Vocal Republican Kelsey Grammer likens abortion to gun deaths as he wears political T-shirt 

He has made no secret of his political leanings and Kelsey Grammer took to Instagram to get behind another cause close to his heart.

The 60-year-old recently modeled an anti-abortion T-shirt, which likens the procedure to gun deaths, for a social media post.

Grammer, who is best known for playing Dr. Frasier Crane, has previously stated he is an 'out of the closet Republican'.

The shirt, featuring a handgun graphic, states: 'Would it bother us more if they used guns? Abort73.com'.

The website, which sells the T-shirts, is an anti-abortion campaign aimed at attempting to change people's minds about the controversial issue.

The post comes as controversy surrounds Planned Parenthood, a non-profit organization that provides reproductive health services.  

The House Budget Committee approved Republican legislation on Friday that would scuttle President Barack Obama's health care law, block federal payments to Planned Parenthood - and likely lead to a presidential veto.

Regardless of the outcome, it is a divisive issue often seeing many citizens taking staunch sides along established party lines.  

Meanwhile, in 2012 Grammer complained to Jay Leno on the Tonight Show that his Republican party leanings were the reason his short-lived show Boss was not nominated for an Emmy.

'Now explain something to me, you get a Golden Globe for Boss, but you don’t even get an Emmy nomination, Leno asked.

'Yeah, its hard to figure,' Grammer said. 'It may have to do with several things, honestly, but I think it’s possible, I mean, I am a, I’m a declared out of the closet Republican in Hollywood.'

'Do I believe it’s possible that some young person, young voting actor, or even older voting member for the Emmys, would sit there and go, "Yeah, that’s a great performance, but oooooh, I just hate everything he stands for?" Grammer asked, before answering sarcastically: 'I don’t believe that’s possible.'

The Frasier star is a member of the Republican Party and has expressed an interest in politics saying he may someday run for United States Congress.

An active campaigner for the GOP, Grammer was a guest at President George W. Bush's first inauguration, campaigned for John McCain in the 2008 general election and endorsed Michele Bachmann for the Republican nomination for President in 2012.
