Earlier this week, the New York Times released an article highlighting the dangers of increases in funding to crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) while abortion clinics face mounting attempts to defund their efforts. When policymakers push to ‘replace’ Planned Parenthood with clinics that won’t provide the full scope of care people need, it’s everyday patients who lose access to essential services.

Affordable, medically-accurate reproductive health services matter. We're already seeing the devastating impacts of these attacks in our communities — just earlier this year, losing two family planning centers in Southwest Ohio. That's a gap crisis pregnancy centers are ill equipped to fill. That's why we're dedicated to protecting health care access for all.

While crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) devote resources to pushing their narrow ideological agenda on anyone who walks through their doors, Planned Parenthood ensures everyone has access to the care and information they need to make their own informed health care decisions.

You can always count on Planned Parenthood to fight for your care, and to speak out against the harmful policies and bad actors that block access from real, trusted providers.

The confirmed what we’ve been saying all along: crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) cannot replace Planned Parenthood health centers as a trusted health care provider.

Let us be clear – when Planned Parenthood health centers close, patients lose access to real, comprehensive health care – including contraception, cancer screenings and STI testing and treatment.

Most CPCs aren’t legitimate medical clinics, and use lies, shame and fear to manipulate patients at their most vulnerable moments.

When Planned Parenthood health centers are forced to close, patients don’t magically get care elsewhere. They lose access – full stop. Patients deserve better than deception – they deserve Planned Parenthood.

We might be biased, but we think it's a great sweater too! 💖 Shop knit sweaters, tees, and other goodies that support our mission here: ppswo.info/shop

Who knew a sweater could spread so much joy? This morning I made a quick stop at a coffee shop in Cincinnati before work. A woman approached me, beaming with excitement and asked, "Is that a Planned Parenthood sweater?" I practically screamed "YES" and made sure to point out all of the different birth control methods in the knit pattern. We shared some more conversation, then both went on our way.

It was only a brief interaction, but the joy it generated carried me through the entire day. Because that moment in the coffee shop reminded me how proud I am to be leading the mission here at Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio — to wake up every morning and work alongside some of the most dedicated and resilient people I have ever met.

This winter, consider donning your own Planned Parenthood sweater and experiencing the joy for yourself. Find knit sweaters, and other gifts, in the PPSWO marketplace: ppswo.info/shop

BRING THEM INSIDE! 🥶 Extreme temperatures of any kind can cause the material in condoms and dental dams to break down, which can lead to them tearing or breaking during s*xual activity. Our advice? Keep your barrier methods cozy and keep yourself protected against STIs all winter long.

As families across the nation prepare to celebrate tomorrow's holiday with elaborate meals, we know that many do not have equal access to food that is fresh, nutritious, or affordable. Our health starts with our nutrition — access to affordable and nutritious food, much like health care, should be a right not a privilege.

We're thankful for public servants who advocate for their communities and constituents. These funds will go directly to supporting the patients who need it most.

$1.5 million for healthcare is coming back to SW Ohio.

Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio had been waiting months for an IRS refund they were owed, and when the process stalled, they reached out to our office for help – and our casework team got it resolved. 🙏🏼💙
