Hashtag draws abortion rights and anti-abortion comments Live
The hashtag #ShoutYourAbortion has been trending on Twitter for at least two days, as abortion rights supporters share their tweets about their abortions, and anti-abortion people respond.
The hashtag is trending as politicians in the U.S. House passed legislation to de-fund Planned Parenthood. Next week, the federal budget year ends, and the issue of Planned Parenthood funding has become a sticking point in passing a bill that would allow government agencies to continue operating.
Here's what local Twitter users are saying on the hashtag:

#shoutyourabortion My abortion was much like any miscarriage. And it kept me here for my other 2 children.

#ShoutYourAbortion is an important narrative that is breaking down the stigma attached to abortion. Not glorifying. Normalizing.

For or against, #ShoutYourAbortion is bringing to light the discussion that started long ago. Abortion isn't a dirty word. Talk about it.

At best #ShoutYourAbortion is telling people your are too dumb to use birth control properly. At worst you're a murdering whore.

Lindy West is one of the originators of the hashtag.
The campaign to defund PP "relies on the assumption that abortion is to be whispered about." #ShoutYourAbortion http://t.co/r1ilpCVr30
