At Planned Parenthood, we believe reproductive health care IS health care — and that health care is a human right. Everyone deserves health care that’s free of shame, stigma, or judgment.
TFW you serve 2.4M patients and they’re still trying to bring you down…
Care. No matter what.

Yes, you should still enroll in coverage before the January 31 open enrollment deadline. When you enroll in coverage, you and the health insurance company enter into a contract that is generally binding for a year (no matter how the law changes). This means that if you enroll in coverage now then you will have coverage throughout 2017.
In case you missed it:
Yesterday, we hosted a tumblr Issue Time about the Affordable Care Act. Here’s our most popular question. You can sign up for health insurance and have it for 2017 if you sign up by tomorrow (1/31/17).
Today during my @plannedparenthood escorting shift, Ruth, one of the old lady protestors, started her gross prolife spiel at some woman going in. The woman whipped around and snapped, “Bitch, I got a YEAST INFECTION.”
Planned Parenthood has been here for 100 years, and one thing is clear: We will never back down and we will never stop fighting to ensure that Planned Parenthood patients have access to the care they need and for the people who come from communities that need our continued support in this new reality.
Many of the people Planned Parenthood health centers serve may be concerned about their safety, and the safety of their families and friends. We will support our immigrant, Muslim, Black and Latinx colleagues, partners and patients in the face of threats made over the last several months.
Health care should not be political. Every morning, Planned Parenthood health center staff across the country wake up and open their doors, as they have this morning, to care for anyone who needs them, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, income, or country of origin. They will do so today, they will do so tomorrow, they will do so every day as they have for 100 years.
Over 300,000 children are murdered inside Planned Parenthood clinics every year. http://ift.tt/ITL4iD
BULL FUCKING SHIT.
My mother was three months pregnant with me when she waltzed into Planned Parenthood. But she didn’t get an abortion. Not because she had a ‘sudden change of heart’ nor because someone ‘lead her Jesus’ but because she went there to make sure I was and would be born healthy.
My parents were two poor young adults in their late teens and early twenties when I was conceived. They lived in a tiny apartment and had no insurance, but they wanted me. My mom drove herself to Planned Parenthood from the third month of pregnancy to the fifth (until she finally got medical insurance.) There she got the ultrasound screenings, found out I was a girl, got the prenatal vitamins and were referred to see the physician I’ve been going to from my birth to now.
Thanks to Planned Parenthood, I was born healthy at six pounds, seven ounces. I had no malformations, no preventable disorders and no preventable health issues. The only thing that occurred was I was in ‘fetal distress’ and was born a week before the due date.
I ‘made it out alive’ and thanks to Planned Parenthood I ‘made it out’ healthy.
Take this bullshit elsewhere.
TL;DR?: Read the bold.
Re blogging for the bolded text. The op is peddling junk science and fundamentalist misconceptions.
Planned Parenthood helps pregnant people in whatever capacity they need. They’re one of the only places in America where you can get completely free prenatal care if you need it. They also prevent hundreds of thousands of abortions by providing free or low-cost birth control to people who couldn’t afford it otherwise. Groups like Personhood USA are hell-bent on closing them down because pro-lifers give no actual shits about living, breathing human beings.
(Also, that image depicts a fetus that’s very far along. 88% of abortions take place in the first trimester. SURPRISE pro-lifers are manipulative!!!)
lol do these idiots honestly believe planned parenthood doesn’t provide obstetric services if desired? ideg where their ideas come from.
Now health insurance plans are required to cover screenings and counseling for domestic violence as a preventive health benefit for women. Thanks, Obamacare!
