Story highlights The effort is in defense of Planned Parenthood, whose funding some want to take away

It's naturally generated an online argument about abortion

(CNN) Women concerned about Republican efforts to take funding away from Planned Parenthood have taken to social media with a hashtag encouraging others to "shout your abortion."

It will surprise no one that it's turned into a bit of a fight, with abortion-rights and anti-abortion partisans duking it out and a not-insignificant cadre of those who think the whole idea is a little too much throwing rocks, as well.

The movement started Saturday with a Facebook post by a woman named Amelia Bonow, who recounted the story of her abortion and the "inexpressible level of gratitude" she felt afterward.

"I am telling you this today because the narrative of those working to defund Planned Parenthood relies on the assumption that abortion is still something to be whispered about," Bonow wrote. "Plenty of people still believe that on some level -- if you are a good woman -- abortion is a choice which should accompanied by some level of sadness, shame, or regret. But you know what? I have a good heart and having an abortion made me happy in a totally unqualified way. Why wouldn't I be happy that I was not forced to become a mother?"

Seattle writer Lindy West took a screenshot of the post and added the #ShoutYourAbortion hashtag.
