   Joss Whedon releases short film in support of Planned Parenthood   
      
   The 'Avengers' director is protesting Republican politicians' efforts to   
   shut down the family planning clinic   
      
   Joss Whedon has released a new PSA video in support of Planned Parenthood,   
   the reproductive healthcare organization that has come under fire under   
   Donald Trump’s administration.   
      
   For more than 100 years, Planned Parenthood has offered sex education and   
   advice to women and their partners. But under the right-wing fervor gripping   
   American politics, Republicans are redoubling their efforts to close down   
   the non-for-profit organization.   
      
   Through legislative means, Republican leaders are essentially forcing the   
   closure of Planned Parenthood clinics across the United States; in Iowa, for   
   instance, Governor Terry Branstad signed a bill into law that bans women on   
   state benefits from receiving any kind of non-abortion medical care in a   
   clinic that also offers abortions.   
      
   That move means Planned Parenthood will now close four clinics in the   
   Midwestern state, a third of Planned Parenthood’s entire presence in Iowa.   
      
   As an act of protest, filmmaker Joss Whedon has now added his support to   
   Planned Parenthood, with a short called UNLOCKED.   
      
       [first half has scenes running backward if the clinic is closed, then   
   runs forward with different scenes with the clinic open]
