Anti-abortion activists upset over new Planned Parenthood ice cream flavor

An ice cream shop in Portland, Oregon, recently teamed up with Planned Parenthood to create a new flavor for its shop.

Owners of 'What's The Scoop?' say it's a mix of honey vanilla and rose petal called Rose City Revolution.

But anti-abortion activists are outraged over the sweet treat, posting about their disapproval on social media. One anti-abortion blog even called the flavor "Blood and Scream!" with comments comparing owners to Nazis.

"I was surprised," said owner Jodie Ostrovsky. "Some of them have been scary. We don't know why they're telling us that we have problems when they're saying terrible, threatening things."

In the midst of the controversy, the shop has also received tons of support.

They've also arranged for Planned Parenthood to sell the ice cream, as well as a few other flavors, for a period of time and keep 50-percent of the profit.
