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

By Vanessa

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:

Famous Quotes

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

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.

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. ,

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?

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.

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

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!
