"Comic's Choice Redux" is the 13th comedy benefit to raise money for WRRAP, which works with hundreds of clinics across the nation, including Planned Parenthood. Schorr said: "Women who cannot afford a safe and legal abortion are helped by WRRAP's financial grants. The primary purpose for WRRAP's work is for the safety of women, who would otherwise be forced to carry a crisis pregnancy to term, which in their desperation could cause great harm to themselves."
