KATY PERRY SAYS PLANNED PARENTHOOD TAUGHT HER “HOW THINGS WORK DOWN THERE"
While some celebs have chosen to join in on the anti-Trump riots including: Mark Ruffalo, Josh Hutcherson, and Lady Gaga. Others have chosen to move forward and speak out about certain Liberal issues that are incredibly important to them...
Pop star Katy Perry, an avid Clinton supporter, proved she will continue to be a Democratic voice despite which party is in office in January. This past Saturday evening, Perry made her fans proud when she publicly posted on Instagram that she made a $10,000 donation to the "pro-choice" and pro sex education organization, Planned Parenthood.
In the Instagram post, Perry expressed her fear of Planned Parenthood being defunded “in the future by the government.” It's obvious Perry is like millions of other pro-choice advocates who are anticipating President-elect Donald Trump will stay true to his campaign threats to cut government funding for planned parenthood, once he takes office in January, 2017.
We give Perry major props for her pro-choice post which revealed a very personal and positive experience she had with Planned Parenthood as a young girl. Perry (a preacher's daughter) revealed how growing up, her family was “lower-to-middle class," and they could not afford health insurance.
Thanks to the help and services of Planned Parenthood she was able to receive some necessary sex ed. Katy said it was her "sheltered upbringing" that left her with no idea of “how things work down there!” But Planned Parenthood gave her the sex education she needed. Perry's exact post stated, “Planned Parenthood educated me on my body and my reproductive health, so that I could focus on my dreams and using my voice until I knew the timing was right for me to make a plan to have a family.” She also said her experience with Planned Parenthood allowed her to become a “voice for others.”
