There was a time when pro-abortion activists claimed to want abortion to be “rare.” Now, Hollywood starlet Cynthia Nixon sported a “Make Abortion Great Again” hat, as though ending unborn lives by the tens of millions was ever “great” or something to be celebrated. And singer Lily Allen giggled about not being able to remember how many abortions she’s had. Times have certainly changed.
Nixon posted the sun-soaked Instagram photo to protest Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill defunding abortion giant Planned Parenthood. Libs insist the government shouldn’t meddle in abortion but love it footing the bill.
The post oozes Hollywood smugness, framing abortion as empowering, not the tragic loss it is. A failed “Democrat Socialist” politician, Nixon’s Instagram reads like a “How to be a Good, Virtue-Signaling, Hollywood Activist for Dummies” guide. But the performative hat post crossed a line for fans on both sides of the abortion issue:
“I’m pro-choice … (none) of my friends who had an Abortion thought it was Great.” -@tigbyhillvintage
“I am pro choice. But celebrating abortion as great is actually quite sick! It’s a traumatic decision for everyone and it leaves an emotional scar forever…” -@drgerstmannyc
“I’m pro-choice and I think that hat is absolutely repulsive.” -@stef.wilks1031
“Ask any woman who’s gone through an abortion if it was ‘great’. I can’t believe this post is still up.” -@thejamiemcguire
“This is truly depraved and evil. Why in the world would any human celebrate the genocide of infants?”- @rootedlifewellness
“This is pretty sick… there’s nothing ‘great’ about abortion. Even if you’re pro-choice… it’s not ‘great,’ it’s a tragedy.” -@mantarnyc
“Promoting the genocide of innocent human beings is sick.” -@natalgas
The vast majority of comments were critical of the post with only a sprinkling of comments supporting it, leading a couple of users to cheer:
“Thank you to all the sane humans because the comments confirms (sic) this post is completely distasteful and out of touch.” -@houseofhullihen
“I love the left and right agree that this is one sick hat..” -@spinkandy86
When she’s not virtue signaling on Instagram, Nixon plays a character who sleeps with a Catholic nun (played by Rosie O’Donnell) on HBO’s Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That.
She also stars in HBO’s period drama The Gilded Age. Victoria Robinson, CEO and Founder of Reassemble, a “post-abortion trauma counseling” organization, expressed her displeasure in watching the show:
"I turned off that channel for good, Seeing you on any show will now only remind me of this picture. So I’ll never be watching one again."
We can only imagine how such a glib slogan must affect the many women who are trying to heal from their abortion trauma.
At least two other users commented they won’t be supporting Nixon or HBO anymore, either:
“And ‘just like that’, I’ll never support anything you ever do. I’m so grateful my teenage mom chose life.” -@kelleyrosecovell
“@hbo @hbomax and just like that, I’m cancelling my subscription…” -@cesarame
Nixon claims her stance stems from her mother’s illegal abortion. How does learning your sibling was aborted inspire a cause to champion? Her sibling’s voice was silenced, yet Nixon enjoys the privilege of speaking out. And it could have been her own life that was lost had the timing been different.
Unfortunately, Nixon’s not alone in her extremism. Singer Lily Allen recently created a firestorm after bragging on her podcast that she “can’t remember” how many abortions she’s had after getting pregnant “so many times,” singing and giggling about it like a deranged Disney princess:
Then there’s the “Shout Your Abortion” crowd, peddling “Being PRO-ABORTION is the cutest” merch, (emphasis theirs) with shirts boasting “Everyone knows I had an abortion” and “Congratulations on your abortion” cards, which we refuse to link to.
While Nixon sails into the sunset preening for likes, the unborn don’t get a filter to pretty up their massacre. Abortion isn’t “great.” No snarky hat, “cute” merch, or vacuously braggadocios pop star can hide its tragedy. Hopefully, the backlash to Nixon and Allen will fuel pushback against the extreme pro-abortion movement’s attempt to normalize this atrocity.
