A TEXAS group is under fire for handing out holiday party favors that describe abortions as "magical."

The Texas Equal Access Fund (TEA Fund) shared a picture of what appears to be candles emblazoned with the message "Abortions are magical" accompanied with the colorful silhouette of a unicorn.

Getting our holiday party favors ready! Every year we honor our volunteers and make sure they get a token of appreciation at our annual holiday party.

"Getting our holiday party favors ready!" the organization captioned the Facebook photo posted on December 4.

"Every year we honor our volunteers and make sure they get a token of appreciation at our holiday party."

In a mission statement posted on TEA Fund's website, the nonprofit says it "provides funding to low-income people in the northern region of Texas who are seeking abortion and cannot afford it, while simultaneously working to end barriers to abortion access."

However, pro-life advocates slammed the group online for the "absolutely sick" post, claiming the TEA Fund brags about offering the procedure to underage girls.

"Absolutely sick: @TEAFund offered "Abortions Are Magical" candles as party favors at their holiday party," tweeted Mary Margaret Olohan, a Daily Caller reporter.

"As a side note, the TEA Fund brags about offering abortions to girls as young as 11-years-old."

Twitter user VB Nationalist echoed similar sentiments and deemed the post "sickening."

"Pro-Abortion Group The Texas Equal Access (TEA) Fund operates out of Dallas has Christmas Party Theme "Abortion is Magical". Sickening," they wrote.

March for Life extended an invitation to the pro-choice organization to their 2020 rally.

The group holds the largest pro-life rally in the US each year on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

"We'd like to extend an invitation to Texas Equal Access to the 2020 March for Life where they will hear about the beauty of life & how being pro-life is pro-woman, as well as hear the testimonies of women & men who regret having been involved in abortion," the group wrote on Twitter.

After significant backlash, the TEA Fund doubled down on their post and defended their choice of language in a lengthy Twitter thread.

"Abortions are magical for most people who have them and refuting that just increases stigma around abortion," the pro-choice group wrote.

"They are health care, self care, and community care."

The group underscored their commitment to helping people obtain access abortion care and providing them support throughout the process.

"We are proud to help people access abortion care and support them through the process. Regardless of age, race, gender, extenuating circumstance, income, sexuality, or ability, if it is their decision, we support them."
