PLANNED PARENTHOOD

A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIR AND OUR PRESIDENT
The role of Planned Parenthood, as health care provider, educator,
and fi erce and compassionate advocate for reproductive health and
rights has never been more important.
The world is changing â in terms of demographics, politics,
health care delivery, and how information is transmitted. Planned
Parenthood must anticipate these changes to better serve our
patients, advocates, and supporters of tomorrow, while at the same
time we focus on their needs today.
Increasingly diverse communities across America have differing
health care needs, and we continue to adapt to help meet them.
This requires greater cultural competency on our part and staff
who refl ect our diverse clients. We also recognize that the key to
successful health care delivery is nationwide standardization â
from ensuring our clientsâ ability to reach us online to our ability
to track patients through electronic medical records.
As you will read in this yearâs report, we continue to reach more clients,
both in person and online. In the last year, our affi liate health centers
served 3.1 million women, men, and teens, providing the services that
people have come to rely on us for, including contraception (38 percent
of our total services), testing and treatment for sexually transmitted
diseases and infections (29 percent), cancer screening and prevention
(19 percent), and abortion services (three percent). We also provided
comprehensive, medically accurate sex education to an additional 1.2
million women, men, and teens.
As the world has moved online, so has Planned Parenthood. In the last
year, we expanded Planned Parenthood Online to create a reproductive
health care resource that is available to our clients 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. Approximately 1.25 million visitors a month come to www.
plannedparenthood.org and www.teenwire.com, to fi nd sexual health
information, locate a health center, renew a birth control prescription, or
connect to our advocacy network.
Our work also extends beyond our borders. Planned Parenthood provided
nearly $2.6 million in direct fi nancial assistance to partner organizations
throughout Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and Latin America, enabling them
to deliver health care and education to 585,000 people.
Our work as a health care provider and educator strengthens us every
day as a powerful advocate for the health and rights of women and
young people. Last year we continued to promote our Prevention First
policy agenda, with an increasing focus on ending the governmentâs
ineffective $1.5 billion abstinence-only effort. The tide is shifting in
America, and last year 10 governors refused federal abstinence-
only dollars. Common sense demands that we offer young people
comprehensive, medically accurate sex education, which covers
both abstinence and contraception. In addition, Planned Parenthood
continued to promote increased family planning support at the state
and federal levels, and increased access to affordable and accessible
birth control, fi ghting legislation that would allow pharmacists to refuse
to dispense birth control.
Weâve also worked in the nationâs courts, with our blue-ribbon litigation
team defending basic reproductive rights for women and families. For
the fi rst time ever, a Planned Parenthood attorney argued before the
U.S. Supreme Court, in
Gonzales v. Planned Parenthood
, making our
case against the federal abortion ban. When the court upheld the law
5â4, we immediately responded to the courtâs outrageous interference
in what should be a private decision between a woman and her doctor.
And as the 2008 elections draw near, we will continue to call attention
to the vital issue of womenâs reproductive rights and safety.
Thanks to the unwavering commitment and courage of Planned
Parenthood volunteers, activists, supporters, and staff, the past year
has been a time of great change and growth for Planned Parenthood.
As we confront new challenges and make additional gains, we hope
you will remain a steadfast ally in this fi ght.

Planned Parenthood health care experts are recognized
authorities in all aspects of reproductive health care, including
patient care, health care policy, education, research and
technology, and public information. Last year in collaboration
with the PPFA National Medical Committee of leading U.S.
doctors and researchers, we published new guidelines for the
medical management of menâs reproductive care, periodic
well-woman care, and care for transgender people as part
of our ongoing effort to support innovative, evidence-based
clinical services and health care. In partnership with academic
centers, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and state
departments of health, Planned Parenthood affiliates undertook
several research projects in an effort to continuously improve
health care and services, including research on emergency
contraception and medication abortion service delivery. We
developed two comprehensive medical continuing education
programs â âPutting risk into perspective: Making informed
decisions about hormonal contraceptionâ and âManaging HPV: A
new era in patient care.â
PPFA ensures the highest medical care and standards for our
clients by continuously monitoring affi liate compliance with
our rigorous medical standards and guidelines through our
accreditation process. Last year, to strengthen and improve
affi liatesâ clinic operations and education services, we made more
than 160 visits to 63 affi liates to provide technical assistance and
training in practice and fi nancial management, business planning,
human resource/organizational development and governance,
security, and diversity.
To protect the Planned Parenthood trademark and ensure affi liate
compliance with
PPFA Standards of Affi liation
and
the PPFA Manual
of Medical Standards and Guidelines
, we conducted 28 affi liate
accreditation reviews, including visits to 135 health centers.
Acknowledging creativity in clinical services, we presented the
2006 PPFA Sylvia Clark Award to Mt. Baker Planned Parenthood
(Bellingham, WA) for implementing a paperless electronic medical
record system in all three of its clinics.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD
ÂŽ
PROVIDING TRUSTED HEALTH CARE SERVICES
From the 450 women who crowded into Margaret Sangerâs fi rst clinic, the number of women, men, and teenagers Planned Parenthood affi liate
health centers serve has steadily grown to more than three million a year â totaling about 30 million since 1916. One in four American women
has turned to Planned Parenthood for health care at least once in her life.
EXCELLENCE IN MEDICAL STANDARDS AND TRAINING
Contraception is basic health care, and Planned Parenthood is
dedicated to providing women, men, and teens with the highest
quality and most affordable products in the face of rising prices and
dwindling government support.
The Resource Alliance at Planned Parenthood is a collaborative
effort between affi liates and the national organization that ensures
our clients, regardless of their incomes, have access to a broad
range of top-quality contraceptive products and exceptional health
care. The Resource Alliance negotiates and maintains 18 contracts
with partnering companies to enable Planned Parenthood clients
to continue to receive the highest quality products at the most
affordable prices. The Resource Alliance also has started phase
one of a project to provide a centralized information system for
affi liates, and continues to pursue affordable and reliable products
and services.
In line with our commitment to prevention and to superior products,
Planned Parenthood distributed approximately nine million Planned
Parenthood
ÂŽ
Condoms nationwide in the last 12 months. Promoting
the importance of safer sex, the package features the Planned
Parenthood name, as well as a dedicated toll-free âsmartâ line that
directs callers to the Planned Parenthood health center nearest
them. This smart line supplements our primary toll-free number â
1-800-230-PLAN â which connects hundreds of thousands of callers
to affi liate health centers each year.

Prevention is the cornerstone of our services â 81 percent
of our clients received contraception services in 2006.
The heart of Planned Parenthood affi liatesâ work is providing trusted
health care services that prevent unintended pregnancies through
contraception, reduce the spread of sexually transmitted infections
through testing and treatment, and prevent cervical and other
cancers through screening. Planned Parenthood health centers
also provide women facing unplanned pregnancy with unbiased
information and discussion about their options â parenting, adoption,
and abortion. Planned Parenthood health centers work closely with
social service and adoption agencies in their communities to ensure
the best possible referrals for women who choose to continue their
pregnancies. In 2006, Planned Parenthood health centers delivered
1.4 percent more contraception services than in 2005. Overall, our
health centers provided sexual and reproductive health care to more
than 3.1 million women and men, increasing by 2.6 percent the total
number of clients served between 2005 and 2006.

Planned Parenthood Online is a collaborative effort of the national
organization and participating affi liates to create the leading sexual
and reproductive health care resource available to people 24 hours
a day, seven days a week. Planned Parenthood Online promotes
Planned Parenthood health services, education, and opportunities for
involvement across a variety of interactive media platforms, including
⢠website properties (plannedparenthood.org
ÂŽ
and teenwire.com
ÂŽ
,
our award-winning website for teens)
⢠Web 2.0 (social-networking sites, user-generated content
sites, and blogs)
⢠e-mail (interactive campaigns and newsletters)
During the past year, Planned Parenthood Online reached a number
of important milestones, including
⢠a monthly high of one million unique visits on
plannedparenthood.org and 500,000 on teenwire.com
⢠an average of 10,000 searches per day on plannedparenthood.
org for locating health centers
⢠a list of 600,000 valid e-mail addresses
⢠a total of 35,000 social networking participants from websites
like MySpace and Facebook
With Planned Parenthood Online, our goal is to harness interactive
technology to overcome barriers to access, and provide an
opportunity to vastly increase the number of people Planned
Parenthood serves, educates, and engages to make a difference in
their lives.

EDUCATING WOMEN, TEENS, AND FAMILIES
Planned Parenthood serves as a leader in advancing sexual health by providing medically accurate, age-appropriate sexuality information and
education. Last year we offered effective sexuality education programs to 1.2 million youth and adults. Through our websites and award-winning
publications, Planned Parenthood delivers information that is essential to allowing women, men, teens, and families to make responsible choices
about their sexual and reproductive health.
ONLINE HEALTH INFORMATION AND EDUCATION: 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK

Planned Parenthood serves as a leader in promoting sexual health
among young people nationwide by providing medically accurate,
age-appropriate sexuality education. In addition to online resources
for teens, a range of programs at the national and affi liate levels
promote open dialogue, creative learning, mentoring, community
involvement, and peer education opportunities.
Real Life. Real Talk.
ÂŽ
is a social change effort to encourage healthy
communication about sexuality within families and communities and,
in the process, nurture discussions that are more realistic, positive,
and productive for young people. After talking with thousands of
parents, teenagers, and community leaders, Planned Parenthood
developed this program to give parents the tools they want to be able
to talk with their children about sexuality and health. The program
reaches out through 141 local community partners that do not
traditionally work with Planned Parenthood, including public libraries,
prominent medical institutions, and faith organizations. Last year,
we launched
Real Life. Real Talk.
in Portland, ME, Rockland County,
NY, and Tucson, AZ. Independent evaluations show positive results
in Portland and Tucson, demonstrating community-wide increases in
openness about, acceptance of, and engagement in healthy sexuality
after

was launched. We have secured funding
to expand programming to diverse markets and to improve the
knowledge and sexual health of all young people.
CONNECTING WITH TEENS
TEAMING UP
A collaboration between Planned Parenthood of Southwest and
Central Florida, the Sarasota County Health Department, and
the Truvine Missionary Baptist Church provided free teen clinical
services, parent and youth education programs, and community
awareness activities through the church. This multi-faceted
program built strong relationships between the affi liate and the
African-American community, and netted positive results, with no
participants testing positive for pregnancy or sexually transmitted
infections during or after their participation.
DEALING WITH DISABILITY
Staff from Planned Parenthood of Nebraska and Council Bluffs,
Iowa, taught sexual health courses to parents of youth with
developmental disabilities, as well as university special education
students and group home and vocational rehabilitation staff in

a variety of settings. Recognizing the challenges adults face in
addressing these issues, trainers offered pragmatic, concrete
guidelines for working with this vulnerable population.
HELPING TEEN MOTHERS
Planned Parenthood Mar Monte provided a supportive
environment for pregnant and parenting teens called Teen
Success. The program helps participants maintain family size
until they fi nish high school. Participants meet weekly
to learn skills to cope with the challenges of parenthood

helped defeat a similar ballot initiative, with the governor
praising Planned Parenthood for having the best field operation

We continued to fight attempts to restrict or ban abortion in
state legislatures. Mobilizing our grassroots base and promoting
prevention messages that highlight our opponentsâ hypocrisy, we
helped halt 20 abortion bans in 12 states.
We also hosted the Public Affairs Retreat and Roundtable in
Washington, DC. More than 150 Planned Parenthood affiliate
staff learned how effective legislative and organizing strategies
advance our priority issues.

ÂŽ
ADVANCING REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND RIGHTS
In Congress and in statehouses, in the courts, and in the media, Planned Parenthood is a passionate and trustworthy advocate for policies that
enable access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health care, education, and information. Whether talking to members of Congress
or arguing cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, we fi ght for positive policies that promote womenâs health, prevent unintended pregnancies
through effective family planning programs, and protect the health of young people through comprehensive sexuality education.
In Congress and in state legislatures last year, PPFA led advocacy
efforts to champion commonsense measures to improve the health
of women and families. After the 2006 elections, PPFA worked with
the new congressional leadership and our national coalition partners,
gradually refocusing the public debate on prevention and gaining the
support of a growing number of elected offi cials. We supported the
introduction of the federal Prevention First Act in the U.S. Senate and
the House of Representatives in the beginning of the 110th Congress,
as well as more than 100 proactive measures in 32 states.
Our efforts to promote prevention generated tangible results across
the nation, including the following:
⢠Ten states enacted family planning funding measures or
legislation to increase access through Medicaid waivers
(DE,HI, MA, MI, MN, NH, NY, TX, VA, and WA).
⢠In Congress last year, Planned Parenthood fought to expand access
to basic health care for low-income children and adults without health
insurance. The Senate passed the State Childrenâs Health Insurance
Program (SCHIP), and the House voted to support expanding SCHIP
through the Childrenâs Health and Medicare Protection Act (CHAMP).
President Bush vetoed the bill at the end of 2007, and the program
was extended without covering an additional 10 million children.
⢠Oregon joined 26 other states that mandate insurance coverage for
prescription contraception.
⢠Connecticut, Minnesota, and Oregon passed bills mandating
access to emergency contraception in hospital emergency rooms,
and Arkansas and Colorado now require emergency rooms to
provide emergency contraception related services.
⢠Ten states rejected federal funding for abstinence-only programs,
and Washington State passed the Healthy Youth Act, ensuring that
teens will receive comprehensive sex education in public schools.
On April 18, when the U.S. Supreme Court announced its
decision in
Gonzales v. Planned Parenthood
and
Gonzales v.
Carhart
, the two cases challenging the first-ever federal abortion
ban, we launched an aggressive advocacy and media campaign,
outlining why this ruling is out of touch with the basic values of
American voters.
In November, South Dakotaâs voters defeated a state abortion
ban ballot initiative, with Planned Parenthood staff and volunteers
having made more than 40,000 phone calls and knocked on
close to 30,000 doors. For the second year in a row, Planned
Parenthood affiliates in California helped defeat a ballot initiative
to restrict minorsâ access to abortion. Affiliates in Oregon also

, Planned
Parenthood mobilized nearly 35,000 young women and
men in 180 college chapters across the country. Using
MySpace.com (www.myspace.com/standwiththestates),
Vox
educated and energized nearly 5,000 supporters who
participated in activities and high-visibility events, primarily
in response to threats to abortion access.
Vox
members also
participated in Planned Parenthoodâs successful efforts to
defeat anti-choice ballot initiatives in California, Oregon,
and South Dakota.
â˘
Planned Parenthood Republicans for Choice
ÂŽ
(RFC) played
a vital advocacy role at both the federal and state levels. Last
year, we held house parties and other activities involving pro-
choice Republicans in at least 15 states, focusing on the Planned
Parenthood Prevention First agenda. The RFC presented its Barry
Goldwater Award to California Assemblyman Dr. Keith Richman
for his work as a 100-percent pro-choice legislator.
⢠More than 400 leaders in the arts and entertainment industries are
volunteer members of the
PPFA Board of Advocates
(BOA). Their
public support is an invaluable aid to Planned Parenthoodâs mission.
The successful mobilization of our activists to participate in ballot
initiative campaigns in California, Oregon, and South Dakota is an
example of Planned Parenthoodâs power as a 50-state advocacy
organization with more than four million activists, supporters, and
donors. The Planned Parenthood Action Network, which mobilizes
activists around the country in support of our goals, recruited more
than 200,000 new activists last year. Also aiding our advocacy
efforts are networks of pro-choice clergy members, Republican
activists, young women and men on college campuses, and leaders
in the arts and entertainment industries.
⢠Pharmacy refusals to provide emergency contraception (EC)
and other birth control to women are an increasing threat to
reproductive rights, and we continue to work with major retailers
to ensure favorable store policies. When the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration fi nally approved over-the-counter (OTC) sales
of EC in August 2006, we established the Planned Parenthood
Pill Patrol
to monitor pharmacies and ensure the availability of
contraceptives. A survey of local pharmacies by nearly 2,500
volunteers revealed that several Wal-Mart pharmacies had refused
to stock or to dispense EC. PPFAâs nationwide grassroots network
succeeded in convincing the giant retailer to revise its policy,
which, as of April, ensures that customers âwill now receive their
prescriptions or OTC products in store without discrimination (no
harassment or lectures),â âwithout delay,â and âwithout judgment.â
10
Planned Parenthoodâs advocacy work last year also extended to
the federal and state courts across the country, where we worked
to protect womenâs health and safety and the reproductive rights
of all Americans.
â˘
We
argued
Gonzales v. Planned Parenthood
, our challenge to
the fi rst federal law banning abortion, in the U.S. Supreme Court.
PPFA Deputy Director of Litigation and Law Eve Gartner, the fi rst
PPFA staff attorney to appear before the high court, argued that
the ban threatens womenâs health and safety. By a vote of 5â4,
the court upheld the law, criminalizing abortions that doctors
say are often the safest and best to protect womenâs health,
and ruling that politicians, rather than women and their doctors,
will now make medical decisions. This dangerous decision was
clearly the result of the new makeup of the Supreme Court.
PROTECTING WOMENâS LEGAL RIGHTS
⢠Members of our
Clergy Advisory Board
(CAB)
speak out about the theological basis for choice and
mobilize fellow clergy and lay religious leaders to join
the
PPFA Pro-Choice Religious Network
, a national
membership organization advocating for the right of women
and men to make informed, morally responsible choices
about their reproductive lives. Clergy members at the
affiliate level support grassroots advocacy efforts and
educational programming. Last year, CAB members issued
statements on stem cell research, the federal abortion ban,
birth control access and pricing, so-called âcrisis pregnancy
centers,â and comprehensive sex education. PPFA also
published the
Clergy Voices
newsletter; coordinated the
first-ever interfaith convocation at the Planned Parenthood
annual conference; hosted clergy organizing events at all
three Planned Parenthood regional meetings; and helped
affiliates build local clergy networks.
⢠We kicked off a new youth initiative last year with a
Young Leaders Summit
at the Planned Parenthood
annual conference attended by 51 young leaders from 13
states and the Philippines. They spent two days organizing,
training, networking, and brainstorming. Approximately 20
youths took part in a direct action training at the Public
Affairs Retreat and Roundtable in Washington, DC, in July.
PARTNERING WITH ACTIVISTS AND SUPPORTERS ACROSS AMERICA
⢠We conducted successful litigation in the Indiana state court to
protect the privacy of our patientsâ medical records. In that case,
we challenged intrusive demands made by politically motivated
anti-choice prosecutors. In granting the protection we sought,
the state court recognized the signifi cant privacy concerns
associated with our patientsâ medical records.
⢠We obtained favorable court rulings in two federal court cases â
in Michigan and Ohio â and one state court case in Missouri,
all of which protected access to reproductive health care for
Planned Parenthood patients.

the Caribbean, and Latin America in providing reproductive health
care and education to people around the world. We focus on reducing
maternal mortality through increased access to contraception and safe
abortion services, protecting the sexual health of youth, and improving
policies on sexual and reproductive health.
Last year, PPFA provided more than $2.6 million in direct fi nancial
assistance to 48 NGOs in 21 countries. These organizations
delivered reproductive health care to more than 450,000 people,
including approximately 243,000 adolescents. They also provided
safe abortion and post-abortion care to more than 20,000 women,
58 percent of whom decided to initiate birth control following the
procedure. In addition, our partners provided nearly 115,000 people
with sexuality education through schools, community centers, sports
events, and health fairs, and reached an additional 2.6 million people
with sexual health information through the radio.
Through our advocacy efforts in the United States, we engaged
affi liates, activists, and coalition partners to improve global laws and
policies affecting sexual and reproductive health. We also worked to
reinvigorate the U.S. commitment to family planning and to ensure
that U.S. foreign policies protect and promote quality sexual and
reproductive health care, education, and information around the
world. Nearly 90 percent of Planned Parenthood affi liates have been
active in international advocacy, bringing together a diverse and
vocal nationwide community of citizens to educate their neighbors,
the media, and their elected offi cials about the importance of
improving U.S. policies overseas. Last year, PPFA supported affi liate
activities through grants, organizing materials, sample media, and
assistance with organizing events.
PPFAâs advocacy efforts contributed to the passage in the
U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate Appropriations
Committee of a bill that would ease restrictions imposed by
the global gag rule. Reinstated by President Bush during his
first days in office, the gag rule prohibits foreign organizations
from receiving U.S. funding for family planning programs if
they provide or talk about abortion to clients, or advocate for
improved abortion laws. The rule applies even if organizations
conduct these activities with non-U.S. money and regardless of
whether abortion is legal in the country. Rather than reduce the
number of abortions, the global gag rule expands the shortage
of contraceptives in the developing world, thus increasing the
number of unintended pregnancies. The bill seeks to mitigate
the ruleâs impact by allowing foreign organizations to receive
contraceptives donated by the U.S. government even if they
have refused to sign on to the global gag rule.

PROMOTING GLOBAL HEALTH
Planned Parenthoodâs concern for reproductive health and freedom extends around the world. We work with partner organizations overseas to
improve the sexual health and well-being of individuals and families, and fi ght at home and abroad to secure responsible policies affecting sexual
and reproductive health globally. PPFA is also a founding member of the International Planned Parenthood Federation.

AFRICA
The PPFA Africa Regional Offi ce partnered with 15 organizations in
Cameroon, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, and the Sudan to provide health
care and sexuality education. In Ethiopia, we initiated a partnership
that will enable a health and social service organization to become
one of the fi rst nongovernmental organizations providing legal
abortion services under the recently liberalized abortion laws. We
also expanded the work of the Kenya Reproductive Health and Rights
Alliance (RHRA), which advocates for an improved legal, social, and
political environment for the provision of safe abortion services. The
RHRA held the fi rst-ever mock abortion tribunal in Kenya in June to
highlight the devastating effects of unsafe abortion in the country.
ASIA
The PPFA Asia Pacifi c Regional Offi ce partnered with 12
organizations in India, Nepal, the Philippines, and Thailand to
provide reproductive health services and education. In India, we
are working to address the enormous need for reproductive health
services for young people through a program that provides sexuality
education, contraceptives, sexually transmitted infection testing,
and safe abortion services. The program, which targets single and
married adolescents, trains them to provide culturally appropriate
education and services to their peers through unique venues, such
as traditional ceremonies.
LATIN AMERICA
The PPFA Latin America and Caribbean Regional Offi ce partnered
with 18 organizations in Bolivia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala,
Nicaragua, Peru, and Trinidad and Tobago to provide reproductive
health services and education and to advocate for better laws and
policies. In Peru, unsafe abortion is among the top fi ve causes
of maternal mortality, and more than 352,000 unsafe abortions
are reportedly performed each year. In order to address this,
we are engaging a number of womenâs health organizations and
reproductive health providers to expand access to high-quality
services, counseling, and educational materials. We also support
Peruvian womenâs rights organizations in their campaign to increase
the number of public facilities offering safe, legal abortion services.

PLANNED PARENTHOOD
ÂŽ
Founded by Margaret Sanger in 1916 â more than 90 years ago â
as Americaâs fi rst birth control clinic, Planned Parenthood believes that
everyone has the right to choose when or whether to have a child, that
every child should be wanted and loved, and that women should be in
charge of their destinies.
MISSION STATEMENT
Planned Parenthood believes in the fundamental right of each individual, throughout the world, to manage
his or her fertility, regardless of the individual's income, marital status, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age,
national origin, or residence. We believe that respect and value for diversity in all aspects of our organization
are essential to our well-being. We believe that reproductive self-determination must be voluntary and
preserve the individual's right to privacy. We further believe that such self-determination will contribute to
an enhancement of the quality of life, strong family relationships, and population stability.
Based on these beliefs, and refl ecting the diverse communities within which we operate, the mission of
Planned Parenthood is
⢠to provide comprehensive reproductive and complementary health care services in settings which
preserve and protect the essential privacy and rights of each individual
⢠to advocate public policies which guarantee these rights and ensure access to such services
⢠to provide educational programs which enhance understanding of individual and societal implications
of human sexuality
⢠to promote research and the advancement of technology in reproductive health care and encourage
understanding of their inherent bioethical, behavioral, and social implications.
