Lena Dunham Creates Cartoon Celebrating Racist Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger

In anticipation of the upcoming Women’s March on Washington, celebrities from Lena Dunham and Meryl Streep to Jennifer Lawrence are celebrating the nation’s largest abortion provider: Planned Parenthood.

On Tuesday, actress Lena Dunham debuted 100 Years, an animated short about Planned Parenthood that she created, along with other big names, in collaboration with her Lenny Letter and Now This Her. Dunham boasts strong ties with the abortion giant (and recently made headlines for saying she wished she had had an abortion).

The video, narrated by multiple celebrities, aimed to tell the “story of the incredible woman who sacrificed everything” for “safe & affordable reproductive healthcare.” In other words, Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger.

“No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her own body,” the video quoted Sanger as saying.

Dunham couldn’t be prouder of her latest project, according to comments published by the Hollywood Reporter.

“We’ve been working on the film for over a year in an attempt to shed light on Planned Parenthood’s remarkable history and ongoing battle to keep serving the people who show up to their health centers every day of the year,” Dunham gushed. “I really think it’s the best cartoon about the history of reproductive freedom ever made, but it may also be the only cartoon about the history of reproductive freedom ever made.”

“The spirit behind this video will hopefully take us into the Women’s March on Washington this weekend, where we will be showing our new president that we’re not going to allow a hundred years of progress to disappear overnight,” she added.

The day after the inauguration, the women’s march promises to bring thousands of women together to “send a bold message” that (as Hillary Clinton once said), “women’s rights are human rights.” Except, according the march’s pro-abortion platform and its behavior towards pro-life organizations like Students for Life, “women” doesn’t include all women. The organizers recently removed pro-life group New Wave Feminists from their partner list, while boasting Planned Parenthood and NARAL as partners.

Dunham’s video boasted many celebrity voices telling the stories of women who wrote to Sanger begging for help. “I would rather die than become pregnant again,” one of them read.

Using the talking points of Planned Parenthood, the video celebrated Sanger’s and Planned Parenthood’s history.

Dunham even defended Sanger’s work with eugenicists. “Way back in the 20th century, eugenics was an immensely popular social movement,” Dunham said, “one with the kind of widespread legitimacy Margaret craved for her own birth control campaign.”

“While there’s no question that Margaret left behind a conflicting legacy,” she added, “it’s also true that she was a champion of progress.”

Besides birth control, the video went on to celebrate the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in the United States, and bewailed the Hyde amendment that prevents federal funding from going towards abortion (with a few exceptions).

I noticed today that Houston’s “non-partisan” League of Women’s Voters has put together a local solidarity march with the DC march.

How do they retain their “non-partisan” status with that BS?

Public · Hosted by League of Women Voters of the Houston Area

Since the inception of the 2017 Women’s March on Washington, the League has monitored the developments and plans for the event on January 21. Over the past few weeks, organizers have obtained permits and security, disclosed additional information about the organizers and partner organizations, and shaped the grassroots demonstration as a diverse and inclusive event. For these reasons, the LWVUS Board of Directors voted unanimously for the League to participate officially in the DC March. This decision also pertains to state and local Leagues interested in participating in sister marches.

Houston Women’s March is an official “sister event” to the national Women’s March on Washington. We stand together in solidarity with our partners and children for the protection of our rights, safety, health, and families - recognizing that our vibrant and diverse communities are the strength of our country. https://www.houstonwomensmarch.org/

Donations are also needed to pay for the expenses of this event ~$22,000. Please use the following link to make your donation via Robin Paoli’s Go Fund Me account: https://www.gofundme.com/houstonwomensmarch

“WHEN WOMEN DON’T LEAD, WOMEN LOSE.”

11 AM // FREE SPEECH MARCH

Did you know? The Houston Women’s March was launched 10 DAYS AGO. The March Steering Committee met for the first time 5 DAYS AGO on a holiday weekend. Thousands and thousands of us have committed to march together in Houston during the last 10 days. This is amazing, and you are amazing.

Houston is the fastest growing March among the new official City Sister Events for the national U.S. Women’s March on Washington. YOU made this happen. YOU are making history.

This is a sister event to the Women’s March on Washington taking place in D.C. It will be held here in Houston for those in surrounding communities around the state that cannot, for whatever reason, make it to D.C. We stand together in solidarity for the protection of our rights, our safety, our health, our families, and our children, recognizing that our vibrant and diverse communities are the strength of our country. The rhetoric of the past election cycle has insulted, demonized, and threatened many of us: immigrants of all statuses, Muslims and those of diverse religious faiths, people who identify as LGBTQIA, Native people, Black and Brown people, people with disabilities, and survivors of sexual assault. Our communities are hurting and scared. We are confronted with the question of how to move forward in the face of national and international concern and fear. In the spirit of democracy and in honor of the champions of human rights, dignity, and justice who have come before us, we join in diversity to show our presence in numbers too great to ignore. This march will send a bold message that women’s rights are human rights. We stand together, recognizing that defending the most marginalized among us is defending all of us. We support the advocacy and resistance movements that reflect our multiple and intersecting identities. We call on all defenders of human rights to join us. This march is the first step towards unifying our communities, grounded in new relationships, to create change from the grassroots level up. We will not rest until women have parity and equity at all levels of leadership in society. We work peacefully while recognizing there is no true peace without justice and equity for all. HEAR OUR VOICE.

Think of this the next time you ponder looking to their pamphlet as a non-partisan comparison of the candidates in a primary or election.
