In today’s society, we tend to put labels on things that are against our views, one of those things being Planned Parenthood. There are many different opinions on what Planned Parenthood does and doesn’t do for the citizens of America. Some people believe Planned Parenthood to be “Orwellian” and others believe it to be an advantageous source for society. One of the services Planned Parenthood provides Americans with is cancer screening. “If Planned Parenthood is defunded, American women (and men) will miss out on more than 650,000 cancer prevention and screening services” (McNally).

Contraception is a method or device used to prevent pregnancy. Some of the forms of contraception Planned Parenthood provides are patches, implants, pills, shots, sponges, condoms, vasectomies, female sterilizations, and many more forms. “Birth control is a safe and easy way to prevent pregnancy.

Republican House members argued “There should be no loophole that would allow abortion providers to have access (to funding)” (Carr). Despite the republicans efforts many Planned Parenthood clinics can find loopholes to allow them to perform an abortion without be reprimanded. In 2014 alone “323,999 abortions were performed” (Strickland). These abortions aren’t just for careless people who get pregnant, but they are also for women who have been raped, women who physically can’t handle childbirth, teenage girls who aren’t ready to become mothers yet, and women who are mentally incapable of taking care of a child during pregnancy of after pregnancy.

This ban on abortions is sound to most people because at the age of twenty weeks a fetus has a thirty percent chance of survival, but if the government decides to defund Planned Parenthood many women will not be able to access accurate pregnancy testing or prenatal care.
