Neary-Pounds OpEd: I Am Planned Parenthood
I am Planned Parenthood
By KATE NEARY-POUNDS
“I am Planned Parenthood” is a mantra shared by the professionals with whom I am proud to work alongside every day in Tulsa. The mission and importance of the role this organization plays in our community was ingrained in me by my mother and grandmothers, as is the case with many of our loyal supporters.
It is a proud tradition for women and families who understand that access to health education, family planning health care and autonomy over one’s sexual health and fertility is a fundamental right.
It is also a crucial component to ensuring that every child is born with the best opportunity to have the happiest, healthiest and most productive life possible.
