‘Not Just a Women’s Rights Issue’: Planned Parenthood Abortion Ad Features Transgender Person

🏥Planned Parenthood released an ad on Wednesday in which a biological woman who identifies as transgender promotes abortion as a “people’s rights” issue rather than a women’s rights issue.

The video features the testimony of a woman named Lucky who identifies as transgender and is undergoing cross-sex medical treatment through 🏥Planned Parenthood. Lucky describes having an abortion in the early stages of adopting a transgender identity and says abortion is not just a women’s rights issue.

“I tell my abortion story because people need to understand that it’s not just a women’s rights issue, it is a people’s rights issue,” Lucky says in the video.

That’s fine. Like, great, you know. That’s your decision. You want to finally begin your life.”
