Planned Parenthood

All Planned Parenthood offices provide access to the morning after pill. Some offer it for free, all offer it on a sliding scale to their patients. In our area, Planned Parenthood provides free levonorgestrel morning after pills through a grant to their established patients, male and female, age 17 and over, and offers it at $25 for nonpatients. In addition, some patients have health insurance that covers over-the-counter medications, and they can get the morning after pill at their pharmacy at no cost with a note from the health care provider at Planned Parenthood. Call your local PP office to find out what programs they have for providing affordable contraception. See related link to access information on your nearest PP health center.

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.

Yes, the law says a minor can get STD-testing, pregnancy testing and prenatal care without parents consent.

Yes; many have taken their children out of the girl scouts for this reason.

they don't usually "give them out" but you can go to your local health department for a urine test just about anytime you think you may be pregant. most are free but sometimes it depends on the persons income.

Pregnancy centers offer pregnancy and often STI testing for free to anyone, regardless of income, and also help with material needs if you are pregnant, parenting classes, adoption assistance, and usually ultrasounds. Go to optionline.org, call 1-800-712-HELP, or text "HELPLINE" to 313131 to find a pregnancy center near you.

None. By law, the federal funding PPL gets can not be used for abortions. It's been like that since the 70's.

As with any health care provider, they can do so if the patient has expressly given permission for results to be released over the phone.

Free condoms are available from some health care providers and clinics. Planned Parenthood provides free condoms for its patients and have clinics across the United States and Canada. Additionally, many college health clinics provide free condoms.

Many do. It's a common requirement for companies who need to buy business insurance.

Surgical abortions are usually only allowed in hospitals acc to state laws. But all PPL are different and not all perform abortions but I don't think they do it.You really need to call the clinic you are going to and ask.

most pharmacies carry and dispense the Plan B or morning after pill. You have to be 18 years old to get it. It cost from 38 to 50 dollars. planned parenthood offices have the plan b pill also. It's actually 2 pills. take 1 then 12 hours later take the other pill

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.

Planned Parenthood offers all FDA-approved birth control methods. Some methods, like tubal ligation or Essure, may not be offered at all health centers. Methods includes pills, ring, patch, condoms, spermicide, diaphragm, cervical cap, intrauterine device, and contraceptive implant. In addition, Planned Parenthood offers emergency contraception (the morning after pill) and information on natural family planning methods.

Federal law prohibits federal funds including Medicaid funds, from being used to pay for an elective abortion. In cases of rape, incest and saving a woman's life though they do. But they have never done it for abortions on demand. That has never changed which is why funding abortions is wrong reason to defund PPL since they don't do that.

It was started in 1916 under Mary Ware Dennett and was called the National Birth Control League, although Margaret Sanger is usually the one credited with founding of Planned Parenthood. Then when Margaret Sanger took over the name was changed to American Birth Control League. In 1942 the center changed its' name to its' current name Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc.

You can go to Planned Parenthood anywhere and not have to have a parent with you. Teens can come in without parents permission and everything is confidential. The only time they need parents is if they are getting an abortion. State law requires a parent signature on the paperwork.

That must depend on which one you mean. See related link below on how to contact them.

1,2 million women and teens have abortions in the US every year in different clinics and hospitals. Some PPL clinics perform abortions and others refer to a doctor who can. How many they perform they will not reveal. Out of the clinics that performed abortions 3% of everything they did was abortions. But they did help prevent about 621,000 unintended pregnancies.

Planned parenthood does not perform mammograms but they do refer low income women to centers that do, and they provide funding on a sliding scale basis to these women.

The answer depends on your location, income, and the medication. Access to low cost medication is restricted by federal law. Contact your local office for information specific to your situation.

Yes of course they do. Planned Parenthood is working with contraceptives so they are not giving out bad condoms.
