These Chic Items Help Support Planned Parenthood

On Thursday afternoon, our friends in the Republican-controlled Congress announced that when they repeal the Affordable Care Act, they will also attempt to defund Planned Parenthood, because that's a fun thing to do. If you want to stand against their efforts, you can buy clothing that supports Planned Parenthood, so we can make sure that every woman and man has access to quality health care, even if the majority of conservative white men in Washington disagree.

Of course, you can always just donate directly to Planned Parenthood, either at the national level or local level. I have a recurring donation set up so each month $5 is debited from my account — it costs the same as a cinnamon dolce latte at Starbucks and I don't even notice it's gone. But if you're looking for other ways to support the cause, there are plenty of fashionable items out there that are not only cute, but also donate a portion or all of their proceeds to Planned Parenthood. Take that, Paul Ryan.

Whether you want to rock a shirt that very boldly expresses your stance on women's rights or you just want to give a subtle nod to the organization with a pin on the lapel of your jacket, there's an option out there for you.

Here are a handful of kick-ass items you can buy that will support Planned Parenthood.

1. This "The Future Is Female" Tee

The Future Is Female T-shirt, $30, Otherwild

This shirt is a nod to the original from the '70s and now you can buy it from Otherwild, with 25% of the proceeds going to Planned Parenthood.

2. The Now Iconic Nasty Woman T-Shirt

Nasty Woman T-Shirt, $25, Google Ghost

The saying that inspired us all... This Nasty Woman T-shirt became the symbol of women supporting Hillary Clinton's historic run for president. 50% of each sale goes to support Planned Parenthood. They've donated over $100,000 to the organization so far.

3. This Nasty Woman Pin

Nasty Woman Enamel Lapel Pin, $8, Etsy

This subtle lapel pin will donate 10% of its proceeds to Planned Parenthood. It may not seem like a lot, but it all adds up.

4. This Dope Planner

Year Of The Nasty Woman Planner, $28, Google Ghost

I'm literally ordering this immediately. This amazing planner features self care tips and quotes from inspiring women. Like all of their products, 50 percent proceeds go to Planned Parenthood.
