assuming it's true, why is this in poor taste?
the no CARB diet- no Cheney, Ashcroft, Rumsfeld or Bush.

well, it's only obviously in poor taste for YOU.
i don't see anything wrong with people being proud of an intelligent decision.
yeah, it's not "PC", but then we all know my hatred of "PC".

it may not be something i'd wear, but that's because i'd rather have an AMIGA t-shirt.

Getting pregnant with a child that has to be terminated isn't an "intelligent decision", it's an "accident" and a way of dealing with it.
it's "intelligent" because it takes courage to do the right thing.

there are alot of married women with children - say about 2 - who can't afford another. and out of concern for their existing children must have abortions.
if there was a contraception that was 100% effective these abortions wouldn't be needed, but no one ever seems to notice this.

Pride? Geeze, you make it sound like it's a goal to be aimed for, let's get pregnant and get abortions.
trust me, no one has an abortion because they think it's fun. it's not a goal to have an abortion. it's a goal to do the right thing.

if you look at the t-shirts that planned parrenthood does have (according to the link you had), they expressed the idea that Every Child is Planned and Wanted.
THAT'S the real goal.

Wearing a shirt like that is grinding salt right into that wound.
like i said, i personally wouldn't be interested in wearing such a shirt - mostly because I don't care to become a billboard - but if i saw it on someone else I'd see it as a person expressing their pride in self-determination in the face of rampant Political Correctness. the Bain of the 20th century.

and, BTW, since i AM an artist, I can make my own Amiga shirt. I don't have to wait for anyone.

Time and cecilia wait for no man!

"Bad taste"
The pro-life movement has the lovely idea that there should be children crawling like worms over this whole planet, eating everything in it's way, and if there's nothing to eat anymore, they eat their weaker brothers or sisters.
actually, what these so-called "religious" "pro-life" folks do is that when some of the unaborted, unwanted kids grow up and become criminals, they just kill them legally with capital punishment.

I can imagine these persons do not want to live the rest of their lives in shame because their community condemns their situation and says that you should feel ashamed. They're just protesting against this community's ideas in the way mentioned.
FINALLY! somebody gets it! thanks speel!
yes, indeed.
in america, Land of the Puritan, trying to get people to feel shame is a national pastime.
I refuse to get sucked into this neurotic sickness. if an unfortunate situation has occured - dispite all precautions - the rational and inteligent thing to do is take care of it. and THAT willingness to be rational is what one should be proud of. even tho one is surounded by nuts and people who's entire goal in life is to make people feel bad.
