Founded by Margaret Sanger in 1916 as America’s first birth control clinic, Planned Parenthood believes that everyone has the right to choose when or whether to have a child, that every child should be wanted and loved, and that women should be in charge of their destinies. Planned Parenthood affiliates nationwide provide sexual and reproductive health care, education, and information to millions of women, men, and teens in the United States each year. Three and a half million Planned Parenthood activists and supporters also serve as advocates for sexual and reproductive rights.
In Florida, Planned Parenthood operates 27 health centers and provides a full range of health services to nearly 100,000 patients each year including; sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment, HIV testing, cancer screenings, pap smears, birth control counseling and provision, abortion services, and options counseling.

Who I'd like to meet: Women and men who are interested in receiving and/or protecting reproductive rights and ensuring that all Floridians have access to affordable sexual heath care and family planning services. Pro-choice activists, students interested in social/economic justice, pharmarcists that are ethical and provide all forms of birth control, teachers who know that sex education needs to be comprehensive and understands that it is unethical to withhold potentially life saving knowledge to Florida's teens. Women, and men who are not afraid to stand up and speak out!
