The "i Had An Abortion" Shirts

Wow.

Today I was shopping at a mall with my mom and she was picking up her watch she had left to repair at this huge store (Burdines). I was waiting and kinda impatient, so I started looking around. I was looking at some clothes when a woman next to me dropped a whole bunch of hangers she was holding, so I bent down to help her gather them.

When I looked up I saw her shirt. It was the Planned Parenthood shirt I've seen in so many articles. It says in white "I had an abortion". And under it, in the type of letters you iron in, it said in big capital letters "AND REGRET IT", and in smaller letters "Pray for me."

I just looked at her, she couldn;t have been more than 25 or 26 or around there. She caught me looking at her shirt and turned around and went to another rack. I was just kinda standing there, thinking and when I turned around to see where my mom was I found myself looking straight at another shirt.

I was just kinda like "Whaat... :blink: :wacko: ", really surprised, I mean how many of those shirts do you see. It was identical, except it didn't have the "and regret it" and "pray for me" on it. It was the way Planned Parenthood sells it. This woman must have been in her thirties.

I moved aside, let her pass, then when I was about to leave I looked back and I saw them two kind of glancing at each others shirts over a rack (they were facing each other without noticing it) and freeze, look, and go in opposite directions.

It was weird. I can't describe it. It was like two opposites meeting each other, this young woman and the older woman, with different messages (the older woman's purse had a PP sticker...there's something called overdoing it :ph34r: ).

I just felt like writing this down.

That's all.

God Bless,

Vera

That is definitely quite a story. You don't often see things like that. Maybe the one who regretted will make the other think. I will definitely pray for both of them.

Yes, I am praying too. It's something pretty unusual to see in public...
