Lena Dunham ofrece disculpas por broma sobre aborto

Lena Dunham se disculpó por decir que desearía haber abortado.

Dunham hizo el comentario en el episodio de la semana pasada de su podcast "Women Of The Hour". La guionista hablaba de su vista a una ONG proaborto, cuando una joven le pidió ayuda para animar a las mujeres a contar sus experiencias con el aborto.

La actriz, escritora y guionista de la serie 'Girls' dijo que, aunque ella nunca ha tenido un aborto, siempre ha luchado "para que las mujeres puedan tomar sus decisiones". Y agregó: "puedo decir que aún no he tenido un aborto, pero desearía haber tenido uno".

El comentario generó críticas en internet.

Este martes, Dunham se disculpó en Instagram por lo que calificó como "un chiste de mal gusto". Agregó que "nunca habría trivializado intencionalmente las dificultades físicas y emocionales de terminar con un embarazo".

My latest podcast episode was meant to tell a multifaceted story about reproductive choice in America, to explain the many reasons women do or don't choose to have children and what bodily autonomy really means. I'm so proud of the medley of voices in the episode. I truly hope a distasteful joke on my part won't diminish the amazing work of all the women who participated. My words were spoken from a sort of "delusional girl" persona I often inhabit, a girl who careens between wisdom and ignorance (that's what my TV show is too) and it didn't translate. That's my fault. I would never, ever intentionally trivialize the emotional and physical challenges of terminating a pregnancy. My only goal is to increase awareness and decrease stigma. I take reproductive choice in America more seriously than I take literally anything else, and therefore own full responsibility for any words I speak that don't convey this truth clearly. I know plenty of people will never like a thing that leaves my lips, mea culpas or no, but this apology is for the women who have placed their trust in me. You mean everything to me. My life is and always will be devoted to reproductive justice and freedom. You know how in some households you curse and have to put money in a jar? Well in mine, if you mess up your pro-choice messaging you have to give a sizable donation to abortion funds (https://abortionfunds.org/need-abortion) in New York, Texas and Ohio ????I look forward to fighting with you all for the next four years and beyond.
