Original name

This organization was once called "Planned Parenthood-World Population". The origins and evolution of the name should be included in the article. 209.2.227.108 (talk) 19:58, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That is not accurate; but also a correct version of the statement is already in the article. --JBL (talk) 23:38, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox error

The Infobox is supposed to list the entire legal name of the organization. WiinterU (talk) 22:17, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What Planned Parenthood does

Planned Parenthood not only helps with Abortion care and sexually transmitted diseases, but gender affirming care. This portion was missing in the introduction. 131.123.49.12 (talk) 20:25, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not even mentioning the bias of Americans having access to this whole claiming they're a worldwide organization

Just seems dishonest 2604:3D09:D78:1000:B033:91C3:1448:A9B4 (talk) 02:16, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk-pages are for making concrete proposals for improvement, not for general discussion of the topic of the article. (But also you seem very confused, maybe you should read the article.) --JBL (talk) 17:59, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

International Affiliation

Based on the first paragraph, I think the International Planned Parenthood Federation should be mentioned in the Infobox. GamerKlim9716 (talk) 19:42, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
