What´s Planned Parenthood?

One in three Texas women do not have a regular healthcare provider after defunding Planned Parenthood (Sullivan). Planned Parenthood was established on October 16, 1916, as an organization helping to prevent breast cancer, STI’s, diseases, and also give affordable contraceptives to its patients. Their mission is to help the men and women who have no healthcare because of the rising prices, by having a low-cost effective program. From political leaders to magazines, Planned Parenthood is portrayed to only have abortion services, which is only 3% of what they do.

They estimated preventing 516,000 unintended pregnancies by birth control, which is 34 percent of their services. They conduct 400,000 cervical cancer screenings and 500,000 breast examinations per year. There were four and a half million STI tests and treatments in 2013. Without Planned Parenthood many women and men would not found out about breast cancer, women may never have found out about their cervical cancer, and some women may have never know that being pregnant can kill her and her child. There are 2.7 million people in the United States that are alive from their services and are still using their healthcare. Also, millions of people could not have treated STI’s. Planned Parenthood is the reason millions of people are still alive
