We Don't Need Planned Parenthood
Planned Parenthood claims that women would lose access to low-cost healthcare if they were to stop receiving taxpayer funding. However, there are more than 10,500 taxpayer-funded community health centers that provide everything that Planned Parenthood provides for women and more, minus abortions.

Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and free Community Clinics are a BETTER option for women than Planned Parenthood.
-
They offer services to all persons regardless of the person’s ability to pay, and, unlike Planned Parenthood they provide comprehensive primary care services.
-
There are more than 13,000 FQHCs and community health care clinics across the United States. (Planned Parenthood only has 669 locations.)
-
In every Congressional bill that has been proposed to defund Planned Parenthood, legislators proposed redirectingmoney previously earmarked for Planned Parenthood to these FQHCs and community clinics so they can serve more.
