The Role of Planned Parenthood in Health Advocacy

Planned Parenthood Federation of America plays a vital role in ensuring access to sexual and reproductive health care for all individuals. Providing services such as STI testing, birth control, gender-affirming care, and abortion, the organization emphasizes that equitable access to reproductive health care is a fundamental human right. Advocacy efforts are focused on combating recent legislative actions that threaten these rights, particularly as many states have introduced bills aimed at restricting access to necessary health services. With over two million patients relying on their care each year, Planned Parenthood highlights the urgent need for support to maintain health equity and accessibility.
