A Rhetorical Analysis

Improved Essays
President, I commend you on these matters, and I am not asking for retribution on this matter. I am asking for further, and harsher enforcement on these matters. Don’t be afraid to get tougher, the statistics show it can only get better from here. Should it not boggle the mind that citizens in the USA want rights for someone who we know nothing about, and could possibly hut us. Imagine the Kate Stinley case happening to hundreds of children nationwide. What a horrible imagery that would be, for us, as the American people. Think of this objectively. You are the president of the United States of America? Should your country not come first? Forgive me, Mr. President, but I believe this is a rhetorical question, the leader and head representative …show more content…
Just think, when our american veterans leave their service with nothing but the cold dirt, illegal immigrants who we know nothing about are being celebrated in our country. This absolute phenomena, my dearest President, is truly depressing, and I am sure you will agree. Another point on the population and the taxpayer’s dime, is abortion and Planned Parenthood. I understand your religious views are against abortion, and I do not support most abortions either. You and I share the same feelings, sir, however, Planned Parenthood has performed more than simply abortions. As a matter of fact, abortion only makes up a small percentage of Planned Parenthood’s capabilities. On PlannedParenthood.org, it states many of their services here; “Emergency Contraception (Morning-After Pill): Accidents happen. Emergency contraception is a safe way to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex. General Health Care: Seeing a nurse or doctor regularly can prevent illness, find problems that may need treatment, and help you stay healthy. HIV Services: HIV tests are quick and …show more content…
Pregnancy Testing & Services: Pregnancy is a big life event. We can help answer your questions, provide support, and make sure you get the care you need to stay healthy. STD Testing, Treatment & Vaccines: STDs are super common. But having safer sex, getting tested, and knowing your treatment options helps keep you (and your partner) healthy. Women's Services: Women can count on Planned Parenthood for essential health care like birth control, STD tests, pelvic exams, cancer screenings, and pregnancy-related services.” But if their own offers is not enough, which I can understand why, I want you to take a look at FactCheck.org. D’Angelo Gore has made the observation: “Congressional Republicans seeking to eliminate federal funding for Planned Parenthood have made versions of the claim that abortions make up 94 percent of the organization’s “pregnancy services.” One House member went even further, saying “94 percent of their business is abortion services.” But that misleading figure only counts certain direct services provided

    Planned Parenthood is a non-profit organization that provides reproductive health services. Each year, around 2.7 million women and men visit these health centers, providing them with contraceptives, advice on family planning, services like STI testings, cancer screening and so much more. The organization has received federal funding ever since 1970, but pro-life activists have been trying to petition federal and state governments to defund Planned Parenthood, arguing that the organization is killing many lives with the abortion services it provides to women. But in many cases, abortion is the only choice women have because they can not afford to provide a good life for the baby. Pro-life activists have been trying to convince the government…

    Planned Parenthood vs. Right-Wing Conservatives Planned Parenthood is a non-profit, government funded organization that provides mostly women’s health services (abortion, STD screening, birth control). Recently, a heavily edited video was released by the Center for Medical Progress that provides alleged evidence of the non-profit Planned Parenthood receiving “compensation” for aborted fetal tissue. Obviously, this video brought up concerns and much controversy between those in support of and against Planned Parenthood. Conservatives in Congress now believe Planned Parenthood no longer deserves government funding; however, Planned Parenthood provides useful and sometimes life-saving services to men and women, therefore demonstrates a pressing…

    Out of the numerous services that Planned Parenthood offers the public, only three percent of all of their procedures are abortions; meaning that ninety-seven percent of everything they do is basic health care and other medical services. Cecile Richards, the President of Planned Parenthood, lists the statistics in her article, Today, We Fight Back, “every year, 2.7 million people come through the doors of our health centers, a million people participate in our sex education programs, and 60 million people get health information and other resources from us online.” Since the Republicans who drafted this bill often focus on abortion, they completely ignore all of the good that Planned Parenthood does for the community. Getting into doctor’s offices can be incredibly long and hard process, as documented in Cecile Richards’ article; she talks about a woman that she met who, after her husband lost his job, lost their health insurance. After finding a lump on her breast, she only found two clinics that would take her on as a patient, but they had two-month long waiting lists, so she went to Planned Parenthood.…

    Planned Parenthood: To Fund, or Not to Fund? Planned Parenthood, an non-profit organization that provides contraceptives, family planning services, women’s healthcare, STI and STD screenings and treatments, cancer prevention and screening, and, yes, abortion services. Planned Parenthood is infamously known for administering abortions although, ironically enough, the organization is the largest preventer of unplanned pregnancies, and in turn abortions. A well-known magazine, The New Yorker addresses the topic of pregnancy rate decline stating, “There is an almost unending stream of data showing that the numbers of abortions and pregnant teen-agers in the U.S. are at their lowest levels in forty years.…

    Regardless of what your view on abortion is, the indisputable truth is that what planned parenthood is doing is very meaningful, and undoubtedly, lifesaving work. They administer essential health care services to 2.7 million women, men, and young people all across the country, the majority of which can not obtain medical assistance any other way. So defunding planned parenthood wouldn't mean defunding abortion it would means fighting against affordable healthcare. The organization is more than just an abortions clinic, women and men need planned parenthood and women have the right to their bodies and fighting planned parenthood would be to fight against that fundamental human right (BACHIOCHI). First of all, planned parenthood is more than…

    Contrary to popular belief, only 3% of Planned Parenthood facilities provide abortion services. There are roughly 10,933,675 procedures done a year at PP, and only 327,166 of those are abortions (Planned Parenthood : Services). Some will argue that ObamaCare provides the same services, however you have to qualify for it. Many people make just above the amount needed to qualify, therefore they have to buy their own insurance. Seeing as how insurance is costly, the people who make too much for ObamaCare do not make enough to afford individual insurance.…

    Conservatives and Pro-Life organizations have been trying to do something to cut government funding to Planned Parenthood, but have been unsuccessful so far. The new evidence that has been released about Planned Parenthood selling the body parts from every fetus they abort has many conservatives hoping something will finally be done to stop the government from funding 41% of Planned Parenthood’s annual revenue (O’Bannon). While many people believe Planned Parenthood’s services are a benefit to society, Planned Parenthood should not receive funding from the government because of the unethical services they provide and because they altered their abortion procedure in order to profit from selling the body parts of the fetus. The United States government should cut funding to Planned Parenthood because they have admitted to altering their abortion procedure in order to profit from selling the body parts of the fetuses they abort.…
