Pasadena Planned Parenthood President Thanks Neighbors for Support During Protest

Last weekend, I was genuinely touched by the deeply felt support shown to Planned Parenthood by our neighbors in Pasadena.

When a group of anti-abortion protesters showed up in front of our Pasadena health center with the intent to disrupt care and intimidate our patients and staff, many of you, our neighbors, came by to stand strong with Planned Parenthood and the women and men who access our reproductive health care services.

I am immensely thankful for our neighbors and other members of the community who told us what a valuable neighbor Planned Parenthood is and has been for decades. Many of you asked how you could get involved — I encourage you to join our team as a part of the broad community of Planned Parenthood supporters. Please visit www.pppsgv.org to find out how you can get more involved or shoot us a quick email at info@pppsgv.org.

I’m grateful for those who recognize the current fraud being perpetuated against Planned Parenthood for what it is — part of a long-standing strategy of attacks invented to restrict access to reproductive health care. Planned Parenthood operates under the highest ethical and medical guidelines and fully complies with all state and federal laws. Because of your support, we’ve provided high-quality, compassionate health care in this community for 82 years and I can confidently state that’s not changing.
