American Victims of Abortion Outraged by Insensitivity of Planned Parenthood's "I HAD AN ABORTION" T-Shirts

This is a press release from the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC),
issued Tuesday, July 27, 2004.

Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider has introduced a t-shirt which has American Victims of Abortion outraged. The t-shirts, sold on Planned Parenthood's website, proudly state "I HAD AN ABORTION."

"Once again, the callousness and insensitivity of Planned Parenthood provides another example of just how out of touch they are with the reality of abortion and the impact it has on women," said Olivia Gans, director of American Victims of Abortion, an outreach of National Right to Life. "It is pretty clear that Planned Parenthood puts promoting abortion above concern for women."

The sale of the "I HAD AN ABORTION" t-shirts on Planned Parenthood's website has become so controversial that Planned Parenthood apparently temporarily removed the item from their online store yesterday. The t-shirts have since been re-posted for sale on their website.

"Every abortion not only ends a life, but it can leave a woman emotionally wounded," said Gans. "The experience of abortion is traumatic and devastating and I am appalled that Planned Parenthood would exploit the tragic experience of women like myself to further their agenda."

NRLC is the nation's largest pro-life organization, with 50 state affiliates and approximately 3,000 local affiliates nationwide. NRLC works through legislation and education to protect those threatened by abortion, infanticide, euthanasia, and assisted suicide.

VSHL is the Virginia affiliate of the National Right to Life Committee.
