According to Families USA’s “Four Reasons Planned Parenthood is an Essential Health Care Provider,” four in ten of Planned Parenthood’s patients report that they are the only form of healthcare they receive 8. This shouldn’t come as a surprise since 78% of Planned Parenthood’s patients are at or below 150% of the federal poverty line 9. When my family and I decided that I needed birth control, we turned to Planned Parenthood because our insurance provider didn’t cover the cost of it. Not only were the people there friendly, they also made sure that there was nobody in my household that would stop me from taking my birth control. These kind of resources are necessary for young women like me, and for anybody who is in need of reproductive health services who couldn’t otherwise afford
