Basically, give an example of a common argument you hear and then explain why it's wrong. If citations are needed then please provide them.
I think this thread will be useful, because if you're ever in a debate with a pro-lifer, homophobic, racist, or whatever other kind of fundie, you already know what they're probably going to say and how to respond to them. It doesn't just have to be arguments, it can be common jokes that are fundie and comebacks for them, or whatever else you can think of.
I'll start.
Pro-lifers often say Planned Parenthood is racist. First they quote Margaret Sanger when she said something about not wanting the public to think she was trying to exterminate African Americans. Well the quote was out of context. She didn't want the public to have the
false assumption that she was trying to exterminate African Americans.
Also, you can mention how Martin Luther King graciously accepted Planned Parenthood's Margaret Sanger award. I know it's not the best argument but they seem to get pretty pissed about it.
"There is a striking kinship between our movement and Margaret Sanger’s early efforts. She, like we, saw the horrifying conditions of ghetto life. Like we, she knew that all of society is poisoned by cancerous slums. Like we, she was a direct actionist — a nonviolent resister… She launched a movement which is obeying a higher law to preserve human life under humane conditions. Margaret Sanger had to commit what was then called a crime in order to enrich humanity, and today we honor her courage and vision; for without them there would have been no beginning."
