Actress Scarlett Johansson is the latest celebrity to speak out in favor of Planned Parenthood in the wake of proposed budget cuts from Capitol Hill.

"A cancer that goes undetected, a sexually transmitted disease left untreated, a woman unable to get the birth control she needs to plan her family and take control of her own destiny. This is the disastrous vision of some leaders in the United States Health of Representatives," Johansson says in a new YouTube video. "Every year, Planned Parenthood provides this essential care to millions of women, men and teens. For many people — especially those with low incomes — Planned Parenthood is their only source of health care. Let your members of Congress know where you stand."

(Actress Gwyneth Paltrow recently made a similar plea on YouTube.)

As the U.S. government looks to avoid a shutdown as a result of an impasse over the budget, federal funding of the organization remains a key issue.

As POLITICO reported on Thursday, “…all signs are that Speaker John Boehner is making the Planned Parenthood funding cutoff a higher priority in the negotiations than the nine House-passed riders that defund all or part of the health care law. “
