Katy Perry donates $10,000 to Planned Parenthood: ‘It’s time to turn words into action!’

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 14 (UPI) — Katy Perry told her social media followers that she donated $10,000 to Planned Parenthood.

“It’s time to turn words into action!” the pop star wrote on Instagram Sunday alongside a screenshot of the amount she donated.

“There are so many steps to take, but my first vow is to support organizations that may have their funding support taken from them in the future by the government,” the staunch Hillary Clinton supporter continued.

“I am making a public donation to Planned Parenthood for the teenage me, who made several visits to first a clinic in Santa Barbara and then Los Angeles, CA to educate myself on my sexual health, a subject I had little to no information on because of my sheltered upbringing,” she wrote.

“I had no idea how things worked down there, and had no idea how to make a plan for them. Planned Parenthood educated me on my body and my reproductive health, so that I could focus on my dreams and using my voice until I knew the timing was right for me to make a plan to have a family.”

“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. 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,” the 32-year-old concluded referencing her real name.

Perry last made headlines for having to cancel a performance in China due to a family emergency.
