Lena Dunham: ‘I Still Haven’t Had an Abortion, but I Wish I Had’
Yahoo News ^ | December 20, 2016 | Taryn Ryder

Anytime Lena Dunham is trending online these days, it’s typically for some headline-making political comment. However, the Girls creator seems to have taken it too far for some people this time around.

On her podcast, Women of the Hour, the 30-year-old actress tackled the topic of abortion, saying that although she hasn’t had one, she wished she had. Dunham began by talking about how she was raised by her mother to be pro-choice.

“From an early age, she taught my younger sibling and me to say ‘anti-choice’ instead of ‘pro-life’ because she wanted to make sure that we knew that everyone is pro-life,” Dunham said. “Some people are anti-choice.”

Despite her pro-choice view, Dunham realized that even she unknowingly carried with her a stigma around the topic.

“One day, when I was visiting a Planned Parenthood in Texas a few years ago, a young girl walked up to me and asked me if I’d like to be a part of her project in which women share their stories of abortions,” she recalled. “I sort of jumped. ‘I haven’t had an abortion,’ I told her. I wanted to make it really clear to her that as much as I was going out and fighting for other women’s options, I myself had never had an abortion. And I realized then that even I was carrying within myself stigma around this issue. Even I, the woman who cares as much as anybody about a woman’s right to choose, felt it was important that people know I was unblemished in this department.”

She added, “Now I can say that I still haven’t had an abortion, but I wish I had.”

If she and I were the last humans on earth, that would spell the end of the human race.

I still never get the insanity of liberal idiots like Lena Dunham, where they want to shove their fat, naked, disgusting bodies for everyone to see and then in the same instance ready to call the same people she horrifies with those images, a pervert

In general, liberals seem to have an obsession with sex.

It ranks right up there with skin color in importance with them.

They are obsessed with flaunting their naked ugly bodies, and with homo sex. lesbo sex, recreational fornication of all kinds, sexual perverts, sexual deviates and every other kind of sex that normal people find inappropriate or even deplorable.

They fought "Blue Laws" claiming they just wanted privacy in their own bedrooms but ended up making their sexual proclivities public at every opportunity. They are never happier than when they are pushing inappropriate or abnormal sex in your face at every opportunity.

They seem to suffer from the same mental condition as the guy with the super loud car stereo and the booming super bass that rattles your house windows from three blocks away.

They are both Rebels With A Cause. Their cause is to irritate and disgust normal people by forcing themselves into your life.

Each one is determined to force their particular abnormality on normal people.

Don't like loud rap music booming through your neighborhood? Too bad.

Don't like adult male perverts using the girls restroom with your daughter? Too bad.

Don't want your business to participate in homosexual events? Too bad.

What if, and mind you this is a hypothetical, abortion represented the left’s ‘sacrifice’ to Satan? Her statement makes a lot more sense then, wouldn’t it?

With advent of monthly birth control coupled with a little responsibility, abortion should have declined precipitously.

"Lena Dunham has to be probably the most worthless creature built up into a “famous for being famous” celebrity by an amoral media."

That is one of the most eloquent and factual things I've ever read on FR.

She could get online funding to raise millions so she could hunt down a sperm donor to use to impregnate herself. Then, later, she could make a video of Planned Parenthood performing the murder of the 9-month "fetus" live online, thereby fulfilling her desire.

Yep. She’s what we used to call a racoon girl. If you wake up in the morning in bed with her and she is asleep on your arm you would chew it off rather than wake her up.

"Is that because no man would go near her?"

Any man that did get near her wouldn't be able to get a erection.

Until a person has killed someone...

Then saving their life is all that matters.

Is that because no man would go near her?

The women who harp longest and loudest about abortion tend to be those least likely to ever need one.
