Protect X: Why the Title X Gag Rule Is Our Next Big Fight
The Trump-Pence administration just issued a "gag rule" — one of the most dangerous and unconscionable attacks on our health and rights we’ve seen yet.
It dismantles the Title X program — founded nearly 50 years ago to provide affordable birth control and reproductive health care for millions of Americans.
Mission Statement
More than 100 years ago, Planned Parenthood was founded on this simple idea: Your body is your own. If it is not, we cannot be truly free or equal.
Take a Stand
Choose time commitment
Sign the Petition
Politicians in multiple states are advocating bans on abortion at a point before most women even know they're pregnant.
No six-week abortion bans.
No bans, PERIOD.
