In 1985, I was college student in Minneapolis, MN. Planned Parenthood was the only source that I was aware of that provided checkups and birth control on a sliding fee scale. I had no health insurance and would not have been able to afford yearly exams or the cost of birth control pills without Planned Parenthood. Everyone I knew at the time went to Planned Parenthood for affordable health care and birth control. Planned Parenthood needs to be fully funded to provide women across the country access to quality, affordable access to health care and family planning.
