  • SUPREME COURT of the UNITED STATES Syllabus PLANNED
    SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus PLANNED PARENTHOOD OF SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA et al. v. CASEY, GOVERNOR OF PENNSYLVANIA, et al. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT No. 91-744. Argued April 22, 1992 -- Decided June 29, 1992 At issue are five provisions of the Pennsylvania Abortion Control Act of 1982: § 3205, which requires that a woman seeking an abortion give her informed consent prior to the procedure, and specifies that she be provided with certain information at least 24 hours before the abortion is performed; § 3206, which mandates the informed consent of one parent for a minor to obtain an abortion, but provides a judicial bypass procedure; § 3209, which commands that, unless certain exceptions apply, a married woman seeking an abortion must sign a statement indicating that she has notified her husband; § 3203, which defines a "medical emergency" that will excuse compliance with the foregoing requirements; and §§ 3207(b), 3214(a), and 3214(f), which impose certain reporting requirements on facilities providing abortion services. Before any of the provisions took effect, the petitioners, five abortion clinics and a physician representing himself and a class of doctors who provide abortion services, brought this suit seeking a declaratory judgment that each of the provisions was unconstitutional on its face, as well as injunctive relief. The District Court held all the provisions unconstitutional and permanently enjoined their enforcement. The Court of Appeals affirmed in part and reversed in part, striking down the husband notification provision but upholding the others. Held: The judgment in No. 91-902 is affirmed; the judgment in No.

  • Crisis Pregnancy Centers Are Anti-Choice Anti-Abortion Faith-Based Fake Clinics With
    Crisis Pregnancy Centers are anti-choice anti-abortion faith-based fake clinics with NO OVERSIGHT Financial oversight of taxpayer-funded pregnancy resource centers is severely lacking. In some states no one has any idea where the money given to these centers is going or how it being spent. NO HONESTY CPCs deliberately lie about the medical effects of abortions and about how far women are into their pregnancy so they think they have more time to make a choice about abortion than they actually do. NO CHOICES They advise women who have been sexually assaulted not to use emergency contraception. Beyond this, they won’t suggest ANY women use contraception for health issues or to prevent pregnancy. NO PRIVACY CPCs collect the same detailed personal medical information as a clinic but are not required to keep it private, like a doctor’s office is. They reserve the right to reveal or sell personal info for “morally compelling” reasons. NO SEPARATION These are faith-based organizations that oppose abortion. They have religious missions and say they “express the love of Jesus Christ.” Funding them with taxpayer money is a clear violation of separation of church and state. Crisis Pregnancy Centers (or Pregnancy Counseling Centers) mislead and coerce people facing unintended pregnancies who believe that they are visiting a neutral and objective medical facility. Know the facts: • There are around 4,000 of these operations across the United States. • They position themselves as small, local, and volunteer-run, but more than 70% are affiliated with large, well-resourced networks providing funding and legal muscle.

  • The Irreplaceable Role of Planned Parenthood Health Centers
    The Irreplaceable Role of Planned Parenthood Health Centers Planned Parenthood is a leading provider of high-quality, affordable health care for women, men, and young people, and the nation’s largest provider of sex education. Planned Parenthood health centers provided millions of people in the U.S. with contraception, testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), lifesaving cancer screenings, and safe, legal abortion. At least one in five women has relied on a Planned Parenthood health center for care in her lifetime. • In 2017, Planned Parenthood health centers saw 2.4 million patients and provided more than 4.7 million tests and treatments for sexually transmitted infections, nearly 300,000 breast exams, more than 270,000 Pap tests, and birth control to nearly 2 million people. • Planned Parenthood leads the country with the most up-to-date medical standards and guidelines for reproductive health care and uses clinical research to advance health care delivery to reach more people in need of care. • Fifty-six percent (56%) of Planned Parenthood health centers are in health professional shortage areas, rural or medically underserved areas. Planned Parenthood health centers provide primary and preventive health care to many who otherwise would have nowhere to turn for family planning care. • More than one-third (39%) of Planned Parenthood patients are people of color, with more than 560,000 patients who identify as Latino and nearly 390,000 patients who identify as Black. • Of Planned Parenthood patients who report their income, nearly 75 percent live with incomes at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL), and at least 60 percent of Planned Parenthood patients access care through the Medicaid program and/or the Title X family planning program.

  • Community Resource Guide to Pregnancy Health and Services New Orleans, LA
    Community Resource Guide to Pregnancy Health and Services New Orleans, LA Artist: Marci Mathew This guide is dedicated to the health of our NOLA families and their little ones. Welcome: New Orleans community elder and former midwife, Mama Jamilah Peters-Muhammad, of the Ashe Cultural Arts Center, asks pregnant women a simple, yet empowering question answered with an empowering, yet simple answer, “Who is birthing your baby? …YOU ARE!” Planned Parenthood and our community partners, dedicated to addressing healthy pregnancy outcomes for women of our community, offer this guide as our commitment to providing information on your rights and options for quality prenatal care. The United States has the highest rates of infant mortality and low birth weight babies of any industrialized country. The state of Louisiana ranks 49th in infant mortality and low birth weight babies. Low birth weight babies are 24 times more likely to die during infancy than normal weight babies. African American women are disproportionately affected due to persisting health care disparities and have the highest rate of low birth weight babies in Louisiana. (CDC Vital and Health Statistics Report, 2009). Together we can change this reality, one healthy pregnancy at a time. Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast: “Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast is a leading non-profit provider of reproductive health care, sexuality education and advocacy for reproductive health rights. We’ve been working in Louisiana for nearly 30 years helping women, men and young people lead healthy lives.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 1, 2009 MEDIA CONTACTS: Liz Eyraud, Planned Parenthood 314.531.7526 ext. 336 [email protected] SEPTEMBER IS GYN CANCER AWARENESS MONTH Woman of all ages can count on Planned Parenthood for any well-woman needs GYN cancer affects women of all ages and walks of life. The broad classification includes five main and most common types of cancer that are associated with a woman's reproductive organs: cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, women over 40 are often at higher risk for ovarian and uterine cancer, but HPV is also a leading risk factor for all females. The human papillomavirus (HPV), a common virus that can be passed from one person to another during sex, is the main cause of cervical cancer and also causes many vaginal and vulvar cancers. Additionally, it is important to keep up with yearly exams because every 6 out of 10 cervical cancers occur in women who have never received a Pap test or have not been tested in the past five years. “Planned Parenthood prides itself on serving women of all ages for their varying needs,” says Paula Gianino, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region. “We encourage women to educate themselves and to take control of their sexual health with preventative screenings.” Planned Parenthood offers gynecological exams, cancer screenings, birth control services, as well as the HPV vaccine for females from 9 to 26 years old. Learn more about prevention at www.plannedparenthood.org/stlouis, or call 1.800.230.PLAN to schedule an appointment for any well-woman needs at one of the six health centers.

  • Public Overwhelmingly Supports Planned Parenthood
    Public Overwhelmingly Supports Planned Parenthood In the months since the latest attacks on Planned Parenthood launched, national polls have found broad deep support for the organization and its ability to provide health care services to millions of people – and the public has mobilized on behalf of Planned Parenthood. The public is largely aware of accusations about Planned Parenthood – and is not persuaded by them. Thirteen separate nationwide polls show strong favorability for Planned Parenthood and strong opposition to efforts in Congress to defund the organization, which would prevent low-income women from receiving health care at Planned Parenthood. These polls stem from the deep and longstanding relationship that many Americans have with Planned Parenthood, which is the nation’s leading provider of reproductive health care and sex education. For 99 years, women, men, and young people have relied on Planned Parenthood for birth control, lifesaving cancer screenings, safe abortion, and other high-quality health care. One in five women American women reports having been to Planned Parenthood for care in her lifetime. All thirteen national polls conducted in the wake of these attacks show strong support for Planned Parenthood and extraordinarily strong opposition to shutting down the government over Planned Parenthood federal funding. • A new poll from Associated Press-GfK found that 69% of those surveyed do not support forcing a government shutdown to block Planned Parenthood’s funding, and less than half of Republicans would entertain this idea. • A New York Times/CBS News Poll taken in the middle of the 2015 defund fight found that most Americans think Planned Parenthood should continue to receive government funding.
