Catherine Briggs of LifeSiteNews (yes, the anti-abortion site) seems to have missed the point of a certain fundraising campaign by a wide margin.
In the world of social media, instant news has become a way of life. Thanks to Twitter and the diffusion of information at less than a moment’s speed, the DC Abortion Fund’s latest outrage has nowhere to hide.
In a move that can only be described as tasteless and sickening, the DC Abortion Fund has offered a gift of a coat-hanger pendant to anyone who signs up to donate $10 a month or more to their organization.
Far from being a disgusting joke, the DCAF is serious about this reward for their loyal donors. The organization’s motto itself features a coat-hanger dangling from the end of its last word.
Yes, and?
The pendant isn’t what’s tasteless and sickening, it’s the policy that would lead to more and more coat-hanger abortions that is tasteless and sickening. LifeSiteNews’s policy. The policy that opposes legal abortion.

Wearing a pendent that symbolizes fighting what Catherine Biggs is actually advocating isn’t what’s disgusting. That she’s is advocating for removing women’s bodily autonomy knowing that it will lead to more back alley abortions is what’s disgusting.
