Scarlett Johansson Designs T-Shirt for Planned Parenthood's New Women's Rights Campaign

Anyway, I really appreciate Johanssen's contributions at a time when many celebrities won't even speak out for reproductive choice!

Johansson's shirt features her signature on one of the sleeves in addition to a message to politicians about women's rights to health care and birth control.

"Like many of my friends, I was appalled by the thought of men taking away women's ability to make our own personal health care decisions. That's when I knew I couldn't sit on the sidelines and why I'm proud to support Planned Parenthood Action Fund's Women are Watching campaign to ensure that young women know the high stakes for women's health and rights this November."....
