4:19Now PlayingWhy are so many people are donating money to Planned Parenthood in Mike Pence’s name? Ana Kasparian and Grace Baldridge, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Both Trump and Pence have been vocal about their stance on women’s healthcare – and in particular, reproductive rights.
Trump has said he will ban abortion after 20 weeks, only nominate anti-choice justices to the Supreme Court, is refusing to fund Planned Parenthood, and said that there should be “some sort of punishment” for women seeking abortion if it was outlawed. He’s also said he will repeal Obamacare, which gives women access to contraception.
Meanwhile, Mike Pence has said he wants to see Roe v. Wade, the landmark case which legalised abortion, “consigned to the ash heap of history.” He’s also voted38 out of 38 times against reproductive freedom.
Unsurprisingly, many people have expressed anger that two men will deny women autonomy over their own bodies.
And now celebrities are decrying Trump and Pence’s stance on women’s reproductive rights. Over the weekend Katy Perry publicly donated $10,000 to Planned Parenthood.
She said: “I am making a public donation to Planned Parenthood for the teenage me who made several visits to first a clinic in Santa Barbara and then Los Angeles, CA to educate myself on my sexual health, a subject I had little to no information on because of my sheltered upbringing. I had no idea how things worked down there, and had no idea how to make a plan for them.”
Well, now more celebrities have followed suit – and are making donations in Mike Pence’s name, so that he will receive the certificate of donation.”*
