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.
Welcome to Twitter where the #scarystats are made up and nobody cares. https://t.co/6IqyC42nXA

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

You’ve clearly never tried buying a gun before have you. https://t.co/jhgtpocG54

Can someone's 14 YO daughter walk in to a gun shop and purchase it without her parents' knowledge or permission? https://t.co/0uJxPGj7fb

BREAKING NEWS: criminal background checks and waiting periods now required for abortions. https://t.co/UaJmKI7ube

What kind of background checks are required to get an abortion? @steffibadanes https://t.co/HX8NEC8hge

Really? You have to get background check to get an abortion? How long are the wait times, and how much is the tax stamp? https://t.co/TcY3nn9iLN

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

You can’t get an abortion if you’re a felon? https://t.co/c80wkHse75

You know what's easier than getting an abortion or a gun? Birth control. It's literally at every single drug store in the country, and reasonably priced. #Facts #ScaryStats https://t.co/spqNE9Kw8B

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

No matter what side you fall on this issue, this is clearly a lie ⤵️ https://t.co/XjVPkXLAW4

Only in a leftist Satan-led Utopia is "accessing" the murder of an unborn child easier than access to the God-given right of defensive arms. https://t.co/krsvQTr1pP

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— MrSpookaki ? (@MrShikaki) October 30, 2017
I wonder what it's like to chop up babies in utero and then gripe about gun access https://t.co/lP05KKBN5Y
