Sex and the City's Cynthia Nixon Wants Planned Parenthood Mother's Day Gifts


Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon, who plays Miranda on the popular television program and movie, is the latest celebrity to stump for donations for the Planned Parenthood abortion business on Mother's Day. Her letter to Planned Parenthood donors follows one from children's author Judy Blume.
The Blume letter sparked so much national outrage after LifeNews.com exposed it, that Planned Parenthood begged its supporters to send thank you notes to her.
Like the Blume letter, the missive from Nixon ironically urges donations to Planned Parenthood to celebrate Mother's Day even though Planned Parenthood routinely puts women's health at risks with unsafe abortions and spends most of its time doing abortions instead of offering women legitimate prenatal health care services.
"I am Cynthia Nixon. I am an actor, an activist, a mom, a daughter. But today, I am writing to you about motherhood, on behalf of Planned Parenthood and the many people they serve," the actress writes. "The truth is, in my book, there is no organization that supports motherhood more than Planned Parenthood. That's why I'm honoring the moms I know with a gift to Planned Parenthood today."
With Planned Parenthood killing children and injuring women in abortions, Nixon displays an astonishing impudicity when she adds, "To me, it just makes sense: honor the courageous mothers who are raising kids ... with a gift to the courageous organization that helps so many women."
Like Blume, Nixon says the fact that more women are going to Planned Parenthood centers for abortions is another reason to support the organization.
"And right now — with more and more women seeking care from Planned Parenthood affiliate health centers — we need to do all we can to support them," she said.
This isn't the first time Nixon has lent her celebrity name to promote abortion.
Nixon attended a pro-abortion Planned Parenthood event in August 2004 and proceeds from a charity auction consisting of clothing worn by the stars on the set in 2004 benefited the abortion business.
During the series, Nixon's character Miranda considers an abortion. She is determined that she's going to have an abortion and her boyfriend will never know before ultimately deciding to have the baby.
In the waiting room, she has doubts, but finally hears her name called and goes into another room. Eventually, Miranda appears at home and tells Charlotte that she couldn't go through with the abortion and she's going to have the baby.

SEX AND THE CITY - SEX CO-STAR PRAISES PARKER'S PARENTAL SKILLS



SEX AND THE CITY actor MARIO CANTONE is sure his co-star SARAH JESSICA PARKER will be the perfect mum to her new baby twins - because her six-year-old son is perfect.Parker and her husband Matthew Broderick announced last week (28Apr09) they are set to become parents to surrogate twin daughters. The tots, due this summer (09), will be sisters for their son James Wilkie, and Parker fears she won't be able to balance her acting roles with her home life once the twins arrive. But Cantone, who played Anthony Marentino in the hit U.S. show, insists the actress has nothing to worry about, and heaps praise on her and Broderick's parental achievements so far. He says, "That kid James Wilkie is so cute and so brilliant and so smart and he's got such a wit about him "I only spent a little time with him but I fell in love with the kid. I just think he's something else. He's like a smart, witty, appropriate child and that's rare." And Cantone is adamant Parker has always harboured dreams of having girls in her brood. He adds, "She wanted girls I'm sure and I think it's good. And I also think if you're going to have one child, you should have another. The only child thing is a tough thing."

'Sex and the City' sequel: Mr. Big's bringing up our issues yet again

Apparently, Mr. Big is coming back for more Sex and the City in the planned sequel, and there's a certain comfort in that: It was tough not to root for Carrie and Big to finally tie the knot in the last movie, if for no other reason than that they'd worked so hard, for so long, to get to that satisfying "I Do." (Plus, you know, he got her that closet!) And it's hard to imagine they would've pulled off a sequel without him -- either Carrie and Big would've had to split by the time the movie picks up, which would be a pretty bleak beginning for a girls-night-out funfest, or Big would have to be conspicuously off on some prolonged business trip or similar. (New Line confirms that Noth will be in the film, but declines to comment on any details.)
On the other hand, Big still causes me all kinds of angst. I didn't love the TV finale because I never bought that this conflicted man-boy mogul would follow anyone to Paris for a Grand Gesture moment. I didn't like the feeling that this show had actually been about nailing down the impossible man -- who rarely, in real life, chases his true love down to declare his undying ardor. I knew Carrie returned to New York at least partly because she missed her friends, but I wanted to feel like it was 100-percent about them. And to this day, even after tearing up with joy to see Carrie and Big tie the knot at the end of Sex and the City: The Movie, I still wonder if they truly belong together, or if they each would've been better off with someone more centered and sane and realistic. (Oh, Aidan.) Then again, maybe I'm just bringing my own Mr. Big issues to the situation (most of us single girls have them) -- and maybe that's just the point, that we all take Sex and the City personally...and we love it all the more for it.
