Actress Lena Dunham has sparked a series of controversies and she has hit the spot yet again. This time the actress made a comment about abortion and the Internet blew up.
On her latest podcast, she looked back into one of the events she attended in Texas about planned parenting few years back and made the remark, “Now I can say that I still haven’t had an abortion, but I wish I had.”
Dunham, who is also a self-proclaimed feminist, also commented, “I realised then that even I was carrying within myself stigma around this issue. Even I, the woman who cares as much as anybody about a woman’s right to choose, felt that it was important that people know that I was unblemished in this department.”
I can't even imagine how offensive Lena Dunham's comments are to women who actually had to go through abortions

To be such a talented woman of words and writing, Lena Dunham still manages to say all the wrong things

Lena Dunham wants to have an abortion, as a social protest against the 'stigma' of ending a human life. Sick. https://t.co/i6pE7B2jou

Her remarks made a ton of people furious, and many have taken to Twitter to show their disapproval. Some users made statements regarding her lack of knowledge on the issue of abortion and her insensitivity toward such a weighty issue.
Later on Instagram, Dunham apologised for her remarks and said that her comments were made from her delusional persona and she often careens between wisdom and ignorance. Well, what do you think?
