This Wednesday, you may have seen the hashtag #PinkOut in your Twitter feed. The hashtag is being used by Planned Parenthood supporters and opponents alike to speak out about their opinions on the organization and abortion.
From politicians to your next door neighbor, people are supporting Planned Parenthood and the 2.5 million people who rely on the organization with #PinkOut and #IStandWithPP.
While women across US may feel their rights are threatened, we are recommitting our efforts to protect women in NY. #IStandWithPP #PinkOut pic.twitter.com/D2vVTPMaQK

Should be a no-brainer. If you respect women, you respect their right to access, privacy, + dignity. You respect their choices.#PinkOut

Some say it's a trick as "real medical services are plummeting."

Others mock the hashtag.
.@CecileRichards & @PPact: "Let's use a cute, girly hashtag to conflate the slaughter of the unborn with women's care."#PinkOut
