Planned Parenthood: Still Essential, Still Under Threat
Dear Partners,
Families USA just published a new blog highlighting the unparalleled value of Planned Parenthood in providing health care access to low income and underserved communities. As you know, Planned Parenthood is facing a myriad of threats to its ability to provide essential health care to communities nationwide. We hope that this blog provides more background on these threats and the advocacy being done to protect one of the nation's largest providers of essential reproductive health care.

consider Planned Parenthood their regular doctor
"Planned Parenthood provides vital health care services to nearly 2.1 million people across the country. Like independent abortion care providers that are also essential and also remain under threat many people served by Planned Parenthood have low incomes or live in underserved communities. Recent efforts at the state and federal level to defund abortion care providers are jeopardizing access to essential health care for millions of Americans. These attacks have recently taken on a new shape with the passage of Republican health care cuts, which specifically target Planned Parenthood as a provider of comprehensive health services in Medicaid."
