Adam Erickson approaches the problem from a completely different angle. Rather than focusing on the dilemma he goes into detail about why it is a dilemma. It is mentioned that he personally hates abortions, however recognizes the logic of both sides. He states that both viewpoints have good goals in mind, regardless both viewpoints have negative effects. Some sources are provided, but this article is about logic rather than plain facts. Despite its lack of source, I agree with what he has to say.

It is published by an organization whose only agenda is de-funding Planned Parenthood and ending all abortions. The main content is a video that shows several phone calls between a false donor and Planned Parenthood representatives. The donor asks if she can make a donation, and asks if she can make the donation for a specific minority group(blacks). The page has almost no source, and even the one source listed has no sources at all. Even in the video it is obvious the representatives are only trying to do their job. I do not agree with anything this page claims, however it is necessary to get both sides of an argument to see the whole

    This article heavy relies on logos, pathos, kairos, and ethos to effectively win over its readers. Logos is used very lightly in this article with only one statistic given throughout the article. In the article the author uses a few examples of women that she has talked to and their stories about their abortion. Throughout the entire paper Kraw only gives one statistic, one out of the women have an abortion in their lifetime, I would question when that survey was taken and who was in charge of the survey. However, the court case of Roe vs Wade is brought up in this article as a reference to try to support her case that women should have a safe choice to…

    In the Bellingham Planned Parenthood works a 55-year-old nurse practitioner named Kaylene. To protect her family from being persecuted and to protect her profession, Kaylene’s last name is withheld. From her soft grey hair to her sneaker-clad feet she exudes a motherly aura and speaks with a touch of a Midwestern accent. One would never think that in order for her to go into work she has to walk through a group of shouting protestors that call her a “baby killer” or that quite a few family members have deserted her. The challenges she faces are not new, the stigma surrounding Planned Parenthood has been there for a very long time.…

    Dating back to October 16, 1916, Margaret Sanger opened the first birth control clinic in the U.S. Soon after, she was arrested and accused of supplying indecent materials to women. In 1938, the clinic officially became the American Birth Control League, and by 1944, had over 200 functioning centers and a significant amount of clients—upwards of around forty-thousand. Many at the time found the operation’s name offensive, and Sanger changed it to what we all know today as the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA). The PPFA was initially a safe and confidential clinic for underprivileged women to gain insight on contraception guidance. After one hundred years, their main goal is to continue to improve women’s health, despite conflicting…

    In conclusion, although the recent footage contained disturbing images of the unethical practices of selling and buying of aborted fetus tissue, defunding the Planned Parenthood program would only benefit those in power passing the bill. If such an action took place, where the aborted fetus tissue was sold, who is to say that the patient did not consent to the donating of the tissue, before the procedure? What if she did? Is the government really for the people as it states in the Preamble to the United States Constitution?…

    People from all socioeconomic statuses, all communities, all races, and religions. Because of this, it is imperative that we maintain access to reproductive care facilities, like Planned Parenthood. Six in ten women consider Planned Parenthood their main source of health care (Planned Parenthood, 2017). By defunding Planned Parenthood, we are removing imperative care to those who need it most; half of Planned Parenthood’s facilities are in rural and underserved communities (Planned Parenthood, 2017). Not only does Planned Parenthood offer imperative services, but they also pride themselves in delivering comprehensive sex education.…

    A society 's well-being relies on women flourishing and ultimately leads to equality and unity. This is fundamentally enveloped within America 's values of freedom and justice for all.

It was one of the bloodiest years in the organization 's history, as unborn casualties climbed to 333,964- enough to fill Yankee stadium six times (Perkins). Reading the arguments against the federal funding of Planned Parenthood are very difficult to take seriously.…
