Planned Parenthood Federation of America is an organization concerned mainly with voluntary family planning and reproductive health care. The federation, often called Planned Parenthood or PPFA, seeks to ensure that people have access to birth control and to medically safe and legal abortions. Every year, millions of people receive medical care or information from PPFA clinics in about 1,000 communities throughout the United States. PPFA is a member of the International Planned Parenthood Federation and supports family planning projects in many other countries.
