The woman who tweeted she was happily having a miscarriage for 20,000 people

Penelope Trunk, 42, built her career advising others on how to create a professional online identity by telling them what to share and what to leave out. Having had two abortions and a miscarriage, Ms Trunk, professional blogger and CEO of her own company, "Brazen Careerist," was certain she didn't want another child. So when the company boss realised she was losing a baby during a board meeting, she chose to share her relief with 20,000 people on Twitter. She cheerily announced that she was relieved because it would spare her the trouble of going through with a planned abortion. Her message read: 'I'm in a board meeting. Having a miscarriage. Thank goodness, because there's a f*****-up 3-week hoop-jump to have an abortion in Wisconsin.' The 'tweet' was relayed around the world within hours, with angry bloggers calling the divorced mother-of-two callous and uncaring. Miss Trunk said the message caused her to lose about 70 of her 20,000 'followers' on Twitter. (Source)
