Planned Parenthood tweets 'what women want in 4 words' — and it immediately blows up in their face
June 18, 2017
Planned Parenthood got more than they bargained for when the organization recently took to Twitter to post about "what women want in four words."
The organization's Twitter account was adding to an already trending Twitter discussion using the hashtag "WhatWomenWantIn4Words." Many of the top tweets advocated for more women at the decision making tables, less domestic violence, an end to the "rape culture," an end of the gender "wage gap," and so forth.
But when Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest provider of abortions, tweeted what they want in just four words, they wrote, "No politicians in healthcare."
As to be expected, some of the organization's Twitter followers doubled down on Planned Parenthood's sentiment.
"Safe legal medical procedures," one woman wrote.
"Planned Parenthood fully funded!" added another.
But the overwhelming majority of responses rebuked Planned Parenthood, as many people said they want federal tax dollars to stop going to the organization:
No Funds For PP #WhatWomenWantIn4Words

No government funded infanticide

While many others pointed out that Planned Parenthood's tweet seemingly advocated a conservative policy position on health care:
Good, so you'll return all of the Government Subsidies forthwith, right?

Interesting... they want funding, but they don't want politicians in healthcare. You can't have it both way pic.twitter.com/zzxO3NOdsK

Aways with you @PPact but how can we get federal $ for universal healthcare if no politicians involved? Feels an argument FOR privatization

Glad you want to abolish government healthcare!

Still, others pointed out that although Planned Parenthood tweeted they want politicians out of health care, they regularly donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to politician's campaigns:
Hmm, maybe you should stop donating so much damned money to them

During the 2016 election cycle you made $787,000.00 in political contributions......https://t.co/kOmaKWv2LT
