Planned Parenthood is an amazing organization. As a teenager, I found myself scared and uninformed on my reproductive health options. A teen crisis hotline referred me to Planned Parenthood. Within a day I was able to talk to doctors and nurses about my personal health care and my options. I was provided free screenings and exams, as well as educational materials and birth control. The staff has always been respectful, caring, confidential, and never judgmental. Planned Parenthood is an integral part of the community and I would love to see better funding towards it so that both uninsured men and women can continue to receive affordable screenings, treatments, and contraceptive options.
