Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California

PPAC’s worked to successfully enact legislation that:
* secured a Medi-Cal reimbursement rate increase for family planning services. 
* restored family planning funds when they were line item-vetoed by Gov. George Deukmejian.
* made it a crime to block access to a health facility.
* protects Californians’ fundamental right to choose a safe and legal abortion even if the federal government reduces protections under Roe v. Wade.
* required employer health plans include contraceptives as part of the benefit package (the Contraceptive Equity Act).
* ensured that students who receive sex education in schools receive accurate information on abstinence, human sexuality, contraception, pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases in an age-appropriate manner.
* allowed pharmacists to dispense emergency contraception under statewide protocol approved by the Medical Board of California and the Board of Pharmacy.
