As Twitchy reported, Planned Parenthood got into the Halloween spirit Monday by hosting a #ScaryStats chat, which was crashed gloriously by the Susan B. Anthony List and plenty of pro-lifers.
Believe us, Planned Parenthood has chalked up plenty of stats that are downright chilling, but maybe a fact-check is in order for some of the ones shared today? Planned Parenthood Action Fund’s Steffi Badanes offered this gem:
In the United States, accessing a gun is easier than accessing an abortion. #ScaryStats

“Accessing a gun?” As in, purchasing one legally, as guaranteed by the Second Amendment? We ask because whenever Planned Parenthood frets about “access” to birth control, the issue is who pays for it, not its availability.

I really hate it when someone tries to tweet the dumbest tweet of the day. Stupidity like this just makes me weep for my species. https://t.co/K38C08ktGo

Wait…so I can now get a gun without a license? When the fuck did that happen? https://t.co/XWUoASdcua

If there were as many regulations governing abortion as there are gun ownership, abortion numbers would plummet. #ScaryFacts https://t.co/5QWNg4tjMS

When someone accesses an abortion, the odds of someone being killed are approximately 100% https://t.co/VMvvp0ldip

Accessing a gun isn't always ending in the loss of life
Abortion isn't a constitutional amendment
And you're STILL wrong on your premise ? https://t.co/Ppbi5OSbex— stop big meth (@HeWhoSmugs) October 30, 2017
