This year’s annual re-read will be especially poignant. RIP.

Yes, just like Hugo Boss clothing and Volkswagens are anti-Semitic organizations because, you know, Nazis.

I don’t think it’s really that odd that Sanger hasn’t been renounced by PP or the left. I think the fact that she was a eugenicist, at this point, is fairly inconsequential considering what Planned Parenthood has become. That being said, I absolutely agree that it’s a history that should be taught—hence my analogy…

They aren’t actually trying to solve the “problem” of abortion, though, they are trying to solve the “problems” of women living independently and having, as they put it, sex without consequences. Poverty and lack of reproductive choice are really, really good at solving those “problems.”

Bless you. Everyone supports the ideas behind eugenics until you say the word eugenics.

Yes yes, I know, but it’s pretty irrelevant at this point in terms of Planned Parenthood having a racist agenda. Do you disagree?

And Woodrow Wilson was a flagrant racist—there was a time in this country where things like phrenology and eugenics were just science...

After Roe v. Wade men in the civil rights movement, including Jesse Jackson, spoke out against abortion for black women calling it black genocide.

Thank you. Not that it’s a good thing that boys get abused but seeing as it’s mostly women and girls, when people only focus on the boys it really bothers me. It’s like when you bring up DV and someone chimes in with, “but what about the male victims" and you know they don't actually care about male victims they just…

The best way to reduce abortion is to reduce poverty. The problem is the “pro-life” crowd keeps electing politician that want to cut assistance to the poor. So, the “pro-life” crowd actually helps to create the conditions that increase the likelihood that women will choose to have an abortion over giving birth. Of…

XCP graduate here! People like this patriarchal prick are why I specifically volunteered for PP in high school (despite it being forbidden by the school), tried to take same sex dates to school dances (again forbidden - never gained entry), and consequently received approximately 50+ detentions throughout my tenure.…

Yeah, but if this school is receiving one penny in federal funding, I wouldn’t mind bringing the hammer down on shit like this.

Sooo despicable, with those completely made-up “statistics.” As a Black woman, I am particularly offended when people insist that I shouldn’t have reproductive rights because Planned Parenthood was created in an effort to keep Black women from having children. A friend of my decided that was enough for her to be…

The whole #BlackGenocide (interestingly, both #BlackGenocide and #WhiteGenocide are used by racist white assholes) thing is so incredibly frustrating because it dehumanizes and demeans the actual people making the choice to get an abortion, who are the Black Women themselves. It’s the worst form of concern trolling.

Is it wrong that I feel like I’d much rather asshole people spread this bullshit propaganda in private institutions and not in fucking congress and in public schools?

Here’s a thought: If black women are being kidnapped and forced to undergo unwanted abortions, then maybe you can do something to help arrest the kidnappers, Mr. Pamphlet.

Flyers like this normally tend to come from pretty racist people, too. The only interest they have in actual black bodies is using them to fight against the right to abortion. Notice there’s never anything about programs to help young & poor black mothers once the baby is out of the womb.

I’ve argued this point myself. Adults do more to put children in vulnerable situations than to send them to into public restrooms. So many people I know, especially those in positions of authority don’t really want to “rock the boat.” They don’t want to be the noisy one calling out inappropriate behavior or…

Not at all. When anyone comes out of the shadows, it helps all of us.

There are times I wish I could still report my experience from years ago, but I couldn’t handle the disbelief and victim blaming. I can only ever speak of it anonymously. My SOs certainly can never know.
