'The Hunger Games’ star relied on Planned Parenthood clinics as a teenager for the contraceptive pill and condoms. Speaking out in support of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America - in the wake of a 2015 shooting at the Colorado branch - she said: "It's so awful... It isn't an attack on abortions; it's an attack on women. "Because Planned Parenthood is so much more [than abortion]. My mom was really religious with me when I was young. She's not so much anymore. And I wouldn't have been able to get birth control if it weren't for Planned P. I wouldn't have been able to get condoms and birth control and all these things I needed as a normal teenager who was growing up in a Jesus house... What harm comes from supplying people with birth control, condoms, Pap smears, and cancer screenings?"

Hailey - who is married to Justin Bieber - didn’t always have model looks as birth control threw her hormones out of whack and made her skin “go off” when she was younger. The 26-year-old star said: "I talked about it with my doctor and came to find it's because the hormones from the birth control mess with your natural balance. You just have to be patient, let it happen, and let it even out. For me, I'd take that over having a baby right now, so..."

Kendall Jenner spoke of her acne hell to Refinery29 back in 2019. The model revealed she suffered from bad zits when she was 14 years old and they got worse when she began taking the contraceptive pill.

It started to happen all over my face — milia and also gnarly zits."

The Marvel star is a proud advocate for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America having relied on the service as a teen. Scarlett was able to get the contraceptive pill and also get smear tests and breast examinations. She said: "Growing up, I used [PP's] services. All my girlfriends did – not just for birth control but for Pap smears and breast exams. "[At 15] I was living in New York City and had visited a Planned Parenthood there. "It was actually my clinician at Planned Parenthood who suggested I speak with my paediatrician if I was seeking a referral. She was compassionate and professional and told me she was happy to treat me for regular check-ups, and when the time came, for STD and cancer screenings. No judgment. No questions asked. Planned Parenthood provided a safe place where I could be treated with gentle guidance."

In 2016, singer Halsey revealed on Twitter that she has endometriosis, a condition in which the tissue that normally lines the uterus, grows outside of it.

‘Lucy in the Sky’ actress Natalie Portman gave a powerful speech at her alma mater, Harvard University, where she opened up completely about being under a rainy cloud at some point of her life. She blamed a non-defunct brand of birth control pills for contributing to her depressive state.

Appearing on the podcast ‘Informed Pregnancy’, comedian-and-actress Amy Schumer talked about the ups and downs of being a mother, as well as about the side effects while being on and off the contraceptive pill. She said: “Being off birth control was really tough on my body, and so I was in pain, I was in a lot of pain."

The 'Pitch Perfect' actress described in a Planned Parenthood video how the organization helped her by providing her with the contraceptive pill when she was done with her studies and had no health insurance.
