In March 2016, a photograph purportedly showing two women holding signs in protest of Father's Day began circulating via social media: Although this image was shared as a genuine one representing a supposed movement to eliminate the observance of Father's Day over its alleged status as a celebration of patriarchy and oppression (associated with the hashtag #EndFathersDay at least as far back as 2014), the photograph — as well as the existence of the movement itself — was based upon a fabrication. The verbiage displayed on the signs the women are seen holding has been significantly altered from that which appeared in the original photograph. The genuine picture, which was taken during a January 2013 anti-abortion protest on the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision, captured women holding signs reading I regret my abortion: We've found no evidence of genuine widespread calls, expressed on Twitter or elsewhere, to eliminate the observance of Father’s Day.
