There has been ongoing disagreements between the Republicans and Democrats in congress, on the issue of funding Planned Parenthood. Republicans have always strongly show that they are against abortion. Republicans associate Planned Parenthood as an organization that supports abortions and encourages young people to use abortion as a way to deal with unwanted pregnancies.

Therefore, increase abortions as well. When congress defunds planned parenthood, it is essential to understand the rippling affect that will happen when a service is taken away. Under the circumstances of funds being taken away, there wont be enough funds to provide services for low incomes. With funding decreasing, the amount of services and education starts to go down. Some staff members who use to dedicate their time educating and teaching people healthy sex education through meetings, seminars, and classrooms will be lowered because now their primary focus will shit to helping more in the office to keep the facility running and financially stable. If Planned Parenthood stop providing service to low incomes, younger generations will less likely obtain information and education that they need in order to promote healthy and safe sex lifestyle. Education is the key to lowering the percentage of teen pregnancies, abortions, and sexual diseases. In which, the organization has successfully been doing. If Republicans are truly concern on the issue of abortion, then they should work together with Democrats in continuing to fund the organization.

    I think that most classical liberals are very likely to support funding of Planned Parenthood because Planned Parenthood supports freedom from restriction and empowerment. Not to mention that Planned Parenthood funding is supported by over 60% of US citizens and liberals value the state as a contract between individuals thus liberals would be in favor of majority opinion. (Planned Parenthood Funding Poll Results) Radicals also seem likely to align with government support of Planned Parenthood because revolutionary rights is a political ideal of radicals and the services which Plan Parenthood provide are considered revolutionary by much of society including abortion services. Conservatives are likely aligned with the perspective that government should not fund Planned parenthood for several reasons.…

    Planned Parenthood doesn’t only provide health care for Americans, they also have an international branch that helps bring health care to those in need all around the globe. Just a simple search on their website and you can see that “for over 40 years, Planned Parenthood Global has been working overseas in partnership with local advocates, medical service providers, youth leaders and more to ensure that women, men, and young people in some of the world’s most neglected areas have access to the health care they need to control their bodies and their futures” (plannedparenthood.org).

    Kimberly Ross of Red State says “In fact, Planned Parenthood has so much money on hand that they spent $38 million on campaigns this year to put Hillary in the White House and pro-abort candidates in Congress.” Now that is a lot of money to be spent on something that has nothing to do with the patients of Planned Parenthood. To me it just seems unjust that people are paying taxes to the government for abortions while the Planned Parenthood business gets to play with tax dollars from the government to support a candidate’s…

    Imagine a world where a small group of people could destroy a nation-wide organization with slanderous lies. If the Republicans in Congress get their way, Americans wouldn’t have to imagine. Defunding the Planned Parenthood Federation of America over a false accusation would be harmful to the health and finances of American citizens. Planned Parenthood is an organization that provides many essential health services for both men and women. Not only do these services directly benefit millions of people, but the scientific advancements made possible by Planned Parenthood have improved the lives of many more.…

    Despite the attacks on Planned Parenthood, there are still 700 Planned Parenthood health care centers across the country and Planned Parenthood is still working with legislation to introduce bills to expand and protect access to reproductive health care across the country. Alternative Solutions or Policies The anti-abortion debate and attack on reproductive health care rights is concerning to me as a woman, what concerns me the most however is affordability of abortion. The Hyde Amendment passed in 1976 excludes abortion from the comprehensive health care services provided by the federal government through Medicaid to people who are low income. There are currently only 17 out of 50 states that fund abortions for low-income women on same or similar terms as other pregnancy-related and/or general health services.…

    By preventing Planned Parenthood from receiving federal money, it means people with government funded health care cannot use it for the services provided at the clinics. Many people do not know the exact statistics of the services Planned Parenthood provide, and because of that they may have skewed ideas of the clinic. Without federal funding Planned Parenthood patients who use government provided health care would have to pay for all of the services of the clinic out of their own pocket (Bassett). For people with private health care, this would not be an issue, but for others who lack the money to pay for private health care, they may be in trouble. Planned Parenthood has said that two-thirds of their patients are “low-income and have no other primary health care provider” (Bassett).…

    Planned Parenthood is currently under a great deal of scrutiny concerning whether or not they violated Federal Law by selling aborted baby parts. The Federal Government is also trying to decide if they should cut the $500 million of funding that Planned Parenthood receives. While Planned Parenthood may have been breaking Federal Law, I do not believe that the government should defund them. Planned Parenthood does much more than just abortions; they do STI/STD testing and treatment, provide multiple types of contraception, cancer screenings and prevention, pregnancy tests and prenatal services, adoption referrals to other agencies, and urinary tract infection treatments. All of these services are available for men, women, and teenagers.…

    As many accusations towards the non-profit business Planned Parenthood arose in early 2015 many groups like the GOP began rallying towards the defunding of the institution. People have always been pushing for the defunding of the institution because of the abortions practiced there. Then in 2015 a pro-life organization released a chilling video of doctors working at Planned Parenthood discussing the selling of aborted fetus tissue. Even though the video was debunked the fight to defund the institution was never stronger. What many people did not realize is that defunding Planned Parenthood would cause a negative effect on many Americans, although it would save tax dollars, there would be a loss of health services that are otherwise not affordable.…

    According to the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP), in 2017, only an astonishing 19.6% of Congress consists of women. Our statistic from CAWP leaves more than 80% exclusively to men, with limited understanding of the needs of women, which explains why the struggle to obtain affordable birth control is a continuous battle. Access to contraception has been a hot topic for a while with much opposition from companies and religious groups, with the most recent attempt to defund Planned Parenthood, an organization that provides many men and women with sex education as well as free or low-cost health services. Birth control is humane and a basic health right for women and a necessity for both partners, it reduces hospital bills, unsafe abortions and teen…

    Women’s rights has been an issue in the United States since the early 1800’s and until all people are comfortable discussing the fact that in many parts of the world, women have no say in what they can do with their bodies or how it’s treated. A woman should be the only one who can decide what is best for her body. There is only so much that women can do when the one place that helps women with checkups and abortion based questions, Planned Parenthood, is being defunded or closed down. “The House of Representatives is expected to pass a budget reconciliation bill that guts the Affordable Care Act, pulls roughly $450 million in federal assistance from Planned Parenthood and prevents Medicaid recipients from getting reimbursed…
