Reproductive Destruction

A woman sits down, and smiles at the camera, before announcing, “Hi, my name is Lucky. And I’ve had an abortion and I get gender-affirming care from Planned Parenthood.”

Lucky says she “wound up in a very, very difficult relationship” and found out she was pregnant within three months. “My abortion was one of the greatest acts of compassion I’ve ever committed,” she says, adding that it was “one of the best decisions I’ve ever made,” and concluding that “people need to understand that it’s not just a women’s-rights issue. It is a people’s-rights issue.”

Lucky’s testimony is difficult to listen to. Not only because what she’s saying about her abortion is so tragic and inhumane, but because her voice is unnaturally distorted by the effects of cross-sex hormones.

If this was an attempt to make Planned Parenthood sound more pro-woman, it failed.
