Cecile Richard: Planned Parenthood

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.

Who is the man who created a spark and urged many to take a closer look at Planned Parenthood? His name is David Daleiden. “He is an antiabortion activist, and for 2 ½ years, he was an undercover agent in one of the most elaborate exploits in recent political history.” (Altman, 2015). His recording of private meetings with big Planned Parenthood executives and other employees, revealed that the organization provides “aborted fetal tissue to medical researchers.” (Altman, 2015) David’s recordings, however, did not show proof that Planned Parenthood profits from these fetal tissue sales, but it left many people questioning the organizations intentions. (Altman, 2015)

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

I can remember her name now but she was a nurse who lived in New York where she fought for women to have some form of contraception. When a young woman died ending an unwanted pregnancy she made it her determine to take up the fight. In 1916, she opened up her own clinic in Brooklyn New York. She made it her lifelong mission after being arrested for thirty days for handing out contraception. Today it now known as Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood falls into this category. They are a company that gives no thought to the law or justice and no thought to the value of life. They are a company who feels they are above the law and when put to the fire, they lie. Planned Parenthood has committed numerous illegal abortions. One of which is PBA (partial birth abortion). Here in our state PBA is illegal (according to KRS section 311.710), but Planned Parenthood doesn't care about that. Planned Parenthood merely cares about the cash that lines their pocket. Planned Parenthood commits this crime because “it produces intact tissue.” Continuing on, Planned Parenthood gives the promise to the DONOR that their procedure is locked in place and will not change (this is law too), but as you saw on the video once again Planned Parenthood has compromised not only on a state and federal law, but also on a patient's trust. It doesn't stop there, Planned Parenthood is involved in the trafficking of baby parts (selling and buying). According to federal

October 20th, 2015 the U.S House voted to end taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood due to their harvesting of body parts of aborted babies and fetal tissue, among other parts for scientific research and selling to third-party companies to distribute. The companies they sold to used the parts as they wished for research and supposedly for ingredients in cosmetic wear. Center for Medical Progress, an anti-abortion group, released the videos of them secretly meeting with director of Texas Planned Parenthoods who teaches the methods for abortions for the state, whom explained that they perform abortions to gather intact fetal specimens. Many types of people claim that such an issue is so morally corrupt that the company should be defunded federally,

David Daleiden is the founder of Center of Medical Progress, wrote on Facebook that the agents "seized all video footage showing Planned Parenthood's criminal trade in aborted baby parts, in addition to my personal information."

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

Your a dip shit. Your message is completely misleading. Folks aren't asking Congress to "end support for woman or family health care services" by defunding Planned Parenthood. They ARE asking for Congress to stop spending tax payers money on funding abortions by Planned Parent especially considering all the sick, twisted and damming evidence these videos have brought to light by Planned Parenthood.

Abortion is the termination of pregnancy, and it is one of the services provided by Planned Parenthood. Abortion is a one of the most controversial issues in this country, and those who aren’t in favor, or pro-life, think that is morally wrong, and because of

Originally the Susan G. Komen foundation had a full plan on how they were going to let the public know that they were pulling their funds from Planned Parenthood. They wanted to do so in a way that did not upset the public and their supporters. They made phone calls and reached out to people to try and help them not get so much. When they got ahead of themselves and leaked the information early is when they hurt themselves. The board of directors and CEO Nancy Brinker released a statement to the public apologizing for the decisions they chose that the public thought was political. In the statement they went on to say how they will amend things by clarifying their criteria to say that disqualifying investigations from now on have to criminal

"I'm here to tell you Planned Parenthood should not get another dime of our taxpayer dollars," he said. In response to the recent cuts, abortion rights activists yesterday protested outside the governor mansion but the governor counter the demonstrators by setting up large screens displaying the controversial uncovered videos. "They came to protest at my house yesterday, and so we set up some nice video screens for them so they could watch those videos uncovered,” Jindal

She became an active member of the Young Republicans club learning the ins and outs of how to win an election and what the party truly stands for. She served as the president of this club for a short period of time helping Republican Mayors and Attorney Generals get into office. When the Civil Rights Movement was occurring along with the Vietnam War her views of Politics quickly changed to the Democratic side, later in her life when asked about this she said she was "a mind conservative and a heart liberal" meaning that although conservative ideals could be right they lack to forgiveness for people that are less fortunate than themselves. Based off of her changing ideals she supported the Eugene McCarthy who was a Democrat that was publically against America's participation in the war. She then took on another leadership role as the president of the Wellesley College Government Student Association. Due to her position she was able to organize an on campus protest following the Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968. As a result of her political views being flipped around in just one year she decided to attend the Republican National Convention in order to get insight in the party that she once believed in so much. While she was there she got the chance to listen to Richard Nixon speak which angered her because of his political views which, ultimately made her leaving never doubt
