Our Mission Statement

The purposes of the Family Planning Association of Maine are to assure that the people of Maine, regardless of age, sex, national origin, creed, economic status or sexual orientation, have:

. . .comprehensive, cost effective, high quality family planning clinical services and information;

. . .sexuality education, training and resources to prevent unintended pregnancies and to foster healthy and responsible decision making by individuals and families;

. . .continued rights to privacy and free choice in all matters relating to reproductive health and sexuality.

Statement of Purpose

We believe:

All Maine people should have the means and information to control the number and timing of their children regardless of their ability to pay or place of residence.

Our medical services must be complemented by counseling and education services.

A system of laws and education should exist to support prevention of an unintended pregnancy.

Laws should not interfere with an individual's right to decide what option they may choose in the event of an unintended pregnancy.

The community at large should be educated about the need for family planning services and educational programs.

The people who control the State’s resources must know what we do and how it meets the needs of their constituencies.

It is one of our primary purposes to prevent abortion by preventing unintended pregnancies.
