Default "I had an abortion" fitted T-shirt

http://store.yahoo.com/ppfastore/ihadabt.html

"They have finally arrived!

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."




Does anybody find it ironic that a group called "Planned Parenthood" would produce a T-shirt sponsoring the unfortunate outcome of what is usually an unplanned pregnancy?

Perhaps we should counter with a T-shirt carrying the message:

"Your mother didn't have an abortion"

John.

It was only a matter of time before the priesthood of the sacrament of evil dropped the charade of caring and has moved on to boasting.

Here's how much this world has changed:

In times of old...."ye olde tymes"

Women would have to wear the Scarlet "A" on their clothing if commited Adultry....this," I had an Abortion" shirt for ME fits into that old scheme...as a sign of PUBLIC SHAME and old archaic church penance....today however...what SHOULD BE considered a shameful act, is now a badge worn proudly to show one is proud to commit MURDER, and offer blood sacrifce to the Devil himself.

People ask what exactly is the "Mark of the Beast"? Well here it is.... it has its very own T-Shirt.

I would HOPE that no woman would even think about wearing this...

As my wife said...

"Does it say 'I'm a murderer' on the back?"

I used to wonder if Planned Parenthood was really just in the abortion business for all the money they make from murdering children...now I am not wondering any more.

Sometimes good comes from evil. The good I see from this is the Pro-Aborts will identify themselves from wearing the t-shirts.

We will now know who to pray for, who to talk to stating the real facts about life and abortion & this will in turn help to change the hearts of Americans so practically everyone will be Pro-Life in the near future.

That is so bizarre. How about one that says "I shot my parents'. It would make about as much sense.

Somehow I have a problem with this being reall....hope its just one of those interent hoaxes. I don't want this one to be true!

I hope the makers and proud wearers continue to wear the shirts come judgement day...

Yes, a bad thing to wish, but its true.

They might as well have one that also says "I Murdered my baby" would they be so proud to do that?? I don't think so.
How bout " I'm following the devil?" Sick, very, very, sick, If I came across someone wearing a shirt like this, I honestly don't know what I would do or how I would hold back my emotions, I think I would have to turn and walk away and hold my children even closer to me. What is this world coming to? So sad.

Wink Re: "I had an abortion" fitted T-shirt

It really is not about what the world is coming to - it is about what the world is. Moral relatvisim (which I think really should be re-termed ME-ism) has a stranglehold. It will take many years of many Christians arming themselves with knowledge and standing for Jesus Christ to start making changes person by person.

However, the Catholic Church and Christian community has opportunity here. The t-shirt is rather vague - it merely states fact but no position is taken on remorse or promotion. We could come out with our own t-shirt that clarifies the saving message of Christ's death on the cross:

Front:
"I had an abortion. I'm sorry. I went to confession."

Back:
"I'm free from my sin. Jesus loves me. Receive His love."
