On Nov 3rd, right after the Republican big win in the mid-term elections, a group of women started tweeting to an #ihadanabortion hash tag. The purpose was to publicly come out about their abortions and encourage other women to do the same. Apparently women who have had an abortion are very stupid about how the laws on abortion work because they didn't know that it is extremely unlikely to overturn a Supreme Court ruling just because one house in congress switches to the Republicans. They didn't know that even if it was overturned, the state laws would then take precedence if Roe V. Wade is overturned. Seventeen states have legal abortion, most of them on the heavily populated east and west coasts.
