Julianne Moore And Mary J. Blige Back Planned Parenthood In New Advert

Actress Julianne Moore and R&B star Mary J. _B_LIGE have teamed up to shoot a candid campaign ad urging voters to protect women's health issues by turning out to re-elect U.S. President _B_ARACK O_B_AMA at the polls next week (begs05Nov12).

The pair donned hot pink Yes We Plan birth control T-shirts in a new clip to show their support for Planned Parenthood, an organisation which provides sexual and reproductive health services to women in America and is backed by Obama.

A statement from The Kids Are All Right star Moore reads, "Millions of women rely on Planned Parenthood for their basic healthcare and it is up to us - to every woman across the country - to support the only presidential candidate who gets this."

And No More Drama hitmaker _B_lige echoed the same sentiment, adding, "When I was a teenager, I don't know where we would have gone if Planned Parenthood wasn't there. Not just for me, for my mother, my sisters, my friends. They're about preventive care. As a woman - even as a teenager - where would we be if Planned Parenthood wasn't there for us?"

Actresses Elizabeth _B_anks and Maggie Gyllenhaal have also voiced their support for the programme in similar ads and opinion columns.

Obama's chief rival, Republican Mitt Romney, is against the Planned Parenthood message.
