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 New Age Parenting mug.A couple who treat their dogs, cats or other animals as if they were children. Many of these couples are childless and the animals provide a substitute for babies.
My neighbors are constantly fussing over their two golden retrievers. They always talk about how they must take them on play dates with other dogs and feed them special dog food for their birthdays. That sounds like typical pet parents. pets, canine crazy, feline fanatic, animal lovers, pet-obsessed, dogs, cats, feline, canine

Don't mistakenly pity knocked-up teenage girls and mourn their "ruined chances at an amazing future". 10 times out of 10 teenage mothers are white trash or ghetto scum that were conceived as a result of their own mother's reckless sexcapades at age 16. The paramount of their life would have been a manager's position at Burger King. Now they'll never even accomplish that.
They will claim they used birth control every time prior to contracting pregnancy, but this is usually referring to a Catholic practice their Mexican boyfriend told them about that is known as the rhythm method. They are underage and poor so it is understandable that they did not have a car to drive to the free clinic and get condoms. However, it is ludicrous that these girls actually go through with the pregnancy as an abortion is easily conducted at home with a rusty wire coathanger.
The offspring of a teen parent is a bastard. In today's society this term is not spoken to the teen parent's face, but is still widely accepted for use behind their back.
You will never hear a plural form of this phrase, i.e. teen "parents".
