People magazine is proud to feature actress and abortion rights activist Lena Dunham in its March 2 issue for its segment titled, "Why I Care: Personal Stories About Giving Back."

Under the guise that Dunham "supports access to birth control and reproductive rights," People highlights the Girls creator's support of Planned Parenthood. It is stated that Dunham "feels 'compelled' to help." But why Dunham praises Planned Parenthood is more pointed than People's murky generalization of her beliefs.

In Dunham's own word from the article:

What I love about Planned Parenthood is it is focused on destigmatizing abortion and birth control.

Dunham shares that she is thankful for her mother, who made sure she was amply supplied with condoms and birth control pills, but for some she knew in college, they weren't so lucky:

I saw how many women didn’t have someone to talk to or the resources to get birth control – and Planned Parenthood became that place.

Dunham continues:

It’s been 42 years since Roe v. Wade, and there is still a nonstop attack on a woman’s right to choose and make decisions about her body. ... A huge part of Girls is an attempt to shift the stigma around women talking about their sexuality. Women are ashamed of things that were in their past – I don’t want that to be the case anymore.

At the end of the article, People directs readers to Planned Parenthood's website "for more information" -- something NewsBusters dubbed "basically an advertisement" for the abortion provider.
