Planned Parenthood was under attack summer of 2015. They were accused of selling baby parts for profit. This practice caused Planned Parenthood to be criticized and brought under more scrutiny then they face on a daily basis for being an abortion center. It is common practice to see picketers who are pro-lifers standing outside Planned Parenthood businesses holding signs proclaiming the right to life. But when two videos became public that demonstrated Planned Parenthood officials talking about the sales of aborted fetus body parts, the heat on Planned Parenthood went from warm to a blazing inferno and funding was immediately pulled from Planned Parenthood. The videos were a major rallying point for many Americans who are opposed to abortion. In fact the videos aided pro-lifers as they went after the government demanding that funding be stopped to Planned Parenthood clinics. This accusation sparked a wave of investigations. After the videos initially became public there were a number of states that made the decision to investigate further into the tissue sale and see if in fact the claim the videos were making were true. State investigators still have yet to find any substantial evidence that Planned Parenthood was selling or profiting at all from fetal tissue sales. There have been 12 states that have completed their investigation. Although investigators were unable to substantiate the sales of body parts they did uncover some questionable practices in a
The “Planned Parenthood Federation of America” is a non profit organization, funded by the Federal Government, in which it provides reproductive/maternal health services among the United States as well as internationally, since 1952. In recent news developments, there have been rumors that Planned Parenthood practices “inhumane” procedures when aborting an unborn baby to harvest their organs and that a law should be passed to stop this. The supporters for Planned Parenthood claim that these claims are unfounded and believe that Planned Parenthood is a wonderful association that helps women and men all around the world. This issue has caused a series of debates that have been going on for years, but Planned Parenthood still lives on.
Governmental funding is an enormous piece of the puzzle sparking mass debates and becoming a part of the center piece into the topic itself. The program has also been under suspicion of selling aborted babies and their body parts in the black market to make a profit, which in turn breaks many federal abortion laws and would immediately cause a cease to Planned Parenthoods future and present operations.
You didn’t hear this from me, but the word on the street is that Planned Parenthood needs to be defunded. Tax payers look towards their elected officials for guidance when taking their stance on hot button debates like climate change. Through persuasive rhetoric the masses can find themselves on either end of the topic at hand. The members of the Planned Parenthood community have shown resilience in the face of adversity when faced with the prospect of their primary healthcare provider going out of business. Mister Jesse Anders and my anonymous informant, whose name was stricken from the record upon request, shared their insight into the matter over the course
Congress has sparked a debate as to whether or not the government should continue funding Planned Parenthood. Too many people are uneducated about the many services Planned Parenthood offers to those who would not be able to afford it otherwise. The debate began after a heavily edited video was released accusing Planned Parenthood of selling fetal organs for a profit. The selling of any body part is against federal law. CNN released an article confirming to the public that it was indeed an edited video by inputting the original and comparing it to the altered one. Planned Parenthood does donate tissue, but only for scientific research, and solely acquires reimbursement for the expenses. Planned Parenthood is a nonprofit organization.
Abortions only make up three percent of the procedures done at Planned Parenthood clinics (“2014 2015 Annual Report”). There are a variety of other life saving and essential health care procedures done at the clinics, such as STD and STI testing, pregnancy tests, contraception, exams, and other health issues relating to both men and women. Many people believe that the federal government should defund planned parenthood; however, this would make it almost impossible for many low-income individuals to receive the care that they need. The federal government should not defund Planned Parenthood (PP) because abortion is not a valid reason for opposing funding because it is allowed by law, low-income individuals and families need the affordable
Planned Parenthood is one of the most controversial businesses out there to date. If you were to get a group of ten random people, I would imagine that at least six of them have an opinion related to it, and all of them an opinion on abortion, another highly controversial subject. Why is Planned Parenthood so controversial? Why do so many people want to fight for defunding from the federal government for that entity? Abortions are the biggest reason.
“Nothing matters.” That quote attributed to Ambrose Bierce may be true in some cases. It may be true to those who do not value the funding of Planned Parenthood. But something does matter. And that is the funding of the healthcare resource Planned Parenthood. Many do not understand the vital role Planned Parenthood plays in the lives of up and coming parents. Planned Parenthood has been operating and serving those in need of care in the United States and overseas for more than 40 years (“Planned Parenthood Global”). Planned Parenthood has vowed in their mission statement:
Planned parenthood has been a topic of controversy the last couple of years, as people throughout the nation ask whether or not the healthcare organization should be defunded. When video footage was released in 2015 of “Planned Parenthood medical officials discussing the sale of fetal tissue to researchers,” it seemed likely that federal funds would be revoked as backlash from the public was noted (Welch). Although the nonprofit organization does offer the termination of unplanned pregnancies, the organization offers many more services to women and men, such as free birth control and yearly health checkups “backed by medical experts and more than 100 years of research in reproductive health” (Planned Parenthood). As many people struggle financially to provide for their families, Planned Parenthood’s services are a relief to those who otherwise would not be able to afford healthcare, which is why the organization should not be defunded.
Since taking the reins in 2006, Cecile Richards has spearheaded Planned Parenthood through difficult times to ensure it has emerged better than before.
There have been many attempts on their part to pass anti-abortion legislation through and the most recent effort to defund Planned Parenthood is a response to false allegations surrounding fetal tissue donation. While Planned Parenthood does offer abortion services, the facility provides a wide array of other health services to demographics that are limited in their choice of health care provider. The issue is not that Planned Parenthood should not receive funding from the government; the issue is that republicans want to push their anti-abortion agenda. America has continually emphasized their believe in the separation of church and state. Those that support pulling funding have been using inaccurate information regarding the fetal donations to start a fire behind prolife
Supporters of the bill argue that the new measures are necessary to prevent negative backlash to health care providers, such as the ones that Planned Parenthood faced after the Irvine-based Center for Medical Progress released videos purporting to show that Planned Parenthood illegally sells aborted fetal organs.
I was disappointed to hear that the U.S Senate Failed at defunding the Planned Parenthood. According to Flores in her article in the journal & Courier, The pro-lifers are not backing down, and I hope this is true because what the clinic was doing is very inhuman. Planned Parenthood should be closed down for keeping what happened to the fetal tissues in the dark. Women who enter into the doors of this place expect to be well taken care of and
Planned Parenthood has become a topic of interest for the election of 2016. This is due to many reason. This article is about David Daleiden’s exposure against planned parenthood. He went undercover for two and a half years to try to expose them for selling fetal tissue products for profit.He received three hundred hours of undercover footage and released one video per week exposing the organization. Many groups have tried to take down Planned Parenthood but have not had any success, even after spending millions. David spent one hundred and twenty thousand dollars to expose this organization for everything that he did, including salaries, research, equipment, and travel expenses. Planned Parenthood receives over five hundred million dollars
The Center of Medical Progress has accused Planned Parenthood of selling and profiting off of aborted fetal tissues, which is illegal. Planned Parenthood has been caring for people for years now. The background of Planned Parenthood abortions is just like any other organization, and from what they say, and the way they follow the same policies. The videos that feature Planned Parenthood officials buying and selling fetal tissue makes people believe that everything that they see from the videos is all true. Planned Parenthood defends themselves by using the National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act of 1993.
This article was about the organization, Planned Parenthood and defunding its establishment. Defunding Planned Parenthood has been Mt. Everest of conservative public-policy ventures for decades, throughout multiple efforts Planned Parenthood has managed to repel their failed attempts. However, in recent discovery a video that went viral “showing a nonchalant Planned Parenthood doctor sipping wine and chatting up the best way to crush an unborn child’s abdomen has gone viral for a reason — it is appalling (Donovan).” The person in the video spoke with no regards to women’s health and mental health for his workers. Said person later went on in details about the extraction of the child and its brain, which left viewers in an unforgettable
