Planned Parenthood Saved Me

Planned Parenthood is dedicated to women's health. We're posting stories from women whose lives were saved or changed because they had access to affordable healthcare like cancer screenings through Planned Parenthood.

A quick note, too-- we'd really love pictures of you holding up your stories, or just pictures of you that you'd like to include.

(Not affiliated with PP, by the way. We're just big fans. Questions? Get in touch with @deanna on Twitter.)

Planned Parenthood was there for backup

The stories of lives saved here make my story seem trivial.  I have adequate health care coverage and a wonderful doctor, but one day when I had was so uncomfortable I couldn’t sit (no ordinary yeast infection, this), my doctor’s assistant said there were no office appointments open for days, and then said “Why don’t you try Planned Parenthood right in town?”  So I went, and they were wonderful.   They ruled out scary stuff, and helped me deal with the discomfort until my doctor could see me.  I’m glad to know that PP is there for those of my neighbors who are underinsured or uninsured.
