Who We Are
At each Planned Parenthood affiliate, one will always find people for whom no cause is more important. They are convinced that no perfect world could even be imagined until children have a reasonable chance of being born into a welcoming and nurturing environment. They surely understand that when women have no control over their childbearing, legions of undernurtured children and defeated, devastated women are the inevitable consequence. --Jane Johnson, Former PPFA Interim Co-president
We believe that the survival of this planet depends on creating a world where women and men can manage their fertility with safety and dignity and in concert with their own cultural and religious backgrounds.
We believe that all people, including children and youth, have a right to be knowledgeable about their sexual choices and learn how to behave responsibly, guided by their own individual standards of morality.
We are an unrelenting champion of PREVENTION first and INTERVENTION second.
Margaret Sanger knew that although our movement could make strides to end sexual oppression and ignorance so that individuals could thrive, the forces of government and public policy would never act wisely unless we successfully engaged in the political domain. Our commitment to legislative advocacy remains faithful to Margaret Sanger's vision.
