Do you have to be a teenager to get help from Planned Parenthood? Will they accept pregnant women who are college aged? Thanks!

Any woman ANY age can get help from Planned Parenthood.
I bought pills there for a long time.
1-800-230-PLAN
(Also I can't speak for America because frankly I just can't be bothered to keep up on American statistics but Planned Parenthood in Ontario does not preform abortions, though they will refer you for one at your request. I have never gotten anything but unbiased info from them even when I was a teen and had a condom break, they didn't even mention abortion -though luckily I didn't get pregnant). Some of their clinics are better than others in terms of friendliness and wait times but that is about it.
Blaming Planned Parenthood for the failures in birth control methods that are available is just silly)

Planned Parenthood is for women of all ages, some clinics do perform abortions while others do not but will refer you to obtain abortion services, if you so desire, they aren't going to make you have one, however, and Planned Parenthood isn't only about abortion, but if you are really against abortion you may want to see if there are other free or income-based clinics available to you. Also you said that you are college-aged, if you do attend a school you could contact your health services department, if there is one, for further help.

Planned Parenthood is part of the abortion industry. Go to a Pregnancy Resource Center, which you can find on the optionline website. They will help you find resources to care for your baby as well as help with adoption. I am adopted and highly recommend it, i'm thankful my parents made the adoption choice.

Oh, yes absolutely they will accept you and you do not have to be a Teenager. It's one of those Clinics actually which does not turn down Women who are in need of prenatal care,
or need an abortion, and have gynecological issues.
They also offer free counseling and will help you with the best payment plan that is good for you if you do not have any insurance.

I can't recommend Planned Parenthood at all. They perform 20 percent of the abortions in this country. Why give your support to the nation's largest abortion provider when there are so many other options for women?
There are other more ethical ways to get help. A Crisis Pregnancy Center is your best bet if you are pregnant. And it's free. For other womens health issues you can go to a free clinic or the health department or go to an OB that accepts government insurance plans.
Most of the women who come to Planned Parenthood for abortions are the same women who got birth control from a Planned Parenthood clinic and then the birth control failed b/c of improper use or breakthrough ovulation.

Depending on your income you may have to pay a small amount for their services, but they will help women of any age.
