The new Planned Parenthood ad aims to change the conversation around its clinics by reminding viewers of the many services it offers. While many people associate the organization with women's reproductive health, this ad serves as a friendly reminder that its clinics offer so much more.
The ad begins with several women and a man talking about how busy their lives are and some of their hopes for the future, followed by a voiceover then states: "A lot of people go to Planned Parenthood for just one reason." Unexpectedly the women and man then offer up the wide variety of reasons they visit the clinic, with answers ranging from getting the flu shot to getting a breast exam.
Although simple, the Planned Parenthood ad does an excellent job of reminding viewers how important its services are to people across the country.
