As Twitchy reported Tuesday, Planned Parenthood Keystone posted and then quickly deleted a tweet claiming, “We need a Disney princess who’s had an abortion,” among other “needs,” like a pro-choice princess and a trans princess.
Earlier, Planned Parenthood suggested ‘we need a Disney princess who’s had an abortion’ and then they deleted it.

Again, that tweet didn’t last long, but there was enough of a backlash that Slate was able to do a “conservatives pounce” take:
Yay, right-wingers saw this dumb tweet a Planned Parenthood center did and now it’s a whole thing https://t.co/vIXuatTeYg pic.twitter.com/AHErPPG7cP

Hey, don’t say it was a dumb tweet! Instead, be like Jezebel, say “Hold my beer,” and use some statistics to prove that it was pretty clever.
Statistically, at least 2 Disney princesses have had abortions https://t.co/hnyRi8VTjI pic.twitter.com/26kvDGc6YN

According to the Guttmacher Institute, 23.7 percent of women in the United States will have had an abortion by age 45. According to the “official” Disney princess website, there are 11 “official” Disney princesses: Belle, Rapunzel, Ariel, Tiana, Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Merida, Pocahontas, Jasmine, and Mulan. That means statistically around two and a half of these strong women have gotten abortions and aren’t telling you about it because of a national culture of shame and misogyny!!!
Statistically speaking, then, two-and-a-half Disney princesses have had abortions, but they’re not “shouting their abortions” because of our culture of misogyny.

Statistically, 3 would-be Disney princesses were aborted and denied the right to live. https://t.co/QSPeHTMDLd

This is not how statistics work, you utter and complete morons. If it were, statistically, every US family would have 2 whole kids and .4 of a child. https://t.co/3FJEpEzp76

Are you considering the abortion rates during the era each film was set in, or are you using today's rates? https://t.co/dqex6GltdQ

What are Planned Parenthood’s rates for baby parts these days?
You're applying statistics for women in modern-day America to fictional characters from different time periods in different countries (some of which are also fictional) to make a 'well, actually' article. https://t.co/Qc9WIZ0mRS
