33. The *ethics* of abotion is PoV.

Oct 2016

What constitutes the medical procedure is NOT.

The behaviors of both crowds are not subjective, either. One can objectively point to the anti-choice crowds history of reframing the debate in terms of emotionally-laden language and misinformation campaigns. The same cannot be said of Planned Parenthood. PP cannot legally DO what the anti-choice crowd does. They would lose their ability to practice medicine if they so grossly misrepresented clinical practices and patient data.

Subjective opinion does not mean something is objective reality.

This isn't so much about who she is citing as what she is doing- using propaganda to attack something she doesn't like. The who is secondary to what she herself did. The quote was a how-to for her followers on how to attack PP. She also used the quote to project the behavior of the anti-choice community onto Planned Parenthood. The fact that the anti-choice crowd repeatedly tries to link PP to racism and she is equating their behavior with frakin Hitler is the cyanide icing on the poison cake this crowd is trying to feed America.

I'm done discussing this unless you can stay on topic. Maya Angelou and colonialism have nothing to do with the conversation.
