Planned Parenthood tweet claims ‘any reason is the right reason’ to abort a child

Planned Parenthood, the country’s biggest abortion chain, recently released an ad featuring a transgender-identifying individual who underwent an abortion, with the chain also claiming that any reason is a good reason to kill a preborn child.

Planned Parenthood’s initial claim — that “any reason” is an acceptable reason to have an abortion — opens the door to many other things — like using abortion to cover up crimes, racially-motivated abortions, or aborting because the baby is the “wrong” gender.

The individual, whose name was given as Lucky, was featured in an interview, explaining how the transgender community encouraged the abortion. Lucky became pregnant while in a difficult relationship, and didn’t feel ready to have a baby.

 

“My abortion was one of the greatest acts of compassion I had ever committed,” Lucky said. “It was an easy decision, and it was a decision that for the friends I had told I was trans, they were like, ‘Get it!’ ‘You know, that’s fine. Like, great!’ ‘You know — that’s your decision.’ You want to finally begin your life.’”

The irony is that Lucky’s “beginning” of life was predicated on the intentional ending of the life of another human being.

“It was just, one of the best decisions I had ever made,” Lucky continued. “Ever. In my life. I wish that more people understood that abortion is health care, plain and simple.”

There was immediate backlash to the tweet and video, with many people pointing out how radical and extreme Planned Parenthood’s position is. And despite the Twitter responses to Blackburn claiming that late abortions don’t happen or don’t happen except for “medical” reasons… this is simply false.

Induced abortion — the intentional and direct taking of a preborn child’s life — should never reasonably be considered health care, and it is not medically necessary to deliberately kill a preborn child to save a mother’s life in an emergency. As abortionist Don Sloan previously admitted, “The idea of abortion to save the mothers’ life is something that people cling to because it sounds noble and pure – but medically speaking, it probably doesn’t exist. It’s a real stretch of our thinking.”

Lucky also receives “gender-affirming care” from Planned Parenthood — a lucrative business, of which Planned Parenthood has become one of the country’s top providers… meaning that Planned Parenthood is able to exploit people like Lucky on several levels, further contributing to Planned Parenthood excess yearly revenue.

Did you know that as little as $10 a month is enough to reach more than 3,000 people with the truth about abortion that no one else is telling them? Click here to start saving lives 365 days a year.
