Planned Parenthood celebrates birth control mandate … in Bollywood attire

Font Size:

In celebration of Monday’s Department of Health and Human Services announcement that all insurers must cover contraceptives without charging patient co-payments, Planned Parenthood’s leaders felt the need to show some excitement.

And show it they have — in Bollywood style, complete with a dancing birth-control pill dispenser.

Thursday the abortion and women’s health services provider launched a new Web video showing women, men, and a birth control pill box dancing in celebration of the government’s new mandate.

Watch:

“Planned Parenthood goes Bollywood to celebrate Monday’s HHS decision! Birth control will be covered under new insurance plans without out-of-pocket expenses or co-pays – and that just makes us want to DANCE! :)” Planned Parenthood cheered on its Facebook profile.

It is unclear why Bollywood dancing is a part of the celebration.
