Analysis Of The New Presidency And Abortion

During the past 40 years, the U.S. Supreme Court, have superseded states as the driving force in crafting abortion policy. Since January’s 1973 decision on abortion, which granted women to constitutional right to terminate their pregnancy. But state legislatures encountered many limitations in the way they can regulate abortion. Currently Abortion is legal in our government law and society. We also have to main party Groups; called Democrat and Republican that

There are always a number of heated debates within the United States. These debates are always a hot topic and very controversial issues. Due to how controversial they are, is why they become such largely debated topics with many people having very different views on the specific topic. For example, there is a Democratic and Republican party in the United States; people either stick with one side or the other due to their beliefs and sometimes can be neutral or on the other party’s side for certain topics. Abortion is a very controversial topic as it always has been all around the country but more specifically in the United States. There are two sides to the debate: those who believe abortion should be legal and their organization is

This current debate whether Planned Parenthood should be funded by the Federal Government is a hot issue in the current election. It has become, not only a nationwide issue, but also worldwide where people from all around the world are able to put in their input on the argument. There are many people who

In Texas (Texas being the first state in America to cancel Medicaid funding), Governor Abbot recently informed Planned Parenthood that the state is cutting off the organization from the state’s Medicaid program stated by Andy Sullivan in the article “Texas Tries To Stitch a Safety Net without Planned Parenthood”, as recently released undercover videos show evidence of violations. Another huge thing they have been under fire for is whether or not they are making a profit off of abortions, if they are making a profit off of abortions the government strongly

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

“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 many believe that Planned Parenthood only performs abortions, a frenzy against it has been created. “We don’t want to commit taxpayer funding for abortions, and Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider” (Strickland quoting Paul Ryan, 2017). Republicans rather see federal funding go towards federal community centers. However, to clarify this misconception we need to look at what federal funding is going towards. Planned Parenthood receives its funding from Medicaid reimbursements (Berg, 2017). They do not keep any hidden money, or have money put aside to preform free abortions. As the federal money that comes in goes straight towards helping patients.

Over the last one hundred years the program known as planned parenthood has selflessly devoting millions of dollars and countless hours. To providing health care that is not only safe but also affordable. (Lawrence and Ness) The comprehensive health care that planned parenthood provides is, in my opinion extremely beneficial to every single man and woman that has ever happened to be a patient of planned parenthood. Planned parenthood provides an extraordinary amount of benefits that have helped millions of people all around the world. Benefits such as free testing for sexually transmitted. Access to the full range of reproductive and preventive health services for woman and men both. Examinations, vaccinations, and abortion as well as many more. According to the author of Defunding Planned Parenthood Defined “Extreme politicians, led by Vice President Mike Pence and Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, want to shut down Planned Parenthood”. If so many benefits are being provided by planned parenthood why is government funding for the program being taken away? Excluding their personal feelings towards abortion. I personally cannot think of any logical conclusion that would lead vice president Mike Pence and human services secretary Tom Price to think shutting down planned parenthood is a good idea by any stretch of the imagination. The services provided by planned parenthood are much too valuable to simply disappear for millions of people. If these services where to

Millions of women across America will struggle to receive the medical attention they need if the federal government stops funding to Planned Parenthood. Every year 363 million dollars goes into the funding “pot” collectively at Planned Parenthood’s nationwide (Clark 5). This money is used predominantly by women; for six in ten women, Planned Parenthood acts as their main source of health care (Clark 4). Many individuals with low incomes depend on these clinics to maintain or help better their health. Recently, the federal government is trying to pass the Pence Amendment, which would eliminate funding to these institutions. The federal government needs to realize how important Planned Parenthood

Congress is the only branch of government that can "make laws". (Lenz,2013) Though Congress is part of the law making process they are not the ones who actually "make the law" but oversees the law or passes it. With that being said the law is not a law when it begins it is first a sponsored Bill. The Bill that was sponsored by Senator Roger Wicker on the 17th of March, 2015 is the Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2015 which was introduced to Senate.(Congress.gov, n.d.) This Bill states in Section 3 that it will prohibit federal funds for a one-year period for any purpose to Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. or any of its affiliates or clinics, unless they certify that the affiliates or clinics will not perform, and will not provide any funds to any other entity that performs, an abortion during such period. The restriction will not apply to cases of rape or incest or where a physical condition endangers a woman's life unless an abortion is performed. The Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture must seek repayment if federal assistance received by Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. or any affiliate or clinic, if it violates the terms of the certification required by the Act. Section 4 reads Additional funding for community health centers is provided for the one-year period described above.(Congress.gov,2016) This is the first step of creating the law. The second step is it being assigned to a committee for consideration. The committee the Bill was assigned to the Senate- Committee on Commerce,

A recent problem in the United States is whether or not Planned Parenthood facilities should still receive government funding. Majority of the United States government believes that the funding currently being used for Planned Parenthood should be used elsewhere, while some politicians and Americans believe that Planned Parenthood facilities are essential for affordable sexual health care. Planned Parenthood facilities are unnecessary establishments that should not receive any funding from the United States government.

First of all, the government has an ethical obligation to provide for its citizens. Part of the job as a person in power has an emphasis on keeping all citizens provided for. Planned Parenthood keeps its patients provided and cared for, and defunding it strips the only access of health care that they have. To begin, denying people health care who do not have enough money to get their own has no moral standard. As a person in power, there is an expectation to provide and care about all citizens in the country. Planned Parenthood allows many men and women to have access to many affordable health care services. Senator Bernie Sanders states, “Planned Parenthood provides vital healthcare services for millions of women, who rely on its clinic every year for affordable, quality health care services including cancer prevention, STI and HIV testing and general primary health care services” (Fighting). Furthermore, many laws have been put into place that protect the people’s rights. Section One of the Fourteenth Amendment states, “... No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction of the equal protection

Five years ago, we learned in Texas what can happen when efforts to defund Planned Parenthood are carried out. The network of health-care providers falls apart and women lose access to essential preventive services. Planned Parenthood is not something that, at first, was affecting Texas government. When Texas decided to focus on the fact that they preform abortions, basically, just ignoring the fact the government started by providing reproductive health care and still do. That’s when Planned Parenthood was forced to fight back, which started to affect Texas government because of their involvement. Years ago, Texas voluntarily gave up $30 million a year in federal funding for women’s health programs, just so it could exclude Planned Parenthood from the roster of approved

Healthcare has emerged as a primary topic of debate recently given the rhetoric of president Trump on “repealing and replacing” our current system. His ideal replacement, which he failed to pass through the senate, has a favorability rating of 16% according to Mark Murray of NBC news (4). The GOP health care bill is projected by many healthcare experts, including Noam M. Levey of the LA times, who implies that this bill will lead to a spike in the number of uninsured Americans; this proposition also includes tax cuts, along with progressive cuts (over time) to medicaid spending from the house and senate
