Planned Parenthood of Michigan

The harrowing experience of being pregnant in post-Roe America Ali Velshi reports on the dangers of being pregnant in post-Roe America and how strict abortion laws are costing women their lives.

Ciji Graham deserved care. Instead, she was sent home without treatment for a life-threatening heart condition. She died days later.

Ciji's death was preventable — but when so-called "exceptions" are vague, providers hesitate, care gets delayed, and patients pay the price.

STIs don’t always show symptoms, so you may not know you have one. Regular tests help keep you and your partners healthy. It’s quick, easy, and worth it. Make an appointment to get tested at PPMI.org so you can stress less about STIs and focus more on fun. 😉

We’re grateful for this community that shows up with love — for our patients, our communities, and for Planned Parenthood. 💗

#Abortion is lifesaving health care. 🩷

Planned Parenthood offers vasectomies in Michigan as abortion access drops - Bridge Michigan The organization is seeing rising demand for ‘permanent birth control’ in the years following the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn national abortion rights.

“There are patients in the state of Michigan whose only option has been being on a long wait list for a hospital-based procedure six to eight months from now. We are offering access to folks who want #vasectomy and also likely need reasonably priced care.” — Dr. Kate Starr, CMO at PPMI

At Planned Parenthood, our compassionate, trusted staff is here when you need us to provide you with the reproductive care and accurate information you deserve. Book your appointment online at PPMI.org or call 800-230-7526 (PLAN).

Planned Parenthood of Michigan was forced to shutter three clinics in 2025 ‘When you eliminate Medicaid reimbursements for Planned Parenthood, for reproductive health care, you're cutting off the patients who need us most,’ said Paula Thornton Greear, CEO of Planned Parentho...

"When you elect leaders who campaign on defunding Planned Parenthood, this is what happens. Health centers close, patients lose access, and the people with the fewest resources bear the greatest burden. And we’re going to fight against it." – Paula Thornton Greear, President & CEO

Trans youth deserve safety, dignity, and the freedom to be themselves. As attacks on gender-affirming care for young people continue, we remain committed to protecting trans youth and supporting the evidence-based care that helps them thrive. 🏳️‍⚧️💗

Fewer characters on TV had abortions this year — and more stories reinforced shame Researchers at the University of California San Francisco track how abortion comes up on television. They say the trends from 2025 are concerning.

Media representation matters because it shapes our understanding of how people access care and the barriers they face. When stories fall short, stigma fills the gap — and real people pay the price.

The federal “defund” of Planned Parenthood is a HUGE threat to reproductive care right here in Michigan. We need your help, and today is the perfect moment.

Make your Giving Tuesday gift to PPMI at MichiganChoice.org, to help ensure patients can get the care they need and deserve — no matter what.💙

GOP Wants to Mandate “Fetal Development Education.” It’s Anti-Abortion Nonsense. Republicans can’t seem to convince adults to vote against abortion, so they’re trying to brainwash kids instead.

"If abortion opponents really wanted the nation’s children to be properly educated about anatomy and biology, they wouldn’t be opposed to comprehensive sex education. They wouldn’t be attacking transgender youth and eradicating their access to health care..."

As the Trump administration's attack on medical science continues to put the lives of every American at greater risk, let this be a reminder of why the opinions of politicians don't belong in our private medical decisions.

Your mental health matters as much as your physical health. Today and every day, remember to check in with yourself and the people you care about. 💕 #WorldMentalHealthDay

Abortion is freedom inside a red heart on a striped background.

It’s the freedom to make your own decisions about your body, your future, and your family – without politicians interfering. We won’t stop fighting until abortion care is available, affordable, and accessible for all.

Multi colored text graphic that states "No one should lose their rights or control over their own body just because they're pregnant.

Fetal personhood laws take away pregnant people's rights, ban abortion, and threaten IVF. They give an embryo, fetus, or fertilized egg the same legal protections as an actual living person, and prioritize the fetus over the pregnant person. It's not about safety or protection — it's about control.💯

Don't get duped by fake clinics! Pregnancy resource centers, aka crisis pregnancy centers, are not real health care providers.

You deserve honest information to help you make the best decision for your body and your future. Use abortionfinder.org to ensure you're connecting with a real provider.

Everyone deserves access to high-quality, affordable health care — no matter who they are, where they live, how much money they make, or their immigration status. 💚 💯

The fights for abortion, birth control, and gender-affirming care are all connected by the same belief that everyone deserves the power to control their own bodies and decide their own futures. Our movement is stronger when we work together. 🤝💗🌈

Gov. Whitmer reaffirms EMTALA protections for pregnant women Earlier this month, the federal administration rescinded guidance covering pregnant women under EMTALA. Whitmer says it's still in effect in Michigan.
