Abortion
It is the policy of Planned Parenthood Federation of America to ensure
that women have the right to seek and obtain medically safe, legal abortions
under dignified conditions and at reasonable cost.
Abortion must always be a matter of personal choice. Planned Parenthood recognizes its responsibility to guard equally against coercion or denial of services in connection with a patient's decision about continuing a pregnancy. No one should be denied abortion services solely because of age, or economic or social circumstances. Public funds should be made available to subsidize the cost of abortion services for those who choose abortion but cannot afford it.
Planned Parenthood has the responsibility to provide access to high quality, confidential abortion services directly through the affiliates' own medical facilities and/or indirectly through referral to other competent medical facilities in the community, especially in areas of unmet need for abortion services.
Adolescent Services
Planned Parenthood opposes any limitation or restriction on the access
of adolescents to confidential reproductive health services, including
contraception and abortion.
