Planned parenthood helps protect and care for millions, every clinic helps hundreds of people and every clinic is important to the overall health and support of the people. We have a right to care, to education, to autonomy, and Planned parenthood is important to these rights.

L. supported: Protect Planned Parenthood Clinic from Closure in Petoskey

Regardless of politics I think we can all agree that Planned Parenthood has been beneficial for so many women and families for generations now. They offer more services than you’d expect including screenings for pregnancy, ultrasounds, check ups, and even birth control prescriptions. This organization has been more of a life saver than some pro- lifers can fathom. By closing this center, you’re leaving young women, and even adults vulnerable to the repercussions of these actions. Including those that may receive care through this organization on a regular basis. No one should have to fear, fight for, or travel hundreds of miles for the care they require. If this closes then what next? Your local hospital? School? Nursing home? Grocery store? Think about it.

Hi! Planned Parenthood-Petsokey,MI was very exceptional in terms of making the appointment and care during and after the appointment. Very informative on the birth control I was receiving and kind people. They are a resource that needs to stay for all women!!

My wife and boyfriend are both transgender individuals and I’ve witnessed them both struggle with body dysphoria. They need planned parenthood to continue their transitions into the people they were meant to be.

Amelia supported: Protect Planned Parenthood Clinic from Closure in Petoskey

I haven’t needed to use Planned Parenthood’s services since I was young, before I had health insurance. I am so grateful it remains in Petoskey as a resource, providing important care for young women and new families.

Jamie supported: Protect Planned Parenthood Clinic from Closure in Petoskey

Planned Parenthood saved my life, rural communities should have access to it too

Clara supported: Protect Planned Parenthood Clinic from Closure in Petoskey

Planned parenthood stepped in when I needed healthcare and was unable to afford anything else! Taking away this resource is detrimental to a community that is so far away from any other affordable options. Womens health isn’t just about abortion, it’s also in planning a family and doing so with care.

Alexis supported: Protect Planned Parenthood Clinic from Closure in Petoskey

This clinic is a necessity for people in northern michigan. the closest facility once this closes will be traverse city. not many have the money or time to be able to travel that distance, myself included. taking away this clinic will be a grave decision which will affect thousands of people. healthcare is already extremely limited in these parts of michigan, most low cost insurances do not cover a lot of care here. planned parenthood offered a variety of finical help ranging from donations, programs, payment plans, etc.

Haley supported: Protect Planned Parenthood Clinic from Closure in Petoskey

I believe in protecting the rights of women, trans individuals, and nonbinary individuals, as I am trans-nonbinary myself, and afab. If I was in your position, I would want people to support me. I want to make a difference in a world that is becoming increasingly hostile towards us. I won’t lie down and watch people lose what little we still have. I want to do something, no matter how small, in the hopes that it will make a difference

Alice supported: Protect Planned Parenthood Clinic from Closure in Petoskey

During my career providing women’s health care in Petoskey, we referred many many women with lower resources to PP for affordable quality health care. Where will they go now? Northern MI already lacks enough women’s health care providers. Closing Petoskey PP will reduce preventative health care access even further.
