, my feelings are 'tevs on this whole thing.

Now I'm kind of bummed that I've never had an abortion.

excellent screenname/comment synergy.

John Waters apparently yells at men picketing abortion clinics, "I wish I were a woman, just so I could get an abortion."

What if this met up with the breast cancer awareness campaign?

Gives a whole new meaning to "I like it on my desk."

doubled277 (#2,783)

yes, can we start this somehow?

Abortion, it brings out the child in these women.

BadUncle (#153)

It certainly scrapes up some emotion.

laurel (#4,035)

These issues need airing out.

saythatscool (#101)

Most of the arguments are moot anyway because they\'re made into a vacuum.

oudemia (#177)

The whole thing sucks.

saythatscool (#101)

@oudemia: These ladies should have considered blowing if they wanted to avoid the suck.

So I guess I've somehow wandered off of Jezebel and landed … in counterfactual land, on the set of an abortion-themed Three Stooges short?

Three Goons and No Little Lady?

Most of the arguments are moot anyway because they're made into a vacuum.

As I said before, I never repeat myself.

HAUS IS ONE IS TO TWIT FARMED?

I just had half an abortion. #masturbationjokes

Apart from the twitter aspect, this is more or less a rekindling of a controversial strategy previously employed by planned parenthood (I had an abortion t-shirts), and Ms. Magazine (2006 \"I had an abortion\" petition and related article): http://www.salon.com/life/broadsheet/2006/10/04/ms_poll/index.html?source=rss
