Three things about Planned Parenthood Arizona that people might not know.

  1. Planned Parenthood offers unbiased, comprehensive programs for teens and parents – that convey accurate information from many different points of view – to help young people avoid the trauma of unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections.
  2. Planned Parenthood health centers are comfortable places to go for honest information and compassionate care. Services are convenient and affordable, and are covered by many insurance plans.
  3. Planned Parenthood has a tradition of protecting sexual health rights and defending the freedom of women. While we are firm in our positions and fierce in our arguments, we strive to always be respectful of all.
