It’s not surprising that the majority of actors and actresses in Hollywood are liberals. But the number of celebrities who go out of their way to support abortion rights and, in particular, Planned Parenthood, through PSAs, speaking engagements and financial donations is shocking. Here are 42 celebrities who have publicly supported the abortion giant.
Celebrities Know What's Good for Women -- Just Let Them Tell You
Many celebrities have starred in sanctimonious public service announcements for the abortion giant.
Actress Scarlett Johansson starred in this 2011 PSA, where she called a bill to defund Planned Parenthood “disastrous.”
Before the 2012 election, actors Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick, Audra McDonald, Lisa Kudrow, Meryl Streep, Tea Leoni and Billy Crudup appeared in a video series for “reproductive rights” attacking the GOP. It was heavily promoted by Planned Parenthood.
On its website, Planned Parenthood lists Johansson, Rachel Bilson, Gabrielle Union, Julianne Moore, Dana Delany, Amber Tamblyn, David Eigenberg, Alan Cummings and Jason Alexander as “just a few” of the celebrities who support Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood’s Marketing Team?
Actress Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights, Nashville) made headlines in 2013 for partnering with Planned Parenthood to create T-shirts in support of Planned Parenthood and abortion rights in Texas.
Lena Dunham did the same in 2014, when she designed a shirt with Planned Parenthood to promote both the group and her new book. She shared images of her famous friends wearing the shirt, including Jemima Kirke (Girls), Rashida Jones (Parks and Recreation), Retta (Parks and Recreation), America Ferrera, Janet Mock, singer Sara Bareilles, and Ellen Page.
Scarlett Johansson also designed a shirt for Planned Parenthood in 2014.
Actress Kate Walsh (Private Practice, Grey’s Anatomy) also sits on the board of Planned Parenthood, according to their site. She bribed her fans to send money to Planned Parenthood in exchange for an autographed DVD set.
A self-described life-long supporter of Planned Parenthood, actress Maggie Gyllenhaal promoted the group through a letter she wrote for Glamour magazine in 2012. She wrote that it was “chilling to think of this resource [Planned Parenthood] being taken away.”
Social Justice Warriors
But that’s not the only way celebrities propagandized the public. Some stars used their social media platforms to advocate for abortion and bully pro-lifers.
One of those people is Lucas Neff, star of Fox’s Raising Hope, who is particularly nasty to pro-lifers on his Twitter account.
