In 2003, iconic fashion magazine Vogue launched an offshoot aimed at covering fashion and celebrities for teenagers. That magazine, Teen Vogue, didn’t take long to find a new mission: to encourage young girls to engage in promiscuity and to portray abortion as something normal and insignificant, something equivalent to a quick weekend trip to the mall. Even as Teen Vogue’s sales declined, the hyper-focus on abortion, politics, and sexuality — in a “fashion” magazine — continued. In 2015, Teen Vogue was suffering from sales so low, it had to completely scrap its print magazine, and transitioned to an online-only publication. But the positive promotion of killing the most vulnerable humans among us continues.
This week, Teen Vogue praised an “abortion comedy tour,” boasting that it “fights anti-abortion stigma with humor.” The tour is spearheaded by pro-abortion comedienne Lizz Winstead, and in Teen Vogue’s write-up, readers are encouraged to stop viewing abortion as something negative or traumatic:
Those who are struggling with their abortion experience benefit from resources that can help them navigate those complicated emotions. However, the danger of only amplifying this specific narrative is that it becomes the dominant one, allowing for anti-choice ideologies to exploit that emotion and present abortion as predominantly emotionally disruptive for people.
