Nathan Pyle, the artist behind viral cartoons of alien life called Strange Planet is under online scrutiny after controversial tweets from his past resurfaced. On April 8, a 2017 tweet made by Pyle in defense of the anti-abortion rally March For Life started to gain traction. In it, Pyle quotes a Facebook post from his then-girlfriend who wrote that she was “given a chance to live.” “Thank you Father for the stories of others from last year’s March For Life who were also discarded or abandoned, yet were given a chance to live,” she wrote.

Some Twitter users were very upset with Pyle’s defense of pro-life rhetoric and wanted to distance themselves from the content creator. The resurfaced tweet has prompted thousands of new comments, most of which see users arguing over Pyle’s stance on the divisive subject.
