I think it's reaaaaalllly distasteful. I'm all for pro-choicers having a symbol but that one is just awful - awful. And too close to home for the many, many women who have dodgy abortions in back-street clinics and end up permanently scarred if not dead.

I'm sure there are many icons out there that symbolise choice that aren't as offensive as a coat hanger. It's in very poor taste IMO.

I honestly don't find that coathanger offensive, to be honest, although I would be a little concerned about walking down the street, wearing it around my neck. People are likely see it and know immediately what it means. Not sure if I would do that, but as something to keep at home, sure. I'd buy one.
