Planned Parenthood of Illinois (PPIL) believes that reproductive self-determination, with effective sexuality education and access to family planning and related services, is necessary to enhance the quality of life, preserve individual opportunity and serve the interests of the family.
Based on this belief, PPIL's mission is to:
- Provide, or cause to be provided, effective reproductive health services, especially for those who do not have adequate resources in settings which preserve and protect the privacy, dignity and essential rights of the individual.
- Provide, or cause to be provided, education which ensures an understanding of sexuality and its implications for the individual, the family and society.
- Initiate, advocate and cause to be implemented, public and private policies which guarantee reproductive self-determination and the services and resources necessary to insure it.
