Nationwide birth control charity Planned Parenthood sailed into a perfect Tweetstorm when its Indiana and Kentucky branch declared \u201csome men have a uterus.\u201d The tweet drew ridicule from plenty of conservatives online.<\/p>\n

\n

Friday\u2019s pinned post on the group\u2019s Twitter account was apparently a politically-correct nod to trans men, those who are biologically female but identify as male. The statement, as is customary of today’s Twitter arguments, was repeated line after line until symbols ran out \u2013 11 times, to be precise.<\/p>\n

One trans man thanked the organization for recognizing he had a reproductive tract, or \u201cduderus\u201d<\/em> as he called it, while another said his \u201cbrovaries\u201d<\/em> were grateful.<\/p>\n

Veteran tough-guy actor James Woods, who proclaimed: \u201cLong live the new flesh\u201d<\/em> in David Cronenberg\u2019s cult shocker Videodrome<\/em>, was one of the first dissenters.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2018, we will continue to educate lawmakers and policy officials on the reproductive health needs of Hoosiers and Kentuckians,\u201d<\/em> the Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky Inc. website states<\/a>. It also pledges to provide \u201cmedically accurate sex education,\u201d<\/em> insisting: \u201cWe are evidence-based and data-driven.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The controversial tweet came after Planned Parenthood, which is partly funded by taxpayers, said<\/a> it would spend $20 million campaigning for pro-abortion \u2018candidates\u2019 in this fall\u2019s mid-term congressional and gubernatorial elections, warning Republicans: \u201cWe\u2019re voting you out in 2018.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In January, President Donald Trump announced new moves to allow state governments to opt out of funding Planned Parenthood, reversing Obama-era guidelines that warned doing so may violate federal law.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Trump-Pence administration is responsible for an unprecedented assault on Planned Parenthood patients and our communities,\u201d<\/em> said Planned Parenthood Votes Executive Director Deirdre Schifeling.<\/p>\n

The $20 million anti-Republican drive will initially target eight states: Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. \u201cWe are going to ensure that our elected officials have our backs,\u201d<\/em> Schifeling said.<\/p>\n

Students for Life of America, an anti-abortion organization, said on Friday they would respond with their own campaign to defund Planned Parenthood across West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Kentucky.<\/p>\n
