With its straw-man messaging, Planned Parenthood and its celebrity PR team are only preaching to their choir.
On August 26, Planned Parenthood announced that it had collected the signatures of nearly 140 musicians as part of its latest campaign for abortion called "Bans Off My Body." To boast about its supporters, the nation's largest abortion provider purchased an ad listing the artists - from Lady Gaga to Ariana Grande - in Billboard magazine.
Planned Parenthood began its campaign in June in response to state bans on abortion.
Leana Wen, then the president of Planned Parenthood, declared that Americans want "Bodily autonomy" instead of "Bans on abortion care."
Using celebrity support is an old Planned Parenthood tactic.
Not only did the musicians sign a petition against abortion restrictions, but also some will invite Planned Parenthood to "Call fans to action at music festivals like Jay-Z's Made in America in Philadelphia and Music Midtown in Atlanta," Billboard reported.
With its celebrity endorsements, Planned Parenthood hopes to attract half a million signatures for its petition by Jan. 22, 2020 - a date that marks the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in the United States.
