Ani DiFranco Had an Ample Portion?

Ani D. is never one to shy away from peeving one half of the country off.

I don't see why she can't wear her 'I had an ample portion.' shirt, what's the big deal?

(Ok, just to stem the trickle of hate mail, I know that's not what the shirt says, geez, calm down.)

Here are a couple of the comments from the article:

What the Pro-Choice crowd doesn't seem to realize is that the rest of us consider abortion murder. If that's what you believe, that shirt might as well have said "I murdered my own baby." See how that is a bit upsetting? It doesn't matter how well you've done in business if you consider convenient murder something to be proud of or used for political gain.

Ben: do you see how the first and last sentences of your comment negate each other logically? Ms. DiFranco can't be assumed to share your belief that abortion is murder. With all due respect to your beliefs, slipping these kinds of fallacies into your arguments does you no service.
