00:00 But one day, when I was visiting a Planned Parenthood in Texas a few years ago, a young
00:04 girl walked up to me and asked me if I'd like to be a part of her project in which women
00:08 share their stories of abortions.
00:10 I feel like Lena Dunham is always apologizing for things.
00:13 Remember the Odell Beckham thing and the weird stuff with her sister?
00:17 Girl star Lena Dunham is apologizing for saying that she wished she would have had an abortion
00:21 on her Woman of the Hour podcast this Tuesday.
00:24 Lena is a big abortion rights activist.
00:27 She talked about visiting a Texas Planned Parenthood where she was asked about her
00:31 experience with abortion.
00:33 Even though Dunham has been fighting for other women's rights options, she herself has not
00:37 had an abortion.
00:39 Lena went on to commend people in her life for their bravery and for what they had to
00:43 go through and she ended by saying this.
00:47 Now I can say that I still haven't had an abortion, but I wish I had.
00:50 Okay, that's a little controversial.
00:53 As you can imagine, people went to Twitter and she received major backlash.
00:57 She has now apologized through an Instagram post with a picture of the word "choice" saying
01:02 that it was a "distasteful joke" also making a donation to an abortion charity.
01:07 KFC Barstool says, "I can't even imagine how offensive Lena Dunham's comments are to
01:12 women who actually had to go through abortions."
01:15 Sam Escobar says, "Somebody let Lena Dunham know that there are other ways to fight stigma
01:21 than to speak out about yourself being directly affected by an issue."
