Singer Pink, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore-Hart, received the “Champion of Change” award at Planned Parenthood of New York’s Spring Into Action Gala. The event also included actresses such as Amy Poehler, Meryl Streep, and Melissa McCarthy. Moore-Hart is known for giving out pamphlets supporting Planned Parenthood at her concerts.

Speaking to Vogue, Moore-Hart discussed her support for the organization. “I was the teenager who would go to Planned Parenthood. It was the place in our town that cared. These people are warriors, especially with this onslaught—this war—against women in our current administration,” she said. Vogue portrayed Moore-Hart as supportive of the abortion industry since “day one” of her career. She has gone so far as to tell pro-lifers to not listen to her music, something most have expressed their willingness to do.

The event certainly presented the abortion industry as in the throes of some battle for better days. “We have to be ‘springing into action’ every season. Bodily autonomy is crucial—especially in 2026,” said transgender actor Tommy Dorfman. “It’s essential to be supporting the work that Planned Parenthood does, beyond just helping birthing mothers and people interested in fertility treatments, but also with hormone replacement therapy, transitional care, and medical care in general.” Moore-Hart encouraged supporters to “Knock on doors, donate, educate yourself, and help to educate others,” adding, “It’s only human that we don’t tend to care about things until we’re directly affected by them—and that’s something that should be looked at and changed.”

Pro-life organizations denounced the event. “Imagine throwing a glamorous gala… to celebrate abortion. Hollywood claps and Vogue cheers. Meanwhile, innocent lives are ended every day,” wrote Students for Life of America. “You can rebrand it. You can glam it up. Abortion still ends a human Life. Stop pretending it’s healthcare.”

Pro-life groups are currently pushing for lawmakers to keep Planned Parenthood from receiving federal funding. The Charlotte Lozier Institute has calculated that the number of abortions performed by Planned Parenthood have reached a record high. President Trump signed a prohibition on federal funding for abortions during last year’s budget bill, but that prohibition is set to expire this July without action from the Senate. “The Senate should use reconciliation again and enact the strongest defunding measure possible under the law,” said Lila Rose, founder of Live Action. “American taxpayers should never be forced to subsidize an industry that distributes cross sex hormones to vulnerable kids and kills millions of preborn American babies through abortion every year.”
