"In the most recent episode of her Women of the Hour podcast, Dunham reflected on a visit to a Planned Parenthood clinic in Texas, where someone asked her to join a project in which women would speak out about their abortions.
"I sort of jumped," Dunham says. "'I haven't had an abortion,' I told her. I wanted to make it really clear to her that as much as I was going out and fighting for other women's options, I myself had never had an abortion."
Of course, it doesn't take having an abortion to be an advocate for reproductive freedom. Dunham forgot this tiny detail — along with all other logic and morals — when she blurted out what followed:
"Even I, the woman who cares as much as anybody about a woman's right to choose, felt it was important that people know I was unblemished in this department," she said.
"Now I can say that I still haven't had an abortion, but I wish I had."
