A message sent by Twitter by the Planned Parenthood organization has generated great controversy. The message, which has already been deleted from Twitter after generating criticism, said: “We need a Disney princess who has had an abortion. We need a Disney princess who is pro-choice [who agrees with a woman's right to decide whether or not to continue a pregnancy]. We need a Disney princess who is an undocumented immigrant. We need a Disney princess who belongs to a union of workers. We need a Disney princess who is trans [transgender or transsexual].”
A Planned Parenthood office in Pennsylvania stated that the Tweet was inappropriate and deleted it. Melissa Ree, the president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Keystone, said that the seriousness of the point they wanted to communicate with the Twitter message was not expressed correctly.
In a message sent to TIME, Planned Parenthood explained its position. Today we join a discussion on Twitter about the types of princesses people want to see, trying to emphasize the importance of telling stories that challenge stigma and defend stories that are often not told. After reflecting, we decided that the seriousness of the point we wanted to express was not appropriate for this topic or context and we deleted the tweet,”said Reed, adding that it is important for pop culture to educate and create awareness.
It all stemmed from a meme that has gone viral on social media that asks Internet readers to finish the sentence “We need a Disney princess who…” Even US President Donald Trump reacted to the controversy on March 28, sent a Twitter message that says: "We need Disney princesses that allow children to enjoy their childhood instead of subjecting them to the endless politics of identity."
