Abortion Access
Planned Parenthood believes that women facing an unintended pregnancy must have access to safe, legal abortion services without interference from the government.
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.
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.
Immigration Reform
Planned Parenthood believes all people should have access to quality, affordable health care — regardless of income, insurance status, or citizenship. For nearly one hundred years, Planned Parenthood has provided high-quality, confidential, nonjudgmental health care to women, men and young people across the country.
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.
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.
Sexual Assault
It’s unacceptable: Nearly one in five American women and one in 59 men have been raped in their lifetime.
Sex Education
Planned Parenthood is working to prevent unintended teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections through evidence-based, comprehensive sex education.
