Planned Parenthood used an eyebrow-raising term to promote its new video

Planned Parenthood recently used an eyebrow-raising slang term to promote its new video: “slay.”

In a post on the group's website promoting a new video from writer and director Joss Whedon about the organization, Planned Parenthood urged supporters to “Watch. Share. Slay.”
