VoFF condemns the reckless decision to attempt to defund Planned Parenthood. This unconstitutional decision will have chilling effects on the health & safety of countless patients across the nation. We stand firm in our belief that government overreach has no place in personal healthcare decisions.

Here’s why the “exceptions” in Florida’s abortion ban laws don’t actually help those they claim to. #AbortionIsHealthcare #ReproductiveRights

Each year, around 800,000 people take their own lives worldwide. In the United States, suicide is one of the leading causes of death. Over 49,000 people died by suicide in the US in 2023. That is one death every eleven minutes.
