What do Olivia Rodrigo, Harry Styles, Pedro Pascal and Scarlett Johansson have in common? They signed an open letter for Planned Parenthood with numerous other celebrities. A total of 250 well -known personalities signed the campaign.
“I’m for Planned Parenthood”
On May 21, the New York Times published an open letter that supports the non-profit organization Planned Parenthood. The respective people who can be found on the signature list not only showed their support for the organization, but also knew that “Americans are losing more and more of their freedom to decide themselves about their lives”. The reason for this statement is the increasing attack on reproductive rights in the United States under the government of Donald Trump.
Olivia Rodrigo, Harry Styles, Megan Thee Stallion and many more show support
The letter also says that is available on the Planned Parenthood website: “I am for Planned Parenthood […] Because I’m for health care. And every fourth in the USA was already in a health center in Planned Parenthood to be treated: contraception, cancer prevention, health examinations, tests and treatments on sexually transmitted diseases, abortion, sexual treatments and more. “
Among the 250 celebrities who signed the letter are Olivia Rodrigo, Harry Styles, Addison Rae, Gracie Abrams, Jimmy Kimmel, Megan Thee Stallion and many more.
Trump has been strictly against access to sexual and reproductive health for years
Planned Parenthood is a non -profit organization in the USA that is committed to sexual and reproductive health. It offers a variety of medical services as well as educational and advisory services.
The government under Trump announced at the beginning of its term of office to reduce state family planning funding – which would affect contraception, cancer screening and other services for particularly low -income people. Numerous Planned Parenthood facilities, but also from other organizations, would be deleted.
As early as 2022, the US Supreme Court raised the nationwide right to abortion – also under the government of Donald Trump.
