Or is it like that woman who claimed she was getting pregnant and having abortions as an art project?
Honestly, if true, this is a horribly ill-conceived idea. If you want your friends to help out, go to them quietly, one at a time. Not that it's a matter to be ashamed of, but I really think, ten or twenty years down the line, it's not something the party-giver will be glad to have celebrated. Yes, I know it isn't the abortion being celebrated, but still, you are associating what should be a somber, well-thought out, difficult decision with an opportunity to get wasted.
I can see why right wingers would be upset. I am upset. And I think the commentators are being way to easy on this.
And an abortion is not like a tonsillectomy. It's pretty easy to take measures to avoid an abortion. Not so much a tonsillectomy.
