"The first right of a child [is] to be wanted, to be desired,
to be planned for with an intensity of love."
-- Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger
To advocate and provide individuals, families and organizations in our region with information, education and health care services pertaining to human sexuality and reproductive health in a private and confidential manner, respectful of all beliefs and values, supporting freedom of choice and individual responsibility.
- We believe in the right to sexual and reproductive self-determination that is non-coercive, non-exploitive, and responsible.
- We believe that the free and joyous expression of one’s own sexuality is central to being fully human.
- We believe in trusting individuals and providing them with the information they need to make well-informed decisions about sexuality, family planning, and childbearing.
- We believe that children flourish best in families and communities where they are nurtured, honored, and loved.
- We believe that every right is tied to responsibility and that the fulfillment of responsibility is itself a source of joy.
