Planned Parenthood Action Fund released a video entitled "Yes We Plan" on Tuesday, inspired by Will.i.am's 2008 Obama video "Yes We Can," urging voters to protect women's health issues by re-electing President Obama. The ad features Mary J. Blige, Julianne Moore, and Q-Tip.
Description of ad:
With so much at stake at this critical moment, our voices — and our votes — matter more than ever. And after everything President Obama has done to stand up for women in the past four years, it's time to speak, act, and vote.

YES WE PLAN VIDEO AND SONG SCRIPT:
[OBAMA MESSAGE REGARDING PLANNED PARENTHOOD]
Obama: For you, and for most Americans, protecting women's health is a mission that stands above politics.
Women are not an interest group. They're mothers, and daughters, and sisters, and wives. They're half of this country. And they're perfectly capable of making their own choices about their health.
Generation after generation, we have built a better world for our daughters. We've found our voice, and our voice has grown powerful. And we know that when we speak, the world must listen. The world must listen.
Yes we plan.
When we come together, we build healthier families and stronger communities. We build a better America.
Yes we plan.
Every decision we make leads to new and better opportunities. For ourselves, and for our daughters and sons.
We choose today the world we will wake up in tomorrow. We select leaders who will deliver on the promises we make to our children. We choose to move forward, always forward, never turning back.
We've got to keep moving forward.
[OBAMA VIRGINA SPEECH, 18:18]
Obama: We've gotta keep moving forward!! We've gotta keep moving forward!! We've got more work to do.
Yes we plan.
[OBAMA VIRGINA SPEECH, 7:45]
Obama: "I don't think your boss should decide what's best for your health and safety. I don't think your insurance company gets to decide what care you should get. And I sure don't think any politician should decide. The only person who should decide about your health care is you."
We believe that when we make the important decisions about our lives, our health and our families, we have control over our destinies.
Yes we plan.
We have earned the right to be respected. And when we stand together to speak, to fight, to protect our health and our rights, we are powerful. And we will win. And we will win.
Yes we plan.
[OBAMA MESSAGE REGARDING PLANNED PARENTHOOD]
Obama: I know you'll never stop fighting to protect the health care and choices that America's women deserve. And as long as I have the privilege of being your president, neither will I.
Yes we plan.
