‘Top Chef’ Host And Judges Wore Planned Parenthood Pins During The Show’s Finale

I can get really into cooking shows. “MasterChef” and “MasterChef Junior” will always be my favorites, but “Top Chef” is officially on the chopping block.

All of the judges– Tom Colicchio, Gail Simmons, Graham Elliot and Jonathan Waxman– recently decided to sport Planned Parenthood pins on the show.

Looking sharp, @padmalakshmi, @tomcolicchio, @gailsimmons, @grahamelliot @chefjwaxman.

Great complement to the #TopChef finale. https://t.co/8sHOhhQI9Y pic.twitter.com/2oOmWTOKJS

I think I’m going to be sick.

The host, Padma Lakshmi, was extra super excited about being allowed to wear the pin and tweeted about it. She couldn’t contain her excitement.

I’ve been supporting @PPFA for a long, long time and want to thank @BravoTopChef for letting me showcase them tonight. #PlannedParenthood #TopChef

Cecile Richards practically peed herself.

Your support is always appreciated 🙏🏻💕

Some dude named Pete basically asked why this was even necessary…

Why does politics have to invade everything? Tonight watching @TopChefA3 on @Bravotv all the judges on the final episode including @PadmaLakshmi @tomcolicchio and @gailsimmons all wearing planned parenthood lapel pins!!!! Lol. Come on just stick with food. Crap can't we relax?

— Pete Witte (@petewitte) March 9, 2018

… and Padma responded.

No @petewitte we can’t relax. We need food for survival, we also need privacy to deal with our own bodies as we see fit. 👍🏽 @PPFA #PlannedParenthood #TopChef https://t.co/zq69Mn2Pm2

Interesting that she chose to use the word “survival.”

The founder of PP Margaret Sanger was a racist and eugenicist. Read the history of PP. An unborn child is a unique human being so no one should be allowed to kill another human being because they are inconvenient. Please study history and biology.

That’s all we ask.

Here’s the thing: I know there are TONS of personalities on TV who disagree with me. I don’t know Gordon Ramsay’s political leanings, but I don’t care because he’s not wearing freaking PINS ON HIS SHOW. It’s one thing to quietly support Planned Parenthood. It’s another to proudly display that on a show that has absolutely nothing to do with it. That’s a surefire way to tick people off. You’re straight up telling me, “I support the murder of innocent babies!”

Thank you for making everything political said no one, ever.

Politics everywhere.

— Michael Bruner (@MichaelBruner) March 9, 2018

So they all support the murder of babies and the selling of body parts. Thanks for letting us know.

— Kenny Miller (@KennyJohnMiller) March 10, 2018

Yep, basically.

Abortion and food? Who would have thought?

Will never watch #TopChef again. It's not just your (or my) body, Padma. There are two lives involved when a woman is pregnant – two hearts, two heads, four hands.

I did not see the show. I am glad I was spared such a disgusting evil display.

Disappointed to hear you support the cause of slaughtering hundreds of thousands of precious lives every year.

— Mick States (@stateofclaire) March 9, 2018

Disgusting display of support of the murder of millions of unborn human beings and the selling of their body parts. Goodbye #TopChef

I’m so disappointed by this.
