Planned Parenthood "Abortion" Tweet Controversy

On March 27th, 2018, the account for the Keystone branch of Planned Parenthood tweeted in the style of the joke by saying we need several Disney princesses who have characteristics associated with leftist values, such as "is pro-choice" and "is actually a union worker." The most controversial line of the tweet read "We need a Disney princess who's had an abortion." The tweet was deleted shortly after being posted (shown below).

The tweet riled conservatives and anti-abortion activists. For example, Ben Shapiro quote-tweeted the tweet, sarcastically writing "We need a Disney princess who stumps for sex-selective abortions on the taxpayer dime then lectures us about what small children they would have killed should watch for entertainment" (shown below, left). Donald Trump Jr. joked about the tweet by referencing the "identity politics war."
