Katy Perry shared a post on Instagram to reveal that she has made a public donation to Planned Parenthood, which provides reproductive health services in the United States and globally.
She made the donation after fears that the new president-elect Donald Trump would cancel funding for the organization.
Trump said on the campaign trail that he wants to cancel funding for Planned Parenthood as long as it performs abortions. He later explained this further, saying, “The abortion aspect of Planned Parenthood should absolutely not be funded.”
“I am grateful for and stand in support of Planned Parenthood for giving Katheryn Hudson the knowledge to plan, and for continuing to be a haven for women to learn all options for their future,” she captioned a photo of her donation, referring to herself by her real name. “Now, more than ever, we all need to protect and create safe places for each other. I hope I can help inspire you to make a gift as well, and become a member and an ally.”
