In an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/01\/10\/magazine\/debbie-wasserman-schultz-thinks-young-women-are-complacent.html\" target=\"_blank\">interview<\/a>, Schultz lamented the \u201ccomplacency\u201d of today\u2019s young women in the fight for abortion access. In response, pro-choice activists took to Twitter with the hashtag #deardebbie. They <a href=\"\/news\/top-democrat-under-fire-saying-young-women-complacent-about-abortion\/\">insisted that young women were passionate about abortion<\/a>, and some even called for Schultz to resign.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/entry\/debbie-wasserman-schultz-resign-dnc_568d86c2e4b0cad15e6335f9\" target=\"_blank\">Huffington Post<\/a>, the #deardebbie hashtag was started by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/erintothemax\" target=\"_blank\">Erin Matson<\/a>, co-founder and co-director of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/reproaction\" target=\"_blank\">Reproaction<\/a>, \u201ca new direct action group forming to increase access to abortion and advance reproductive justice.\u201d Shortly after Schultz\u2019s comments, Reproaction posted two pictures on Twitter, both depicting young women marching in protest with fists raised and banners waving. The pictures were captioned, \u201cWhere have you been, Debbie? Young women are leading the fight for reproductive justice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>These photos were retweeted by Matson and other pro-choice activists, including the organizations <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AIsForOrg\" target=\"_blank\">A is For<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lilithfund\" target=\"_blank\">Lilith Fund<\/a>. One of the pictures was even featured prominently in an article by <a href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/debbie-wasserman-schultz-fire-comments-young-women\/story?id=36141971\" target=\"_blank\">ABC News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One problem.<\/p>\n<p>The young women featured in the photos are clearly not rallying for abortion access.
