Lena Dunham is back, and she has a bunch of her celebrity friends helping her fight for abortion and Planned Parenthood again.
Dunham’s “Lenny Letter” blog produced a short video this week urging people to call their U.S. Senators and tell them to support the No. 1 abortion business in the nation, according to The Wrap.
U.S. Senate leaders announced plans to consider a bill next week to defund Planned Parenthood and repeal and replace Obamacare. The U.S. House already passed a bill.
The House version of the bill would eliminate more than $390 million (about 86 percent) of the annual federal funding to Planned Parenthood from all mandatory spending programs. The measure also would redirect funding to community health centers that outnumber Planned Parenthood facilities 20 to 1 and offer a wider array of health care services, but not abortions. The bill also would repeal Obamacare abortion subsidies.
The bill would close the largest pipeline for federal funding of Planned Parenthood, Medicaid, as well CHIP, Title V and Title X block grant programs.
In the video, Dunham railed against the legislation, along with “Hunger Games” actress Jennifer Lawrence, Jon Hamm, Brie Larson, Amy Poehler, Judd Apatow, Elisabeth Moss, Alison Brie, Andrew Rannells, Aubrey Plaza, Kate Walsh and Suki Waterhouse.

They claimed that cutting taxpayer funds to Planned Parenthood would have drastic consequences.
“This is nothing more than a blatantly political attempt to do whatever it takes to attack women’s health and rights, and take healthcare away from the people who need it most,” the celebrities said in the video. “The right to decide our own bodily future is the most basic of all human rights.”
But when it comes to Planned Parenthood and abortion, the issue is not just about women’s bodies and futures. Unborn babies’ lives and futures also are involved, and abortion destroys these babies’ most basic right, the right to life. Without it, they have no control over their bodies or futures. Without the right to life, truly the most basic of all human rights, they cannot enjoy any other rights.
In 2015, Planned Parenthood performed 328,348 abortions, nearly 5,000 more than the previous year. These numbers represent human lives, babies’ lives, not just women’s.
And if Planned Parenthood really was concerned about women’s health care, not abortions, it could get out of this political fight really quickly. Earlier this year, President Donald Trump offered to support an increase in taxpayer funding to Planned Parenthood if it stopped doing abortions. The abortion chain refused.
Its CEO Cecile Richards went so far as to call the offer “obscene and insulting,” making it very clear that abortion – the destruction of unborn babies’ lives – is Planned Parenthood’s top priority.
Is it too late to abort her?
Someday Lena is going to have two brain cells instead of just one, then look out world!
Yeah, that makes perfect sense. All rights spring from a foundation of being allowed to kill someone else to ensure your own convenience. *eye roll*
No kidding?
With a straight face?
The Left is truly psychotic.
I hate these people. Every time I hear them, I think that there can be no rational response to what they say; that you pretty much just have to beat their @$$ and tell them to STFU.
Every time this woman speaks she further erodes any form of legitimacy she may have had....emphasis on “may”.
There are non-contract obligations too. You can incur obligations upon yourself by causing someone else's condition of dependency. For instance, if someone carelessly caused you to lose the use of your arms, they would, as a matter of strict moral liability, be duty-bound to pay for the surgeries or therapies or whatever to restore the use of your arms, or compensate you for the lifelong loss of your arms.
Parental obligation arises in this manner: the parents caused the child to come into existence --- in, obviously, a dependent state --- therefore they owe him or her parental support.
Nor can they invoke a "right" to abortion even if the pregnancy were caused by a non-consenting act, e.g. rape. Upon the onset of his existence, the unborn child has the same right to self-ownership, and therefore has the right not to be assaulted and killed. The developing child has the same right to simply go on living without being slain.
After the child's birth, that parent's only duty would be to arrange for somebody else to support the child, i.e. adoption.
I’ve never seen someone who hates herself more than this person.
If one knows anything about her, it’s very obvious.
I believe she will take her life one day.
Dunham’s looking positively satanic there.
Abortion is a an attack on God and a violation of the most sacred commandment.
What if every pregnant woman decided to exercise that "right"?
No stupid btch. Free speech and a gun are. How do you control genetics of men without a gun? Stupid toothless tiger c@nt.
I thought life was.
That Daspri Kateri girl made me laugh, I have to say. :)
Would that your mother had exercised her basic human right...
Killing a person who does not share your DNA has nothing to do with health care.
On VERY rare cases where the life of the mother is DIRECTLY threatened...an abortion might be justified....ectopic or tubal pregnancy for example...even the Catholic church recognizes RARE exceptions to the no abortion rule....
Yup
I’m actually neutral on abortion. Reason: In the case of rape, the unwilling parent has incurred no such obligation. And if it’s not rape, it’s not clear that causing a being to come to life creates any such obligation. Perhaps it does, and perhaps it doesn’t. I have been unable to prove or disprove that theory, and no one has been able to convince me one way or the other.
There will come a reckoning.
