Shock Responses After Planned Parenthood Tweets Hillary Clinton 'God' Quote: 'And You Kill How Many Per Day?

Critics have been taking aim at a tweet that was sent by Planned Parenthood on Saturday, with one outlet claiming that the controversial organization "unselfconsciously parodied itself."

"Every child deserves the opportunity to live up to their God given potential. @HillaryClinton #blacklivesmatter," Planned Parenthood wrote before receiving an onslaught of harsh responses.

The tweet was quoting from a statement that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton uttered during Saturday night's debate, but critics pointed to purported hypocrisy in light of the fact that Planned Parenthood is the nation's largest abortion provider.

Every child deserves the opportunity to live up to their God given potential. @HillaryClinton #blacklivesmatter

— Planned Parenthood (@PPact) November 15, 2015

"The same organization that snuffs out over 320,000 unborn babies has the gall to talk about children – make that 'every child' – deserving the same opportunity to live out their potential," Dave Andrusko wrote for LifeNews.com, a pro-life website. "They even dragged God’s name into it."

Live Action's Cassy Fiano added, "It’s unbelievable that someone at Planned Parenthood thought this was a good message to send out."

The responses on Twitter were even more pointed.

@Thisl @PPact @HillaryClinton @bj116 How do #BlackLivesMatter when most abortion clinics are strategically placed in black neighborhoods.

Christian hip-hop artist Derek Minor responded, "How do #BlackLivesMatter when most abortion clinics are strategically placed in black neighborhoods?"

And writer Mollie Hemingway of the Federalist tweeted back, "My God. And you kill how many per day?"

Here's what others had to say:

@PPact nice of you to acknowledge that it was God who made the millions of lives you ended.

In order for a child to reach her "God given potential" wouldn't she need to be born, @PPact and @HillaryClinton?

@PPact how many black lives do you take every single day? Hundreds? Thousands? @HillaryClinton

@PPact This would be a great quote if it wasn't for the whole murdering children thing you do.

@PPact @HillaryClinton The lack of self awesness and irony of this is in the beyond stupid stratosphere.

At least one person didn't like that Planned Parenthood had brought God into the discussion at all:

@PPact Always felt safe knowing you wouldn't bring "God" into the discussion a/b women's bodies/rights, why now? #disappointed

@rac80 @PPact sorry for the confusion. I am pro-choice and was frustrated that pp was using the same rhetoric as gop/anti-woman propoganda
