How old does one have to be to acquire birth control pills at a planned parenthood clinic without parental concent?

It very much depends on where you are located. Usually doctors cannot share information with anyone outside of you, but if you are under the legal age of consent for sex, chances are they will have to.

My advice (and yes this is sneaky but works): Start claiming you get very bad cramps. If you're home and have your period, be barely able to move. Tell your parents you want to see the doctor to see if there is anything you can do about the horrible cramps. Once at the doctors, tell the same thing. They will most likely prescribe a birth control pill for you.

This way, your parents know, but the doctor suggested the pill to relieve the cramps (not you asking for the pill so you can be sexually active), so they more than likely will not be worried.

Does Planned Parenthood offer STD testing to a minor without parent consent?

What was the original purpose for planned parenthood?

To help poor people with birth control. The bigger the families the poorer they were and that made it impossible to get out of poverty. Margaret Sanger provided that along with sterilization. It made the women being in control more and they could plan their lives. That also led to that more children could go to school and get a education. it's the same thing Planned Parenthood does today all over the world along with services that did not exist then or was illegal back then.
