Planned Parenthood: A Superhero for Choice

[RumTumTugger]

so much misinformation, and falsehoods. most birth control methods will not stop STDs. the only 100% safe way to not get pregnant is abstinence but they don't want that truth to be known do they.

well the teen is safe because she doesn't plan on getting any STDs... so there!

Superhero for Choice is here to ruthlessly murder those who dissent, deliver poorly phrased propaganda, and erect strawmen!

well this was clearly an actual Planned Parenthood video and not some counter-abortion video made to make them look bad.

I found two articles from back in 2005 when it was released

(this one actually has a link to where the video used to be on the PPGG website. The video is not there now.)

PS - apparently after this fiasco and others, PP closed down the Golden Gate offices

I can't imagine why they would take this off their website

Man, forget Marvel and DC; they don't know nothin bout superheroes. PP's Superhero for Choice is my new favorite superhero. When will she get a movie?

I'm struggling to tell the difference between PP and Marvel/DC these days, actually.

They also made Captain America a hydra agent. People wonder why independent comics and webcomics are getting more viewership.

Well, total abstinence as birth control only failed one time that I'm aware of, and that turned out OK.

So she drowns the 'snidely whiplash evangelist' in a garbage can of full of water.....

If you can murder innocent babies, I guess it's OK to drown your opponents, too, not just stifling free speech, but killing them?.....

Are we sure this isn't an onion kind of thing, designed to make us look foolish for believing it's really from PP?

Seriously that was my first thought. That it is from a spoof site with a similar name designed to trick the gullible. I mean who could be so freaking idiotic?

EGGzackly! But that's the thing - liberals tend to take it to extremes and become parodies of themselves.

Anyone can do that no matter the political affiliation. I have to say though living where I do stds are not always attained through intercourse. In fact quite a few people are born with them. The video ironically put it best when it said no one plans to get an std.

Margaret Sanger is no hero. Pandora Ramabai, Saint Bathilde, The virgin Mary, Jael, and thousands of others are.

Interestingly, Margaret Sanger herself was actually opposed to abortion, although that opposition seemed to come more from concern of its medical risks than belief it was wrong in and of itself. Nevertheless, her primary goal was to allow access to contraceptives to everyone, partially due to the belief that their usage would reduce abortions due to preventing unwanted pregnancies to begin with. Planned Parenthood only started performing abortions after her death.

Yeah, she was adamantly opposed to abortion. Nevertheless, she was a big supporter of eugenics but then a surprising number of prominent folks, both liberal and conservative, were as well.
