Planned Parenthood
Research by the Journal of Adolescent Health shows that when sex education is comprehensive, students feel more aware of their own reproductive health, make safer choices and have healthier outcomes. This results in fewer unplanned pregnancies and more protection against sexually transmitted diseases and infections which contributes to living a healthy and satisfied life. An unintended pregnancy is a risk factor for poor maternal mental health including perinatal depression, stress, and lower levels of psychological well-being and life satisfaction. Reproductive health, especially the teaching of it, is still very controversial in the United States. Planned Parenthood is a nonprofit organization that not only delivers a comprehensive sex education, but also provides vital reproductive health care as well to millions of women, men, and young people worldwide. This vital reproductive health care has helped to assist many in times of desperation and hopelessness.
