Planned Parenthood Calls Men “People Who Carry Sperm”
Life News ^ | February 18, 2026 | Steven Ertelt

Planned Parenthood has a new term for men. And as the abortion giant has done with women and unborn children, it’s totally de-humanizing.

“People who carry sperm.”

Sorry men, that’s all you are. You have no value or worth to the Planned Parenthood abortion business other than the biological fact that you carry sperm.

Oh and mentally ill women who irrationally think they’re men and somehow contort their bodies surgically to make it possible to construct a fake penis capable of handling semen are also “people who carry sperm.” Never mind that they’re not actually men.

In a recent announcement that underscores a troubling pattern of linguistic gymnastics, the Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts touted its expansion of vasectomy services by referring to potential customers as “people who carry sperm.”

This language, embedded in a Valentine’s Day campaign promoting vasectomies as an “act of joy and love,” reveals yet another step in Planned Parenthood’s ongoing effort to strip away the inherent dignity of human beings in the name of “reproductive rights.”

Dr. Luu Ireland, the organization’s chief medical officer, stated, “Birth control is for and is used by people of all genders. By offering vasectomy, we are providing men and people who carry sperm an option for long-term contraception while also eroding the idea that pregnancy prevention falls just on people who can get pregnant. It’s for all of us.”

Planned Parenthood is also upset at the election of President Donald Trump and the Dobbs decision allowing states to protect babies from abortions.

The press release also highlighted a spike in vasectomy demand, noting that “the day after Donald Trump was reelected president, bookings for vasectomy across its affiliates that did offer the service increased 1,200%,” and that demand for “permanent contraception” like vasectomies has “significantly increased” since the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade.

This is not an isolated incident but part of a broader strategy by Planned Parenthood to dehumanize individuals at every stage of life.

It begins with the unborn child, often reduced to mere “tissue” or a “clump of cells” to justify abortion. One woman who sought services at Planned Parenthood recounted being told by a worker there that her pregnancy was “nothing more than a clump of cells, not yet formed into anything.”

Such dismissive terminology erases the scientific reality that from the moment of conception, a unique human life with its own DNA is developing—not a blob, but a person deserving of protection.

The dehumanization extends to women, whom Planned Parenthood frequently refers to as “birthing persons” in their communications and advocacy. In a press release marking the anniversary of Roe v. Wade’s overturn, the organization highlighted how restrictive bans are “preventing birthing persons from having” access to abortion.

testimony before Connecticut lawmakers, a Planned Parenthood representative discussed how birth centers enable “healthy birthing persons” to have care options not available in hospitals.

This clinical, detached label reduces women—mothers who nurture life within their bodies—to mere vessels, stripping away the profound relational and biological essence of womanhood.

And now, men are being redefined as “people who carry sperm,” as if their role in creating life is nothing more than a biological function devoid of deeper meaning or responsibility.

This progression is no accident; it’s a calculated erosion of human identity that serves Planned Parenthood’s agenda. By reducing unborn children to disposable cells, women to birthing machines, and men to sperm carriers, the organization normalizes a worldview where convenience trumps dignity, and life itself becomes negotiable.

As pro-life advocates, we must reject this dehumanizing rhetoric and reclaim the truth: Every human being—man, woman, and unborn child—possesses inherent worth from conception to natural death.

Men are not just “people who carry sperm”; they are fathers, protectors, and partners in the miracle of life. Women are not mere “birthing persons”; they are mothers whose bodies are designed to sustain and cherish new life. And unborn children are not clumps of cells; they are precious individuals with a right to exist.

It’s time for a return to human dignity.

We must support policies that protect the vulnerable, offer real alternatives to abortion, and affirm the value of every person. Only then can we build a society that truly honors life in all its forms, rather than reducing it to sterile labels that serve an ideology of death.

“isnt that derogatory to “men who have periods” LOL “

Actually no, because they did not use the word “men” they used the word “people”.

So they have flipped it this time and it’s worse.

This time they are calling actual men “people” and women they are calling “men” who just happen to have periods.

Yes they are that evil and know what they are doing.

Before too long men will called women and women will be called men.

So now we’re not allowed to say that it is men who have sperm. The degradation of the language continues.

I’ve learned we’re not supposed to talk about pregnant women. We’re supposed to talk about pregnant people, without reference to the sex of the people who are pregnant.

And the reason for that is, we don’t want to offend the sensibilities of the one in 10,000,000 women who are transgender,and identify as male, who could possibly be pregnant. So we are supposed to solve that problem of not offending people by using gender neutral language. So we are told to talk about pregnancy without regard to the sex of people who become pregnant.

And so now we are in a situation where we talk about people who produce sperm , without reference to the sex of the people who produce sperm.

Okay then.......

That sounds like the latest (C*meback) sequel for “Men In Black” with Will Smith and Colin Farrell. “People Who Carry Sperm” great comedy,

FWIW, the actual statement on the actual Planned Parenthood page is (my emphasis):
"...Birth control is for and is used by people of all genders. By offering vasectomy, we are providing men and people who carry sperm an option for long-term contraception..."
That is, it actually calls true biological men "men".

So who are the "people who carry sperm" who are not men (in PP's world)? I can think of a couple:

But it appears that we biological men who identify as men are called "men", not just "people who carry sperm", although that is also a true statement unless we've lost our testicles to injury or disease.

These freakin' leftist wokesters should be hung for what they've done to the language.

Women should be thankful men need them as a receptacle sperm, otherwise there would be a bounty on them!

My college genetics professor had a more crass observation. He said, "Gentlemen, you are just a glorified testicle receptacle". In the big scheme of things, you exist to produce some sperm to initiate the next generation.

I would rather write “men” instead of “People who carry sperm.” Just like I would write “AWFUL” for “Affluent White Female Urban Liberal.” It must be pretty AWFUL to be stupid.

Sounds about right.

Now, what does that make the woman?
