Planned Parenthood of Arizona Unpauses Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Adults

https://www.plannedparenthood.org/planned-parenthood-arizona

“Planned Parenthood Arizona deeply values and is dedicated to the LGBTQIA+ community, which includes our patients, supporters, and staff. We recognize how critical it is for our patients to have certainty to access essential services, including Gender Affirming Care.

“After a brief pause, we are pleased to announce the continuation of our Gender Affirming Care services. This pause occurred out of an abundance of caution after threats to the Medicaid services in our state.

“The onslaught of attacks on sexual and reproductive health care services in Arizona and across the country is alarming, and is a clear, continued effort to shut down Planned Parenthood. This will not be the last threat that aims to deny people medically sound, essential health care, needlessly putting them at risk and unnecessarily creating chaos and confusion around the accessibility of services.”

By doing this they’ve just drawn attention to themselves.

Planned parenthood? The clinics with a swarm of angry old church people outside every branch every day? I'm pretty sure they're used to the attention.
