The Coat Hanger Around My Neck Is A Symbol Of History
COLLEEN CRINION – MARCH 25, 2014, 9:44 AM EDT
For years the DC Abortion Fund (DCAF) has given small, silver coat hanger pendants as a gift to monthly donors who give $10 or more. They are well liked among our supporters. On more than one occasion people have asked me how they can get one. When I wear mine, if I get any comments, they are positive. It’s often been a conversation starter about DCAF and the work we do.
Last week, however, some conservative outlets, who do not support a woman’s right to choose abortion, found out about this. Let’s just say they don’t share my view about the pendant. Once their base latched on, DCAF was inundated with hateful - and in some cases threatening - comments.
Comments like this one from former presidential candidate Herman Cain: “DC abortion fund pushing donations to show a special someone you love them so much, you'd murder the unborn for them.”
