Planned Parenthood Drops New Ad Campaign “Protect Our Freedom to F—” After Massive Opposition
LIFE NEWS ^ | July 24, 2018 | Micaiah Bilger

Planned Parenthood’s latest, profanity-laced ad did not resonate with supporters as it had hoped.

Launched earlier this month, the Planned Parenthood of New York City ad campaign promoted abortion and promiscuous sex with the slogan “Protect our freedom to f—.”

But on Friday, Planned Parenthood took down the ad campaign, supposedly because it stirred up more shock and outrage than support, according to The Federalist.

The campaign video, which dropped 20 “f bombs” in 45 seconds, was taken off Planned Parenthood’s YouTube channel sometime Friday evening, and the campaign fundraising website now redirects people to a generic donations page. LifeNews also could not find any references to the campaign on Planned Parenthood of NYC’s social media accounts.

The abortion giant had hoped the profanity would resonate with young adults.

Gerard Caputo, CEO of BBH NY CCO, which created the ads, previously told AdWeek that Planned Parenthood of New York City wanted a campaign that is not easy to ignore.

“‘Freedom to F—’ is meant to speak to a younger generation more empowered than ever and hopefully willing to help,” Caputo said. “It all starts with the courage to do something different and we believe we have already succeeded.”

SIGN THE PETITION! Congress Must De-Fund Planned Parenthood Immediately

But it gave the opposite impression.

Reacting to the ad earlier this month, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council wrote: “As offended as you are by the language, I think we should all be more offended that our tax dollars are paying for it! If Planned Parenthood wants to put its perverse vulgarity on display, that’s their right. But they shouldn’t have a right to make Americans foot the bill for it.”

Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion chain in America. Its most recent annual report showed a record income of $1.46 billion, with about half a billion dollars coming from taxpayers.

Some of those tax dollars are used to support Planned Parenthood’s risky sex education program, which it pushes on vulnerable young school students across the country. Others are used to subsidize its massive abortion practice, which aborts about 320,000 unborn babies every year. And those actions are more horrible than any ad campaign, no matter how profane.

Planned Parenthood I could tell you what you did wrong, no really!

You see that "F" word you used over and over in your ad? Yea you see the kids already know and use that word in their daily life so they are not really impressed by it. Yea Madonna kind of made that word mainstream in the 1990's so it's kinda cliché by now.

See what you need to do is get out this thing called a Thesaurus, and no that was not a dinosaur that was on InGen's list at Jurassic Park okay? Get out a Thesaurus and find words these kids don't know and use those words in your ad!

Try using say $25. or $50. dollar words in your ads, instead of cheap words that are not worth a wooden nickel.

You won't do it because most of you are poorly educated and really can't get your mind out of the gutter. So go back to the Kinsey Hole you crawled out of and catch your next STD.

“Protect our Freedom to Fail”

What’s offensive about that?

One of these days scientists are going to figure out what causes pregnancy, and devise ways to prevent it before you have to kill a baby you didn’t want.

It seems like the new PR arm for the Democrats is simply ridiculous teenagers like Dave Hogg and Alexa Cortez.

There's not even an argument or nugget of attempted persuasion in their sound bites ... it's just schoolyard power declarations by nerds against imagined bullies, signaling to each other how brave they are when there are no consequences. Almost like the dems have left the party to the kids, no longer a profitable racket.

Some say it’s something in the water.

Others say it has something to do with a man sticking his penis into a woman’s vagina.

Nah. It's caused by aggressive Republican Nazi Trump-fetuses accosting random blameless women on the street and climbing right in.

Y'know.

I expect their might be a few campaign ads by pro-life candidates to show how radical and out-of-the-mainstream PP is: No values there that resonate with normal people who love children and families.

Planned Parenthood will never have an ad campaign about behaving responsibly like civilized adults.

Planned Parenthood, you had to be told this was a bad idea?
Who’s writing your Ad copy? Precociously promiscuous 13 year old girls from the Ghetto? Send each one of those girls back to Oakland, Compton, The Barrio & wherever.

This is what happens when the hive-mind takes over and people are afraid to speak up. Somewhere along the chain, their HAD to be someone who thought “this is a really stupid, offensive ad that will only hurt our cause”, but they were AFRAID to speak up.

Planned Parenthood AKA Murder Inc. is the most despicable organization in the US with unbelievable influence and tax benefits.

PP promotes sex between irresponsible heterosexuals with the goal of killing and harvesting living embryos; millions of society’s future, innocent human beings.

There is NO parenthood involved - just murder!!!!!

Consider that lesbians and gay men do not cause infanticide like the PP criminals. Some gays foster, adopt and welcome children into their ‘families’. There are child abusers in their ranks however, so this is not an endorsement - just a comparison.
