A huge Planned Parenthood donation from a famous author and his wife is making headlines. The embattled women’s health organization is currently involved in a fight to avoid congressional defunding for allegedly using fetuses for profit.
On their website, the non-profit organization that provides reproductive health, as well as mother and child health services, is urging supporters to help. Planned Parenthood donations are actively being requested in the face of conservative attempts to cut federal funding.
-“Right now, women’s health opponents are pushing to defund Planned Parenthood health centers nationwide, cutting off millions of patients from essential care like birth control, cancer screenings, and access to safe and legal abortion.”
Famous author Daniel Handler, known as Lemony Snicket — who is the author of the popular Series of Unfortunate Events novels — and his wife, Lisa Brown, announced on Twitter they will give to Planned Parenthood with a $1 million donation.
