On April 16, 2026, at a gala in New York City, Planned Parenthood honored singer Pink (real name Alecia Beth Moore-Hart) with the Champion of Change Award for her long-standing support of abortion. This event occurred shortly after Planned Parenthood reported a record number of abortions.
• Planned Parenthood celebrated its achievements, highlighting a record 434,450 abortions performed in the last fiscal year, which is an 8% increase from the previous year.
• Pink expressed her admiration for the organization's staff, calling them "warriors" in the fight for women's rights amid efforts she views as attacks by the current administration.
• She shared her personal connection to Planned Parenthood, recalling its supportive role during her teenage years but did not clarify her stance on having had an abortion.
• During her acceptance speech, Pink encouraged attendees to support abortion by knocking on doors, donating, and educating others about the issue.
• She has been an outspoken supporter of abortion rights, telling fans to refrain from listening to her music if they believe the government should control women's reproductive choices.
• At the gala, other celebrities such as Tommy Dorfman, Helena Christensen, and Patricia Arquette attended.
The gala served to recognize Pink's contributions to abortion advocacy, coinciding with Planned Parenthood's record abortion statistics and significant taxpayer funding over the years.
