Why We Care
Everyone deserves to live their healthiest lives, regardless of their age, income, insurance coverage, or zip code. We work for comprehensive sex education, protections for pregnant workers, and access to family planning providers like Planned Parenthood. We also raise awareness about the violence and harassment reproductive health care providers face.
Why It Matters

Passed since 2013 granting workplace accommodations to pregnant workers
2,467,633
Patients
Obtained contraception, STI testing, breast exams, and PAP smears at Planned Parenthood in 2014
11

Barriers to Acess
We work to ensure that everyone can live their healthiest lives no matter where they live.
We support the rights of our patients throughout their pregnancy. No one should have to choose between their job and a healthy pregnancy, which is why we fight for proactive legislation like the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act to protect pregnant patients in the workplace.
The current Congress wants to roll back the gains of the Affordable Care Act, leaving tens of millions of people without health insurance and countless others without adequate coverage. The AHCA would decimate Medicaid and other essential health programs, as well as defunding Planned Parenthood. Help us stop this bill.
Every day, doctors, nurses, counselors, administrators, security guards, and volunteers put their lives on the line to provide comprehensive reproductive health care. Eleven people have been murdered by antiabortion extremists including members of the PRH community like Dr. George Tiller. This campaign of terror—waged over decades against those of us who provide this critical care—is reprehensible and we are trying to end it.
