The Importance Of Planned Parenthood

Improved Essays
When people hear of the organization Planned Parenthood, many images can pop into their heads. To some, Planned Parenthood is a wonderful place where they educate the population and provide medical services to women who cannot afford the regular services. To others Planned Parenthood is a horrible organization that sells the fetal tissue of the babies aborted. No matter what people’s views on Planned Parenthood, I believe that the government should finance Planned Parenthood because; Planned Parenthood educates all types of people on various topics, Planned Parenthood also offers services to women who cannot afford them, and the multiple accusations against Planned Parenthood are incorrect.
Planned Parenthood should be funded by the government because they educate the population on; forms of birth control, STD’s, sexuality, body image, men and

In this excerpt from an email sent out earlier this year Planned Parenthood states, “In the 29th State Senate district our endorsed candidate, Jeremy McPike, defeated Hal Parrish in a stunning 6-point victory. This means we’ve gained another women’s health advocate in the Virginia Senate, flipping the district in our favor.” (Stewart-Reid). Planned Parenthood also uses a little humor to get their point across, in this email sent out around Halloween, “Let’s face it: vampires can rack up a lot of sexual partners over the years. Your vampire might be the same age as you, or she or he might be thousands of years old. But no matter how old you are, if you’re going to jump into bed with a vampire, you’re going to need more than a clove of garlic to protect your health.” (Planned Parenthood). Not only is Planned Parenthood discussing safe sex, they are adding humor to it by jokingly in the spirit of Halloween personifying the significant other as a

    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.…

    Taxes contributed to Planned Parenthood pay for women to be tested for cancer, STD’s, and most importantly receive affordable reproductive health care when necessary. Saying things like “taxpayer dollars” and “harvesting baby parts” create an incriminating image of Planned Parenthood in the audience’s mind rather than an accurate one. Let’s break this down; for one, “taxes”-because everyone hates taxes, especially when they’re being wasted, that’s the American public’s hard earned money. Secondly, “harvesting baby parts” is one of the worst statements I personally have ever heard, what audiences need to understand is that scientifically speaking…

    Planned Parenthood should not lose any funding or be shut down. Despite recent abortion controversies, Planned Parenthood should not be held responsible for pro-abortion advocates. The organization is pro-choice, and intends to give the choice back to the people in order to allow them to choose a better life for themselves. If Planned Parenthood loses its funding or gets shut down, people everywhere, but especially low-income families, will be put in a difficult standing in affordable health care and wellness. Furthermore, shutting down Planned Parenthood would put many people at a greater health risk than they have now, and worst yet, it will not end abortion.…

    Over the past few years, the accessibility of healthcare has become a very personal issue to me. My family is just above qualifying for subsidized health insurance, but right below being able to afford our own. We neglect our health and wellbeing because there is little we can do about choosing between paying our bills to keep a roof over our heads versus seeing the doctor for chronic health issues that can be alleviated (but not truly resolved) with a bottle of aspirin. While I do not have a regular primary care doctor, I am fortuitous enough to be able to have access to an affordable, nearby clinic. Having experienced years of debilitating periods, the knowledgeable workers of Planned Parenthood quickly addressed my problem and provided me with information about the most affordable and effective options available.…

    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).…

    However, Planned Parenthood has overextended its hand to millions of desperate women. Knowing that they can easily get free birth control and abortions, women have lost the sense of gravity and morality that life should be treated with. To lessen the number of abortions carried out annually—a daunting 50 million—women must face reality, they are condoning the killing of their baby, not an "it. " People can't “abort children,”—they can either keep them alive or kill them. A person should not be disposable.…

    Each year, U.S. teens experience as many as 850,000 pregnancies, and youth under age 25 experience about 9.1 million sexually transmitted infections. The sexual education in schools cannot claim innocence because if the education for this topic was better, teenagers would not have gotten these diseases. “Controversy arises when abstinence is provided to adolescents as a sole choice and where health information on other choices is restricted or misrepresented” (Santelli 1). Many young children misinterpret abstinence-only programs and this is why young girls may end up in abortion…
