Anti-abortion group ‘Klanned Parenthood’ uses Scarlett Johansson image in a PSA

[alp227]

The “Klanned Parenthood” folks are at it again. In an effort to continue touting the completely debunked theory that Planned Parenthood was created for racist purposes, the group has recently posted a video that superimposes Klan robes on Scarlett Johansson in a PSA for the chain of womens’ health clinics. (Featured below.)

Why Johansson? The film actress was recently featured in a national public service announcement that highlights the services that Planned Parenthood clinics provide.

According to a press release sent out by “Klanned Parenthood,” the PSA “did not mention that Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger, a racist who supported the Ku Klux Klan, spoke at their rallies and encouraged the elimination of African-Americans.

“Klanned Parenthood” was started by Rev. Patrick Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition. The group’s mission has been to convince members of Congress to stop giving federal aid to Planned Parenthood.

1. She needs to sue them for defamation of character

If they have to pay a few million in damages, perhaps they will think twice before being stupid.

2. They edited an image of her to add Klan robes and are using it

in an advertising campaign?

Can you say defamation? Count down to the lawsuit.

3. Oh boy, do I smell a lawsuit here

Should she care to, Johansson has the grounds to sue these turds so far into the ground they'd need a tunnelling machine to ever see the light of day again.

4. Are they getting advice from PETA on these things?

:rofl:

5. would be double irony if the illegal use of her image ended up in a lawsuit

and she was able to donate the proceeds of the lawsuit to fund planned parenthood...

oh, gawd, I would LOVE to see that.

6. +100

Excellent. :evilgrin:

And the irony would be entirely lost on the tealibanners.

7. the irony is apparently lost on them here, too.

since this thread is in the negatives on recs.

[BOG PERSON]

8. wait what?

Scarlett Johansson wants minorities to have abortions?

[The Straight Story]

10. Yes, but only on weekends (nt)

9. Wow. That is going to be a sizeable lawsuit...

Hopefully enough to put them out of business....

11. "the completely debunked theory that Planned Parenthood was created for racist purposes"

That was fake? I have to admit I fell for it. How was it debunked?
