Planned Parenthood is committed to protecting and defending women's access to the full range of reproductive health care — including access to abortion. Decisions about childbearing should be made by women, their families, and their doctors — not by politicians.
In order to make an informed decision, women need access to all reproductive health care options and should have the right to seek and obtain safe, legal abortion services without interference from the government.
Despite the health benefits safe, legal abortion offers women, opponents of a woman’s right to choose continue to chip away at abortion access — in the courts, in the U.S. Congress, and in state legislatures.
Freedom of choice is the cornerstone of reproductive rights. Planned Parenthood works in the states, at the federal level, and around the world to protect every woman’s right to make her own decisions about childbearing. If politicians really want to reduce the number of abortions, they should adopt commonsense solutions, such as increased access to affordable contraception and comprehensive, medically accurate sex education.
