"I was always scared I was going to get bombed when I was there . . . I didn't know it was more than that, that it was for women and their needs. I didn't have insurance, so I went there and I learned about birth control."
Scarlett Johansson
"The House passed a bill to eliminate our country's family planning program and to stop Planned Parenthood health centers from receiving any federal money to provide life-saving preventative care. That means no money for cervical cancer screenings and breast exams. No money for testing and treatment of STDs, not even testing for HIV. No money for birth control . . . For many people, especially those with low incomes, Planned Parenthood is their only source of health care."
Hayley Williams
"It is good that everyone, including young girls, can have a place to go and take care of themselves."
Gwyneth Paltrow
"I stand behind Planned Parenthood because of the access they give women to preventive health care, including screening for cancer and STDs."
Julianne Moore
"Congress finally passed the health care reform bill, and President Obama signed it into law. It's the single biggest legislative advance in women's health in 45 years . . . But our work isn't over yet. The bill includes unfair restrictions on abortion coverage. Rest assured, Planned Parenthood will keep fighting to fix the abortion restrictions before they go into effect in 2014. In the meantime, Planned Parenthood centers will be providing health care to many of the millions of newly insured women."
