Celebrating 100 years of Planned Parenthood (CREDO Action)

This week, Planned Parenthood turned 100. What began as this country’s first birth control clinic in Brownsville, Brooklyn, is now a cornerstone of the American health care system. Planned Parenthood has 650 clinics across all 50 states. It provides health care to millions of women and men. It affirms a woman’s fundamental right to comprehensive reproductive health care.

And yet many GOP leaders, like vice presidential candidate Mike Pence, have made it their mission to defund Planned Parenthood. But they will have (and have had) to contend with the American public - the majority of which supports continued federal funding for the organization - as well as the many, many women who #StandWithPP. Because Planned Parenthood is an organization that radically transforms women’s lives.
