How does Birthright compare with Planned Parenthood?

Basically, Planned Parenthood provides abortions and birth control as well as serving as a general women's health clinic, while Birthright doesn't provide abortions or birth control, and has a focus of promoting alternatives to abortion Planned Parenthood is involved in lobbying for birth control, abortion rights, and health care funding, while Birthright and other centers don't do much of that. In terms of funding, I'm not sure, but I think Birthright is funded entirely by donations, while Planned Parenthood is funded mainly by donations, but about 1/3 of their funding comes from federal grants. I think that answers most of your questions
