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:
1. Sara Quin
"It's Sara Quin and... Sara Quin! @teganandsara #womenarewatching #weheartplannedparenthood #canadiansdoitwell"
2. Retta
"Ladies and gentleman, it's @unforettable! #womenarewatching #weheartplannedparenthood"

Why does everyone call it pro choice? Isn't it really pro death? That you can choose to end the life of your child!
Planned Parenthood provides a lot of important services. Even if you don't agree with women who choose to have abortions, you can support Planned Parenthood for giving low cost cancer screenings, well-woman exams, STD testing, birth control, and counseling.
Ok ladies/ put aside the pro choice pro life rhetoric... Lena
Why do we care what Lena loves?
@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. ,
Right on!!!!@alexchambers!!
Lena heart planned parenthood- how narcissistic is that?!?
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.
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.
Planned parenthood is the worst idea to get behind. It isn't about pro women. It's about KILLING A HUMAN BEING! If a pregnant women is murdered (in any trimester) the murderer gets charged with two murders, not one. So ABORTION = MURDER!
