Planned Parenthood Affiliates of New Jersey is the statewide public affairs office of Planned Parenthood. Our role is to enhance the ability of the five Planned Parenthood affiliates in NJ to protect reproductive freedom, and to insure access to reproductive health care to all New Jerseyans, regardless of individual circumstance.
Collectively, we operate 30 health centers around the state that provide high-quality, affordable medical care to approximately 76,000 patients each year. These services include comprehensive gynecological care, birth control services, pregnancy testing, first-trimester abortion, STD testing and treatment, pre-natal care, primary care and cancer screenings. Since not all services are available at each location, its best to check before making an appointment. In addition, each of our agencies employs trained educators who conduct extensive community outreach and educational programs, offering comprehensive, age-appropriate sex education and health programs to thousands of New Jersey residents every year. We welcome everyone regardless of race, age, income, sexual orientation, or disability. Our fees are based on the ability to pay and no one is turned away.
WE SPEAK OUT! What many people dont know, however, is that Planned Parenthood also conducts an active advocacy program in the New Jersey Legislature and in the United States Congress, including grassroots organizing and media outreach. Why do we do this? Because your ability to make reproductive choices and get the full range of reproductive health care is in serious danger. Right now, there are bills pending on both the state and federal level that would seriously limit your freedom of choice. Planned Parenthood is working hard to guarantee reproductive rights. However, we cant do it without you.
