Birth Control: We All Benefit
Planned Parenthood believes that all people deserve access to birth control and other preventive health care, including breast and cervical cancer screenings, and testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections.
State Attacks on Women's Health
The vast majority of Americans oppose efforts to overturn Roe v. Wade — yet in state after state, Planned Parenthood is on the front lines fighting dangerous bills, regulations, and executive actions that would prevent a woman from making her own personal, private decision about her health and medical care.
Medicaid and Women
Medicaid provides critical preventive and primary reproductive health care services to low-income women, including birth control. It is widely known that access to contraception advances women’s health.
Abortion Access
Planned Parenthood believes that women facing an unintended pregnancy must have access to safe, legal abortion services without interference from the government.
Emergency Contraception
Access to safe, reliable contraception is an essential part of basic health care. A woman should have all the tools she needs to stay healthy and plan for her future and her family — including access to emergency contraception.
Women's Health and the Budget
At a time of economic hardship for so many families, why would some politicians in Washington rather focus on limiting health care access for women?
Health Care Reform and Women
The Affordable Care Act is the single biggest advancement in women’s health in a generation, and in a historic ruling, the Supreme Court decided to uphold the law.
Opposing Attacks on Women's Health
Women must be able to access health care without fear of violence, harassment, or intimidation.
Sex Education
Planned Parenthood is working to prevent unintended teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections through evidence-based, comprehensive sex education.
