Planned Parenthood recently generated controversy with a tweet stating that “any reason is the right reason” for obtaining an abortion. The tweet shared a video featuring a biological woman who identifies as a male described abortion as one of the best decisions of her life.
When it comes to your abortion, any reason is the right reason. Telling your abortion story is important, and the more we talk about this essential form of health care, the more normalized it becomes.
Thank you for sharing, Lucky. Full version here: https://t.co/lC43YeAcMS pic.twitter.com/wRM4f7qIiN

Planned Parenthood believes sharing personal abortion stories helps to normalize the procedure and views it as an essential aspect of healthcare. The organization tweeted, “When it comes to your abortion, any reason is the right reason. Telling your abortion story is important, and the more we talk about this essential form of health care, the more normalized it becomes.”
The linked video in question featured a woman who not only had an abortion but also received gender-affirming support from Planned Parenthood. The individual, referred to as Lucky, discussed her experience of being in a difficult relationship when she became pregnant.
She regarded the abortion as an act of compassion, describing it as an easy and one of the best decisions of her life. Apart from promoting abortion, Planned Parenthood is actively pushing a radical leftist gender ideology. In a recent tweet, the organization aimed to promote and normalize the concept of “multi-gender” identity.
Lucky encouraged individuals to explore their feelings about their gender identity, allowing it to change day-to-day or over time. The organization implied that feeling like multiple genders is normal and acceptable. However, this promotion of gender dysphoria is extremely problematic.
Instead of offering traditional therapeutic approaches to address mental health concerns, Planned Parenthood appears to be endorsing a fluid and ever-changing understanding of biological gender and a well-documented psychological problem.
While it is important to support individuals in their self-discovery, many mental health professionals argue that therapeutic interventions, grounded in evidence-based practices, are more beneficial in addressing mental health challenges.
Planned Parenthood’s advocacy for various liberal ideals, including abortion and gender confusion, continues to shape public opinion. Critics argue how the organization’s current approach does not provide the comprehensive mental health support needed to be successful. Many who undergo gender-affirming surgeries later come to regret it.
Traditional therapeutic interventions, focusing on long-term healing and well-being, are often regarded as more effective in addressing psychological health concerns related to gender identity and dysphoria.
While the organization aims to normalize abortion while celebrating distorted self images, concerns will continue to arise regarding their obsession with promoting gender identity at the cost of providing adequate mental health care.
