Jennifer Lawrence, Brie Larson And More Are Speaking Out For Planned Parenthood

You might have heard it on the morning news, read about it in your daily briefing or simply overheard a coworker share her opinion on the matter. A revised version of the Senate healthcare bill might come to a vote this week, and with it comes one of two outcomes: either the Affordable Care Act will remain the country’s healthcare policy in an administration that actively seeks its end, or senators will approve the measure, which would not only mean that millions more Americans would be left uninsured but also result in higher premiums for senior citizens and defund Planned Parenthood for at least one year, among other consequences.
