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:

Rachymae: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.
La:Why does everyone call it pro choice? Isn't it really pro death? That you can choose to end the life of your child!
iloveparis624:@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. ,
AlexChambers:How pro-women is it to fight and demand we be treated equally and have our voices heard, yet, we go back and judge fellow women because she's doing what's best for her?
Emily: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.
Julia: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!
iloveparis624:Right on!!!!@alexchambers!!
Snarky:Lena heart planned parenthood- how narcissistic is that?!?
missy:Since most mof the pro choice women out there are ignorant, I'm sure you wouldn't realize that the women who founded planned parenthood Margaret Sanger was a complete racist who only founded planned parenthood to lessen the population of babies born by African Americans or Hispanics etc... Sangers view on African Americans/immigrants, "human weeds, reckless breeders, spawning human beings who's should've never been born."
Blitz: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?
