Planned Parenthood hit out against the Ana de Armas film "Blonde," claiming it contributes to "anti-abortion propaganda" for the way it portrays a talking fetus.
In a Hollywood Reporter interview, Planned Parenthood official Caren Spruch said the creators of "Blonde" "contribute to anti-abortion propaganda and stigmatize people’s health care decisions instead." In "Blonde," Marilyn Monroe is shown having two abortions against her will, and they are dramatized by a CGI-rendered fetus.

Monroe never publicly revealed she had an abortion, but at the time of her gigantic success, it was commonplace for movie studios to arrange for female actors "to take a ‘rest’ or be out for an ‘appendectomy’ while the studio arranged for them to terminate a pregnancy," according to Entertainment Weekly.
