Lena Dunham Urges Females to Vote with Planned Parenthood Campaign ...

Vanessa Oct 31, 2014

Lena's always been very vocal about being pro-women. She's teamed up with Planned Parenthood Action Fund's 'Women Are Watching' campaign to urge every female to empower themselves by going out and voting on November 4th.

“When you show up to the polls, you empower yourself, you empower the women you love, and you take control of your own body back from politicians who don’t want the best for you,” she says in the video. See what else she had to say:

Also in the campaign, Lena and Planned Parenthood are selling some special t-shirts to help encourage women to vote! Some of Lena's famous friends have taken selfies wearing the special signature edition "Lena <3 Planned Parenthood" shirt:

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Why does everyone call it pro choice? Isn't it really pro death? That you can choose to end the life of your child!

Right on!!!!@alexchambers!!

I'm a women. But planned parenthood is not pro women if a large part of their business is gained by killing women. Girls who are helpless and can't defend themselves. Is that pro women? To say killing a baby girl is okay just because she's not born yet and therefore helpless?

Why do we care what Lena loves?

Ok ladies/ put aside the pro choice pro life rhetoric... Lena

You can't even tell the sex of a baby till the second trimester so to say PPH is killing future women, also, a baby isn't always a girl so those earlier comments sound also anti-men. I wish more people would educate themselves and stop associating PPH with just abortions. As for adoption, yes, there are thousands of kids in the system but everyone wants a baby. Do you know preteens are the hardest to adopt out the system? That young african american boys (particularly dark toned boys) are the least adopted.

Just to be clear... I am not advocating for killing fetus'. But it is not charged as murder. It is charged as fetal homicide and carries a very different sentence. Also, each state had their own laws to determine at what stage a fetus is a baby. Some say at conception, others have taken it to the 20 week mark.

I completely agree with @Blitz. I'm a woman and I'm pro life. There are many ways that a woman could take control of her life without having an abortion. Adoption is pro woman and pro life. It is pro women who can't reproduce and want children.

@julie Marie Dawson- you are incorrect. FYI...every state in the United States does not charge murder in the case of a fetus. And why are all you pro lifers not seeing that planned parenthood is not an abortion clinic. Women can have yearly Pap smears to screen for cervical cancer and yearly breast exams. So closed minded that you can't see past anyone else's right to be pro choice. ,

I read this so discouraged thinking wow all these women are pro-choice?! And then posing in pictures with their children?! It was encouraging to read a couple other pro-lifer comments. Being a powerful woman doesn't mean shouldn't mean having the power to end their child's life.
