"Elizabeth Banks is doing whatever it takes to support President Barack Obama&amp;apos;s 2012 reelection campaign -- including talking about her &amp;quot;heavy flow.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nOn Wednesday, the 38-year-old Hunger Games actress released a new very personal campaign video praising Obama for his support of Planned Parenthood.\r\n&amp;quot;Planned Parenthood is something I care very deeply about,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;Planned Parenthood was my healthcare provider when I didn&amp;apos;t have insurance after graduating from college.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Yes, I got birth control but it was for my massive migraine headaches and my heavy flow,&amp;quot; Banks admits. &amp;quot;Yeah, I&amp;apos;m on record as saying I had a heavy flow. And, unfortunately, these are the types of thing I don&amp;apos;t want to discuss with employers. I don&amp;apos;t want to talk about that.&amp;quot;\r\nThe actress also attacks presumptive Republican candidate Mitt Romney, who has said he would cut off federal funding to Planned Parenthood. She argues that &amp;quot;95%&amp;quot; Planned Parenthood&amp;apos;s services are not controversial.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;For that little 5% that Mitt Romney decides he doesn&amp;apos;t agree with, he&amp;apos;s going to take away cancer screenings. What is he doing?&amp;quot; she asks in the video. &amp;quot;He&amp;apos;s going to take away people&amp;apos;s access to health care close by . . . We&amp;apos;re talking about working-class ladies who need health care.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;President Obama has not compromised on women&amp;apos;s rights,&amp;quot; she says, &amp;quot;And that&amp;apos;s why President Obama needs to stay in office.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
