What Planned Parenthood does[edit]

Planned Parenthood not only helps with Abortion care and sexually transmitted diseases, but gender affirming care. This portion was missing in the introduction. 131.123.49.12 (talk) 20:25, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 10 February 2024[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

On paragraph 4, line 1 (PPFA is the largest single provider of reproductive health services and the largest single provider of abortion in the United States.), change "abortion" to "abortions". ThatOneWindowsFan (talk) 19:25, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not even mentioning the bias of Americans having access to this whole claiming they're a worldwide organization[edit]

Just seems dishonest 2604:3D09:D78:1000:B033:91C3:1448:A9B4 (talk) 02:16, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk-pages are for making concrete proposals for improvement, not for general discussion of the topic of the article. (But also you seem very confused, maybe you should read the article.) --JBL (talk) 17:59, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

International Affiliation[edit]

Based on the first paragraph, I think the International Planned Parenthood Federation should be mentioned in the Infobox. GamerKlim9716 (talk) 19:42, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
