While the organization reported struggling to find certain standard supplies, such as medication and masks, due to increased demand and the temporary closure of Chinese pharmaceutical factories, few of its services have been halted.

 “Pregnancy-related care, especially abortion care, is essential and life-affirming, especially now, when there is so much insecurity around jobs and food and paychecks and childcare,” said Meera Shah, chief medical officer for Planned Parenthood in the New York City suburbs of Long Island, Westchester, and Rockland County, in an interview with Buzzfeed News Thursday.

Shah said she believes Planned Parenthood is, in fact, more important now than ever, as the COVID-19 virus is making people second-guess their desire to have children.

“With people having to stay home, not able to go to work, not getting paychecks, job insecurity, childcare insecurity,” she said, “people are really thinking hard about continuing their pregnancy right now. It feels scary for a lot of people.”

While Planned Parenthood has been forced to close or suspend services in some of its clinics in certain states, the organization remains for the most part in operation.

Far from limiting its services, in fact, Planned Parenthood is working harder than ever to ensure that its patients have access to its “sexual and reproductive health care,” Shah said.

The organization encouraged its patients Wednesday to make use of their new app, Planned Parenthood Direct, which connects the user to a provider who can supply them with birth control without the need to ever step foot outside their homes.

Planned Parenthood Direct is currently available in 28 states and in Washington, D.C.
