A new T-shirt, branded with the phrase, "I had an abortion", has become the topic of debate on the Internet and among advocates on both sides of the abortion debate since Planned Parenthood began selling the T-shirt online last month for $15US.
Though not created by Planned Parenthood, the pro-abortion organization stated on its Web site that it was "proud to offer yet another T-shirt in our new social fashion line," reported Sun Valley Newspaper.
The fitted shirt was created by Jennifer Baumgardner of New York for the 30th anniversary of Roe v. Wade in January 2003.
Baumgardner said the shirt is not meant to be shocking but to “personalize and make specific a debate that's become abstract and divisive,” she told SVN.
