The Society of Family Planning (SFP) is an international non-profit[1] professional organization established in 2005 specializing in "abortion and contraception science"[2][3] composed of physicians, nurses, sociologists, public health practitioners and trainees in these fields.

While the Society's scope has expanded, it has continued to provide significant research support, funding over $2.6 million dollars in grants in 2019.

SFP's Complex Family Planning Council partners with ABOG to provide programmatic oversight of the fellowship.

[25][18] Together with other medical and reproductive health organizations, the Society of Family Planning filed amicus briefs in Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby,[26][27] later Burwell v. Hobby Lobby,[28] to support increased access to the full range of contraceptive methods approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.

In her dissenting opinion, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg highlighted the importance of contraception to women in whom pregnancy may pose life-threatening risk and non-contraceptive benefits including cancer prevention and treatment of menstrual disorders and pelvic pain.

[31][32][33] The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and Society of Family Planning jointly developed clinical guidance on medical abortion up to 70 days' gestation.

[35] After a workshop entitled "Reproductive Services for Women at High Risk for Maternal Mortality", ACOG, SFP, Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM), and the Fellowship in Family Planning, now known as the Fellowship in Complex Family Planning,[17] issued an executive summary[36] and consensus statement[37] regarding assessment, counseling, and training on reproductive health services for women at high risk for maternal morbidity and mortality.
