Planned Parenthood Responds to DHVANI Campaign

Statement from Melanie Newman, SVP of Planned Parenthood Federation of America:

“Planned Parenthood does not endorse this campaign, nor will we be accepting funds raised by this campaign. Our staff members have faced threats and acts of violence for doing their jobs, and many of our patients turn to us as their safe space for care after facing violence in their lives. We do not condone violence or violent imagery against anyone.”
