And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt
Posted by Bill Ok, pro-lifers. Have at the amazing stupidity of this product with (nearly all) the rhetoric in the world and I probably won't give you any crap. Coming soon: Rape shirts, incest shirts and shirts that declare pride for a whole host of private diseases, actions, family problems and mental conditions. UPDATE: Planned Parenthood took the page down after getting Drudge-lanched. Score another one for the Google cache ...

Posted by: Deb at July 26, 2004 02:58 PM So much for abortions being a "necessary evil." Maybe PP is shooting for a fashion statement. Perhaps it's time for my "You had irresponsible sex, you are dealing with an unwanted pregnancy, and now YOU want ME to pay for your abortion?" t-shirt. I always thought it was too callous of a message, even for a Republican. But whattheheck, we're all making bold statements anyway. Posted by: Gordon at July 26, 2004 03:02 PM No, your message is still callous ... I just find it pretty nuts that they would promote a shirt that takes pride in what (at the very least) should be an extremely private matter. Posted by: Bill from INDC Journal at July 26, 2004 03:04 PM This goes directly to the pro-choice dream of completely normalizing abortion. Make it a point of pride, or at least something that happens everyday, like brushing your teeth, and the debate is over. Might be a bit too early to puch for this, it might make some marginal supporters into marginal opponents (right Bill?) Posted by: madmark at July 26, 2004 04:09 PM Wasn't somebody marketing a "My mom didn't have an abortion" T-shirt at one point? Shouldn't someone be doing so now? Posted by: Jeff Harrell at July 26, 2004 04:48 PM I was going to say something sarcastic, and then a completely random thought suddenly occurred to me: the existance of the google cache suggests that google holds in its hard drives virtually the entire contents of the internet. And that's kinda cool. Posted by: Beck at July 26, 2004 08:29 PM Google's cache is just that, a cache. But there are several serious efforts to archive as much of the web as possible, such as www.archive.org. "My mom had an abortion, and all I got was this....uh, never mind." Posted by: Clyde at July 26, 2004 09:25 PM As I told a friend of mine: If you consider the fetus just a clump of cells, then the t-shirt is the biological equivalent of "I had a big poop." If you consider the fetus a human being, then the t-shirt is the moral equivalent of "I murdered a baby." Either way, probably not something you need to shout to the world.
