In the North American context, "maternity care" would probably be understood as midwifery, which is not Planned Parenthood's main vocation.

That said, you're correct that Planned Parenthood offers many more services than just abortion, but the category they'd be in is "sexual and reproductive healthcare," not "maternity care."

Many advocates are pushing for "abortion forward" language to de-stigmatize the procedure, and (at least in Canada) some clinics are opting for less euphemistic names.[0]
