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:

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

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.

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.

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.

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."

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?

Right on!!!!@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?

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!

Why do we care what Lena loves?

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.
