Our sex ed program, Teen Advocates for Sexual Health, gathered at Planned Parenthood for a powerful meeting on taking action for sexual and reproductive health and rights. Through hands-on activities and real conversations, students dug into what it means to be an advocate for themselves and others.

β€œIn 2024, Missourians voted to enshrine their freedom to access reproductive health care, including abortion, into our state constitution. Abortion is safe, and as providers, we want it to be treated just like other forms of health care.” - Margot Riphagen, president and CEO of PPGR

Across the country, cuts to Medicaid have put care at risk for millions. Thankfully @govpritzker.illinois.gov leadership has ensured that nearly 3 million Illinoisans who rely on Medicaid can continue getting care at their local PP health center β€” regardless of insurance or ability to pay. 🩡

Gender-affirming care is health care. We believe all people and all Missourians should have the right to bodily autonomy, and that politicians have no place interfering with health care decisions between you and your medical provider. 🩷🀍🩡

A few weeks ago a patient came to us in pain with no appointment, and even though we were fully booked, our staff made sure she got the care she needed. πŸ’™ A couple of weeks later, she returned with this beautiful bouquet and card to say thank you.
