Planned Parenthood has been constantly attacked by critics and has been a ginormous part of women’s lives due to the services the clinic provides. There is a tremendous amount of arguments/controversy towards Planned Parenthood and it’s been the topic in social media and in candidate…

responsibility to know about the possible consequences. However, I believe that the strengths of this argument overpower the weaknesses of the argument. One strength that this argument has is that it relates to the ownership of the body. The woman has bodily control over herself and this allows her to determine what she can and can’t do with her body.

In Kansas, minors, which is under the age of 18 years old, can obtain birth control without parental consents depending on what the doctor thinks of their maturity level (“Sex, ETC, 1).

Teen pregnancy rates are…
