Reproductive health service Planned Parenthood, America’s largest abortion provider, went one step further in responding to the controversy. A spokesperson for the organisation suggested that West’s remarks were designed to shame black women, and the choices that they make.

“As black women, we make our own decisions about our bodies and pregnancies, and want and deserve to have access to the best medical care available,” the rep said.

“Misinformation like this is meant to shame us and keep us from making our own health care decisions. Black women want and deserve support and access to the full range of reproductive health care, but this persistent lie is threatening our ability to obtain it.”

Unsurprisingly, West’s perpetuation of a damaging “abortion pill” myth that has zero bearing on reality also got quite the reaction on Twitter.
