Wow. Well, I knew Hallmark would never touch this, but exhale did. They’re a post-abortion counseling service that put out a series of e-cards to send after an abortion. Now, before any exhale Technorati rangers email me to say I should have more sympathy for women going through this, well, I do. Always have. I can’t imagine the dilemma they face nor the incredible stress most must experience. Still, while a comforting word of support and strength is the right thing to do, it’s undermined by the Stuart Smalley “You did the right thing” line. It’s just wrong on so many levels. Might as well say, “You go girl!” Wouldn’t want anything interferring with that Sex In The City lifestyle. Pro-life or pro-choice, those words shouldn’t be equated with abortion. And it’s a little more than self-serving to put these cards out and announce it like some new product: “NEW! Exhale launches first-ever series of after-abortion e-cards!” Do woman who have abortions tell so many people about it that there’s a need to send a card?...(via Drudge)Tags: exhale
