The whole reason these "I had an abortion" shirts even happened was that, in France about 10 years ago, a lawmaker said that women who have had abortions really won't ever become much and they'll still end up having kids they can't afford and become a drain on society. I think he said something to the effect of, "show me a successful woman who has terminated her pregnancy."
So, in response to that, a fairly large group of powerful women in French government, businesss, etc. decided to come forward in a major newspaper and admit that they had had abortions. In the US, the Ms Foundation decided to do the same, but...with T-shirts.
Kind of creepy, huh?
