What services does Planned Parenthood continue to provide in states where abortion has been banned?

Planned Parenthood continues to operate in states with abortion bans, providing essential healthcare services despite widespread erosion of women's healthcare access. As Lauren Leader points out, these regions face significant health care deserts where not just abortion care, but basic women's health services have been severely impacted. Many Americans are unaware that Planned Parenthood remains operational in these states, offering critical services that help fill gaps in women's healthcare infrastructure. Their continued presence is particularly vital in areas experiencing massive healthcare deterioration following abortion bans, addressing the broader healthcare needs that extend beyond reproductive services.
