Not something that ever occurred to me, tbh. PP has been off my radar for a long time. More story time: My only experience with them was when I was in high school and my partner's condom broke. I did some online researching and some calling around and determined I would have to go to PP. I was taking college classes instead of high school classes, so my days were free, and I drove the two hours to the nearest PP to get Plan B while my parents were at work. Based on my household (parents') income they determined that I had to pay the full price, which I did not have the money for. When I explained this, they graciously let me, the scared, teary-eyed teenager, have it for all the money in my wallet. The woman at the front desk had clearly had enough of my shit and shoved a bunch of condoms at me (like I deliberately had unprotected sex) and sent me on my way. She seemed very judgmental and lacking in empathy.
A few days later, the bill for the remainder of the cost cheerfully marked from "Planned Parenthood" arrived at my home, which resulted in a fun conversation with my parents. Overall I was displeased with my PP experience and the thought of going back there for anything never crossed my mind.
It should have, though. I wish I'd had the thought when I was running around uninsured. Hindsight.
