Planned Parenthood awardee P!nk claims its staff are 'warriors.' But the casualties are high.

Alecia Beth Moore-Hart, better known as the singer P!nk, was honored with the Champion of Change Award on April 15 at Planned Parenthood of Greater New York's 2026 "Spring Into Action Gala." Awarding celebrities isn't new for Planned Parenthood; it's what P!nk said about Planned Parenthood that has some raising their eyebrows.

Key Takeaways:

• P!nk was recently awarded by Planned Parenthood of Greater New York, an affiliate that has been plagued with financial mismanagement and racism accusations.

• The singer claimed that Planned Parenthood staffers are "warriors" fighting to defend women in a "war" against them.

• In reality, Planned Parenthood is killing 434,000+ babies annually, according to its most recent annual report. These are heavy casualties.

• P!nk has ironically claimed that her voice deserves to be heard on the issue of abortion because she exists and is a human being. She has also told pro-life, pro-traditional family advocates to "F*** RIGHT OFF."

• It's important for everyone to truly educate themselves about what abortion is and what it does to preborn human beings.

The Details:

P!nk told Vogue from backstage at the Planned Parenthood spring gala (emphasis added):

“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."

Of course, there is a war being waged, but people like P!nk and Planned Parenthood refuse to acknowledge the true casualties.

Many women are wounded by their decision to intentionally kill their own children (and some pay a terrible price with their own lives at Planned Parenthood, like Lexi Arguello and Cree Sheppard), but the primary victims in this "war" for alleged bodily autonomy are defenseless, voiceless human beings in the womb.

Planned Parenthood killed more than 434,000 of those human beings in a single year, according to its most recent report. These are immense casualties, but even this number only accounts for about 40% of the abortions in the U.S. every year.

Indeed, those working for Planned Parenthood are "warriors." They're just warriors who intentionally kill innocent civilians and claim "bodily autonomy" justifies the carnage.

But the bodies of these 434,000+ innocent civilians aren't so easily visible. They're stuffed into medical waste bins or flushed down toilets, or even thrown into dumpsters if they're too big to flush (and on occasion, they're found by water treatment plant workers or others who see, with their own eyes, the human cost of abortion).

And yet, at the gala, Planned Parenthood CEO Wendy Stark claimed that those who support Planned Parenthood are “ fighting for what is right,” while Planned Parenthood Federation of America CEO Alexis McGill Johnson spouted platitudes about "ensur[ing] that your freedom is free."

The "freedom" to do what, exactly?

Well, their merchandise pretty much answers that question. According to Vogue, "The night even debuted new merch for PPGNY—splashed with slogans like ‘Don’t F*ck With Us, Don’t F*ck Without Us’—which was for sale alongside the work of other New York-based labels...."

Why It Matters:

After the fall of Roe v. Wade, P!nk released a "protest anthem," titled, "Irrelevant." Ms Magazine reported that "[p]roceeds from the new track will be donated to When We All Vote, Michelle Obama’s national, nonpartisan voting initiative" which had a goal of "increasing[ing] participation in each and every election by helping to close the race and age gap.”

The Hollywood Reporter noted at the time (emphasis added):

In a statement about the track, Pink explained, “As a woman with an opinion and the fearlessness to voice that opinion, it gets very tiring when the only retort is to tell me how irrelevant I am. I am relevant because I exist, and because I am a human being. No one is irrelevant. And no one can take away my voice.” 

The irony of this statement is striking.

Preborn children are humans and they exist. Therefore, they are also relevant regarding the issue of abortion. In fact, if they didn't exist, then there would be no abortions.

The First 10 Weeks Of Human Life

People are not made irrelevant by laws restricting their bodily autonomy (we have laws requiring the wearing of seatbelts as well as laws against rape, for instance). An innocent human being exists and is alive inside the uterus (the purpose of which is to gestate another human being), and that human deserves to be protected from intentionally inflicted harm or death.

Protecting the innocent is not "tak[ing] away the voice" of anyone else. But when a person uses his or her voice to advocate for ending innocent, defenseless, voiceless human lives (acting as if they don't matter) isn't freedom. It's not fearlessness. It's oppression and unjust discrimination.

The Backstory:

P!nk's support for abortion

It's no secret that P!nk is a devotee of Planned Parenthood. She has been "known to hand out Planned Parenthood and No Kid Hungry: End Child Hunger in America pamphlets at her shows," according to Vogue.

In 2020, she joined a Planned Parenthood ad campaign to help elect pro-abortion politicians. As Live Action News previously reported, she is also a proponent of animal rights and apparently dislikes people who uphold the sanctity of life and traditional marriage:

She has participated in PETA campaigns, criticized Sea World for keeping “intelligent, sensitive beings in intensive confinement,” and participated in a PETA protest of New York Fashion Week due to its use of fur.

She is also a vocal supporter of abortion. After Roe was overturned [in 2022], she slammed pro-life groups in response.

“Let’s be clear,” she wrote on Twitter. “If you believe the government belongs in a woman’s uterus, a gay persons business or marriage, or that racism is okay – THEN PLEASE IN THE NAME OF YOUR LORD NEVER F***ING LISTEN TO MY MUSIC AGAIN. AND ALSO F*** RIGHT OFF.”

Planned Parenthood of Greater New York

Planned Parenthood Greater New York (PPGNY) still garners celebrity attention despite its apparent mismanagement of funds.

In 2025, Live Action News noted that the PPGNY affiliate planned to close and sell its flagship Manhattan facility (the once-named Margaret Sanger Center, after the corporation's eugenicist founder). An article discussing the upcoming closure stated:

... At the Manhattan facility, in August 2024, in an attempt to cut costs, deep sedation services for IUD patients were ceased — despite complaints about the pain of IUD placement. The facility also stopped committing abortions after 20 weeks. [CEO Wendy] Stark blamed increased staff wages and increased supply prices for the financial struggles, as well as supposed inadequate reimbursement from Medicaid. From 2019 to 2021, PPGNY received nearly $10 million in federal funding. Apart from Medicaid reimbursements, PPGNY took in nearly $24 million in government grants in 2023.

Based on a recent article in The New York Times, the problem isn’t that Planned Parenthood doesn’t get enough funding, but how it spends its money is what’s a concern. It has put a large financial focus on abortion advocacy rather than patients.

The Times admits that after Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2022, Planned Parenthood “enjoyed a fund-raising boom, with $498 million in donations that year” alone. Billionaire MacKenzie Scott (ex-wife of Jeff Bezos) gave the abortion corporation $275 million to use at the national office and 21 affiliates. And though, “[o]ver the last five years, the national office has distributed more than $899 million to affiliates to help them deliver care,” according to the Times, “none of it went directly to medical services” (emphasis added).

Live Action News also noted in a separate article that PPGNY was accused of major issues by it own staff:

In 2020, hundreds of past and present employees signed an open letter accusing the CEO of Planned Parenthood Greater New York (PPGNY) of mistreatment, abuse, racism, and mismanagement of funds. 

After Planned Parenthood Federation of America fired her, employees claim the corporation did so only because of public pressure.

And in 2023:

Samuel Ricardo Mitchell Jr., described [as] the affiliate’s Chief Operating Officer, claimed comments made by PPGNY leadership were “stained with racist overtones.”...

The Bottom Line:

P!nk urged attendees to “Knock on doors, donate, educate yourself, and help to educate others. 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.”

She's right.

It's time to educate ourselves about life in the womb, and about what abortion actually is and what it does. It's time to start educating others.

It's time to start caring and rescuing those who are being led away to death every single day. These human beings in the womb don't deserve fewer rights because of their size, level of development, environment, or degree of dependency. Without the right to life, no other rights can be exercised.

As Planned Parenthood supporters dehumanize those weaker than themselves and turn mothers against their own children in the womb, it's time we recognize that dehumanizing other humans always leads to destruction. It's time to embrace the truth, and embrace life.
