Amber Heard, Maggie Gyllenhaal Support Planned Parenthood After Loss of Federal Funding

Planned Parenthood will have to use emergency funds to make up the $60 million it received from the Title X federal funding program each year

Amber Heard, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Chelsea Handler are among the celebrities speaking out to defend Planned Parenthood since it will no longer be receiving federal funding.

On Monday, the reproductive healthcare non-profit announced that it would not be able to accept funds from the Title X federal family planning program, which provides about $60 million annually to help provide healthcare services to primarily low-income women.

The Trump administration created restrictions on Title X recipients to prohibit doctors and clinic staff from providing abortion referrals to their patients.

Aquaman actress Heard, 33, tweeted Tuesday, “My body. My choice, not yours, Trump. Health care is under attack like never before. But the one sure thing? Planned Parenthood is here for good. I stand w/ Planned Parenthood, & Planned Parenthood stands w/ u. #IStandWithPP #ProtectX,” she wrote.
