Hollywood actress Scarlet Johansson is urging her fans to stand by the Planned Parenthood despite the series of undercover videos that show the organizations executives discussing plans to harvest the organs of aborted babies.

“I stand with Planned Parenthood, because Planned Parenthood stands up for me,” Johansson pledges in a new clip posted to the group’s Instagram page.

The video was posted Thursday, two weeks after the Center for Medical Progress, a pro-life nonprofit, released the first of a series of online videos showing Planned Parenthood execs discussing medical procedures for the sale of fetal tissue.

Actress Gabriella Hoffman also vowed to stand by Planned Parenthood in a video posted to the abortion giant’s Instagram account on Friday.

“I stand by Planned Parenthood because every woman needs a safe and supportive place to make her choice,” Hoffman says in the video.
