Ok, all that aside, that third chick asking about college--- what does that shirt mean...? No clothes hangers? Is that an abortion statement or does she just like folded clothes over hung ones?
- Definitely a pro-choice statement: "Don't make women resort to [risky abortion techniques]"
  
  I especially like her panels because it illustrates that even liberal, socially conscious people need to stay aware of their own biases. I try to be a progressive person, but that certainly doesn’t mean I’m immune to this sort of thing.
  
  Yup, it's really well done
- I assumed it was an abortion statement (pro-choice, as in, "don't make women resort to unsafe back alley clotheshanger abortions").
- i think it could be a reference to saying no to plastic clothes hangers, since clothes hangers are an enormous source of plastic waste.
  
  Edit: yes i understand the anti dangerous abortion symbolism, but here are some sources to explain the environmental impacts that are starting to gain some press.

  I like that take, and I'm going to go charish my lovely ceder hangers for more than just their rustic smell.
