The 2016 Lena Dunham apology tour keeps chuggin' along ... this time for wistfully wishing she'd had an abortion.

Dunham's come under heavy fire for a comment she made on her podcast last week ... describing the experiences of loved ones who'd had abortions. She said, "Now I can say that I still haven't had an abortion, but I wish I had."

So naturally, now she's backpedaling with an apology, calling her words a "distasteful joke." She also adds she'll be making a donation to abortion funds in New York, Texas and Ohio.
