Platner shares manny views with Mills, notably a strong pro-abortion position and negative attitudes towards women. <\/p>\n<p>his <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >past includes openly making offensive comments<\/a> about sexual assault, with statements that minimized rape and even boasted about rape-like violence in threats. Former girlfriends have described him as abusive, manipulative, and womanizing, often using force, cheating, and demeaning women with crude language. Despite being married, he continued to engage in online sexual messaging and dating apps.<\/p>\n<p>Platner\u2019s beliefs align with a pro-abortion worldview, advocating for federally enshrined reproductive rights and criticizing lawmakers who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gift-to-republicans-schumer-allows-vote-on-dead-on-arrival-abortion-bill\/\" title=\"\u2018Gift to Republicans\u2019: Schumer Allows ... on Dead on Arrival ...

He publicly criticized Collins for her vote to confirm Justice Brett Kavanaugh and expressed support for IVF and the right to choose, framing abortion as a way women\u2019s bodies are oppressed. <\/p>\n<p>Planned Parenthood\u2019s stance and Platner\u2019s views promote abortion as a way to undermine women\u2019s health and autonomy, echoing historical sexist beliefs that devalue women\u2019s physical and mental integrity. The organization and Platner share a outlook that demeans women, viewing reproductive rights as a way to diminish thier status and agency.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Planned Parenthood is officially endorsing Graham Platner in his effort to defeat incumbent Sen.

Abortion should be readily available to all women to ruin their lives, instead of pro-woman and pro-family alternatives. Abortion tells women that an incredible part of their body that separates them from men is actually a source of oppression. The ability to grow and cultivate a human soul is not a blessing, but a curse that makes women, as Platner believes, less than men and little more than \u201chatchet wounds\u201d for sexual gratification.<\/p>\n<p>The late 1800s, feminist Charlotte Perkins Gilman first argued this in her book <em>Women and Economics: A Study of the Economic Relation Between Men and Women as a Factor in Social Evolution.<\/em> Gilman thought from a Darwinist perspective that women were physically different from men because they were less developed than the other sex. When Planned Parenthood and Platner demean women through violence to their bodies or minds, they assert the same false, outdated claim.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planned Parenthood backs Graham Platner over Collins<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4304,"featured_media":2617824,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/screenshot-1782230589078.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[14436,14678,5605],"class_list":["post-2617823","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-activism","tag-feminism","tag-women"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/screenshot-1782230589078.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2617823","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4304"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2617823"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2617823\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2617827,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2617823\/revisions\/2617827"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2617824"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2617823"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2617823"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2617823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
