Remember what the so-called pro-lifers did when they found a message that might or might not have been attributed to Susan B. Anthony (most sources concur that she never signed her name that way) that might or might not have denounced abortion (the statement itself is rather ambiguous when taken into full context)? They created an entire anti-abortion society based on her name. She’s one of my heroes and I really hope she’s not rolling over in her grave over this crap.
Now that Planned Parenthood has decided to stop using a pro-choice slogan, I worry that the same thing could happen as so-called pro-lifers (I’m sorry, anyone who’s against a woman’s right to health and life in favor of the rights of a potential life just isn’t “pro-life” to me) point at Planned Parenthood and shriek, “See, they’re not for abortion anymore!” even as the country is finally more pro-choice than “pro-life.”
