Planned Parenthood is harnessing star power in a new effort to advertise abortion. But with its straw-man messaging, Planned Parenthood and its celebrity PR team are only preaching to their choir. They’re not converting anyone.
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.”
As Planned Parenthood’s current, acting president, Alexis McGill Johnson told Billboard in August that, in particular, "Artists can highlight how out-of-touch some of our politicians are in this space.”
Or, perhaps, they can highlight how out of touch both they and Planned Parenthood are with the rest of America. Poll after poll reveals that the majority of Americans want abortion restrictions, including, more recently, a June NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll.
That’s because, as the pro-life movement stresses, every pregnancy involves two bodies: a mother and her unborn baby. In other words, abortion restrictions don’t place bans on bodies. They save them.
Planned Parenthood isn’t addressing arguments like those in its media ads, a new tactic for the abortion provider. In June, Planned Parenthood also helped organize signatures from CEOs and company executives for an ad supporting abortion in the New York Times. But using celebrity support is an old Planned Parenthood tactic.

The abortion industry has been using the word “care” next to the word “abortion” for quite some time. But what is caring about abortion?
Truly, those involved in the abortion industry are unfeeling and callous to an extent that is incomprehensible to normal people.
Planned Parenthood, plus 140 musicians,
“Bans Off My Body.”
Unless talking about Vaccines, then it is stab the children.

Can you sell a kidney?
Can you sell a sexual encounter?
current artists and struggling 90s performers trying to re-enter the business owe their success to fealty towards liberal every day. No disloyalty tolerated.
I want billboards with pictures of fetuses and the caption, “Keep your hands and your weapons off my body. Respect MY body autonomy!”
But not when you want to send your body to a school YOU choose.
Not when you want to take care of your body with the healthcare plan YOU choose.
Not when you want to say a prayer at a public event.
Not when.... need I go on?
