Planned Parenthood

Many people are under the impression that Planned Parenthood is selling fetal tissue for profit (Chris Ostendorf). However, this is a gross misrepresentation of the ideas that Planned Parenthood embodies. Planned Parenthood is often scrutinized because they perform abortions and provide abortion services, when in reality, they are so much more. Providing for men and women, Planned Parenthood is a diverse source of health care. Planned Parenthood was founded October 16, 1916 as a “nonprofit…

Wade left it up to states to put their own provisions on abortions, some controversy came about. In 1991 a court case named Planned Parenthood v. Casey was held in the Supreme Court, and made some adjustments to state laws regarding abortions. It started because in some sates there were strict conditions put in place in order for a woman to receive an abortion (Whitman). In Pennsylvania…

during through sexual contact (Planned Parenthood 2014). It is the most common sexually transmitted bacterial infection in the United States. Statistics show that about 3 million American women and men are infected with chlamydia every year (Planned Parenthood 2014). Mostly it is common amongst women and men under the age of 25 (Planned Parenthood 2014). It is more than three times as common as gonorrhea and is fifty times as common as syphilis (Planned Parenthood 2014). The STD can infect…

Hillary Clinton’s speech on planned parenthood funding was moving for many reasons. She told us about the history of planned parenthood and where it is going in the future. Clinton shares facts, stories, and pretty much anything you could think of. Hillary Clinton’s speech hitting Donald Trump on women’s issues is very well written and spoken well because she states facts, uses quotes to argue against Trump, and she is all inclusive with the women of America. In this speech, Hillary Clinton was…

it be legal to abort the fetus. I agree with the decision made in the case of Planned Parenthood v. Casey to uphold the requirements for informed consent and a 24-hour waiting period. In regard to the reporting requirements, I believe that it is important to keep such records for medical, scientific and statistical reasons. Without such records, medical research on abortions…

Planned Parenthood v Casey is a landmark Supreme Court case regarding abortion and abortion rights. The case made its way through the District Courts, to the Court of Appeals and finally to the Supreme Court in April of 1992. In 1988, Pennsylvania legislature made changes to their abortion control act. These changes included, parental consent if the woman is a minor, spousal notification, informed consent and a mandatory 24 hour waiting period. Clinics providing abortion services were also…

thought I could turn an essay in that made little impact on me but got me a decent grade. Looking back, however, I think I’ve produced a good paper. When I started, my main goal was to learn more about an organization I was curious about. To me, Planned Parenthood has been on organization unfairly attacked and I wanted to learn more about how their organization itself felt about these claims of illegal abortions and use of fetal tissue. You hear a lot about the bigots’ opinions on the matter but…

would be able to survive outside of the womb. Fetal Viability is usually after 20-25 weeks of pregnancy, so women have that time to decide to have an abortion or not. Planned Parenthood v Casey is connected with Roe v. Wade because of the changes Parenthood v Casey made to the original court ruling of Roe v. Wade. Planned Parenthood changed five things that the original court case settled. One of the changed was that the…

pursuing sex work in order to do so, or forgoing everyday necessities, such as rent, utilities, and groceries (McGee 102). As time goes on, the procedure is delayed, the cost of abortion increases, and the process becomes riskier (McGee 102-103). Planned Parenthood v. Casey even mandated that a mandatory 24-hour waiting period – after informed consent is given to proceed with the procedure – is permissible (Whitman 1987). During this 24-hour waiting period, women would be required to make two…

or were diagnosed with life-threatening diseases (Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, 1998). Although the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade is the supreme law of the land, following court decisions have weakened it. For instance, Planned Parenthood v. Casey set the precedent that states can regulate abortion but cannot impose “undue burden” on women (Currin-Percival, 2016); what constitutes as an “undue burden”? It is left to the states legislatures to interpret what is and is not an…
