With all the fake news and non-facts promoted about contraception and reproductive rights, Lady Parts Justice League had to clap back with "I'm Just A Pill," a response video that shuts down misinformation and exposes fed up legislation, all just in time for Neil Gorsuch's hearings, which begin today. You see, Gorsuch, Trump's nominee for Supreme Court Justice, can't and should not be a judge in our highest court because he actually thinks birth control is abortion.
Today, LPJL calls upon The Pill (voiced by Lea DeLaria-- Big Boo on Orange is the New Black), to school Gorsuch and dispel fake facts on birth control and drop some scientific knowledge on
Plan B as a preventative measure. "I'm Just A Pill" is now available here, and you may recognize it as a parody of a certain Schoolhouse Rock! video frequently enjoyed in elementary schools nationwide. Lyrics to the song were written and arranged by musician Holly Miranda. DeLaria states, "When I was young, Schoolhouse Rock was the perfect tutor. Hopefully, 'I'm Just A Pill' will reach and teach the ones who need it. U.S. out of my uterus."
For those that may not know,
Plan B is NOT abortion -- it actually prevents pregnancy from happening. So when a cashier denies birth control because of "moral beliefs" - and yes, that is legal - take it up with those s stirrers on
Capitol Hill and let them know that an individual's right to their body is none of these politicians' damn business. LPJL founder
Lizz Winstead states, "We don't need another vote on the Supreme Court that bases decisions about our junk on junk science!"
