An NGO that mostly gives educational information to people. They are a source for the pill, other contraceptives, Plan B aka emergency contraception, STI testing, HIV testing and counseling, pregnancy testing and counseling, abortion care. The organization's main principle is that every person has the right to decide when they are going to have children, how many they want them, and they believe that the best way to do accomplish this is age-appropriate, comprehensive sex ed including abstinence and information on protection should one choose to become sexually active. They are pro-choice and work through a large volunteer base to ensure that reproductive freedoms are not impinged on.
Planned Parenthood speakers came to my school today and taught us that people can get STIs from oral sex.
The Planned Parenthood people gave us a talk about sexual responsibility.
I went to Planned Parenthood to get tested. I was on the pill and I've only been sleeping with my boyfriend of 6 months. I didn't know that I should we both should have gotten tested before giving up condoms. They weren't judgmental and they treated me really well.
I went to the ER after one of my classmates raped me. They didn't tell me about emergency contraception. I found out I was pregnant a month later and I got abortion care from Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood is trying to reduce the rates of teen pregnancy, STIs and abortions in the US. Currently, we have the HIGHEST rate of all three in comparison to any other other Western/developed country. I don't know why people aren't doing more to advocate responsible choices.

Get the Planned Parenthood mug.A pro-women organization founded in the 60's.
Contrary to popular belief, Planned Parenthood offers services such as breast-cancer screenings, STD screenings, general gynecology appointments, pregnancy testing, genetic counseling, and rape counseling.
So in reality, "pro-lifers" who picket outside of PP clinics shoving propaganda into the hands of many and yelling "you're going to hell" are often preaching to girls who are getting a mammogram, not an abortion.
PP writes referals to abortion clinics, and this is only done after ALL other options are discussed with the patient.
Most clinics do not administer abortions, but rather refer the patient to a safe clinic.
They make medical services cheap and affordable to women in need.

In philidelphia a Planned Parenthood clinic was having a problem with 'pro-life' groups harassing patients. They ran a program called Pledge-a-picket in which people would pledge an amount of money for every protester that month. All proceeds benefitted planned parenthood. When "pro-life"rs found this out, they left.

Get the Planned Parenthood mug.Related Words
a place that acknowledges women's right to control their own bodies and lives and give unbiased information unlike the pro-life who promotes ineffective abstinence-only education, puts women's health in jeopardy, spreads lies, and secretly hates independent, working women
I got accurate information about my options at Planned Parenthood unlike the time when I went to that bullshit Pregnancy Crisis Center.

Get the planned parenthood mug.Plainedge. Glorious fucking Plainedge.
Plainedge is, hands down, the shittiest town in the United States. Not because it's dangerous or poor; shit no, there's enough rich white people that if they pooled all their money they'd feed all of Africa for like 50 years. No, Plainedge is shitty because there's absolutely dick to do. At ALL times. You know how most towns have at least one distinguishing characteristic or place that kicks ass that no one else has?
Yeah, Plainedge doesn't have one of those.
The closest thing to a 'landmark' in Plainedge is fucking Harmon's, a shitty little convenience store that all the freshmen and sophomores smoke tons of weed and become alcoholics behind. It always smells like shit because of how much everyone pisses and throws up behind it, but goddamn if everyone isn't there.
If you're not behind Harmon's, you're either hanging out at the High School, Packard, Schwarting, Eastplain or West. At these locations, you have a choice of 3 exciting activities; Drinking, Smoking Weed, or taking care of your friends that are about to fall over dead from too much of the previous 2 choices. That's it. That's all there is to do in Plainedge. Weed and Alcohol. All day. Every day. FOREVER. Get fucked up, go home, and play Halo/jack off/fuck your girlfriend or boyfriend/whatthefuckEVER.
There are no positive aspects of Plainedge. I mean, seriously, where the fuck do people die of heroin overdoses (RIP Natalie) besides motherfucking PLAINEDGE?
Plainedge is a shit town, and you're a dumbass if you think otherwise.
But I'm pretty sure everyone in Plainedge can agree that they'd never want to live anywhere else.

Get the Plainedge mug.A business strategy where a company plans the obsolescence of a product to encourage the purchase of a newer version of a product. This can be done in several ways, ranging from bad engineering to breaking updates. Apple most famously uses this strategy to slow down iPhones and iPads of 1-2 generations back to encourage people to buy a new more expensive iPhone.
Person 1: "My iPhone is slow! I can't believe it, I have an iPhone 6 which is only 1 generation behind!!!"
Person 2: "Yeah, Apple slows down the iPhone a lot via updates to try and get you to buy a new one. That's called planned obsolescence."
