Sorry for being vague but I remember seeing some posts a while back about the Facebook page so I didn't know if I should say or not. Anyway, I don't know if anyone else saw it but there were derogatory comments about the women in the picture and the calling of women names in general. Pretty disgusting.

I had gone over to look. Didn't see that^. Probably a good thing. Thank you to the band for making this shirt available and for supporting Planned Parenthood. We're going to need all the help we can get. Can't wait to wear this shirt to the next march or town hall meeting.

I'm going to try and take a stab at planned parenthood. I understand both sides. It is fantastic that there is a facility that offers offordable healthcare. That isn't an issue at all.

The issue some people have, outside of religion is the illegal selling of dismembered fetuses to scientists. Also former workers testimonies of having to exicute babies that came out onto the table still alive. These stories anger people understandably. I'm not going to dive too deep into my abortion opinion at all, but I have a hard time wanting tax dollars to go to a multi billion dollar organization that isn't lawful. The head of planned parenthood takes home over a million dollars per year, and they independently a privately bring in over a billion dollars, so I fail to see the need to continue funding it via taxes. Same way I feel about the military. Just doesn't seem right.

I get why people don't like planned parenthood. And I also understand why people love planned parenthood. It's a great thing with some shady parts to it.

Love the band for taking a stand in what they believe in!

Ok, that was lame, didn't really make a difference, and negatively affected good fans. Not as cool

I love the design and love the concept but won't be buying one as there isn't a women's size. There is no such thing as a unisex t-shirt - men and women in the majority are different shapes

it has been my experience that unisex t-shirts are mens t-shirts with a different name. While I appreciate that there are women who are quite happy with this and will even choose this sizing over a womens size, I believe women sizes should be made available - especially for something designed to celebrate international women day. Alternatively how about sending extra large womens t-shirts out to all the men and calling them unisex sizes and see how they go down?

I love PJ and love what they are doing! They support loads of awesome causes

This is not a grip against them as a band - just a request for proper sizes

Hey man, respectfully, I would just like to say there's a ton of bullshit stories floating around making some of these claims. If you see one, read it and carefully consider the source, and ask what they stand to gain if people buy it.

Not sure what you mean about tax dollars going to support an "organization that isn't lawful". They offer cancer screenings, contraception, STD testing, and yes, abortions. But the organization is certainly lawful.

I'm just trying to stare some real reasons why there might be some opposition. I respect both sides of the debate. I'm not a female and haven't used planned parenthood, so I just speak of what I've heard and read. 100% respect what you say

I noticed that immediately and couldn't help but wonder why a shirt for IWD didn't come...in women's sizing.
