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…

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…
Insiders say President Donald Trump is strongly considering cutting off abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood from Title X funding, a move that has liberals very worried ahead of crucial midterm elections in November, according to Axios. The decision would mean that Planned Parenthood and other abortion clinics would be forced to choose between either losing federal funding or ending all abortion referrals. This would be historic and deliver a historic victory to pro-lifers, and liberals should be very concerned.…
There is nothing all the more monetarily and economically determinative to a lady than choosing if or when to have kids, a choice to which Planned Parenthood has made an enormous commitment for a huge number of people. Planned Parenthood is the reason social moderates keep on assaulting abortion, as well as contraception in case one is against abortion and contraception, it is not just about abortion. Also, it is the reason Planned Parenthood has turned into a talisman to one side, an image of what they fear most ladies controlling their own, particular regenerative predetermination. 66% of the 1 million premature births in this nation are undertaken by private professionals other than Planned Parenthood, yet there are no mass dissents and…
At the end of 2015, the United States Congress voted to defund the medical clinic Planned Parenthood.

The clinic provides many different forms of services that are affordable and accessible, including abortions among others (Planned Parenthood). With Congress passing a bill that would prevent federal funding to the clinic many issues have arisen, especially for people who lack private insurance, and women.…
It sometimes seems to me that, in the understandable heat of the abortion debate, we lose sight of the more mundane but no less critical services Planned Parenthood provides: affordable, accessible health care and non-judgmental counseling. Planned Parenthood was there for me, and I will always be…

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…
