Parenthood: Known As The 5-11 Club

My drive to help others stems from my time volunteering with the service organization, Rotary, and their leadership program, Camp RYLA. When I attended this camp as a high schooler, I learned invaluable lessons of self-confidence and connecting with others, traits seldom found in a high school environment. My experience at this program inspired me to return as a counselor, where I have been helping foster the growth of today’s youth for the past four years.

Since taking the reins in 2006, Cecile Richards has spearheaded Planned Parenthood through difficult times to ensure it has emerged better than before.

The target population may be Planned Parenthood (PP) as an entity, but the policy will affect the clients that depend on PP for services. If House Bill 294 passes, it will end federal funding to Planned Parenthood (House Bill 294, 2015). Planned Parenthood provides services to Medicaid recipients and other individuals with little to no income. The services provided by PP include providing free or low-cost contraceptives, cancer screenings, STD testing and treatment (Planned Parenthood, 2016). The population who loses if this policy is passed are the individuals living in poverty and medically underserved areas since they are over half of PP clients (Heisler, 2016). They are already disadvantaged by not having sufficient medical services in the area; Planned Parenthood is one of the key resources that are specifically planted in low-income areas to be accessible to this diverse population. With the easy access to contraceptives being lost, pregnancy will be on the rise along with STDs, since treatment will no longer be provided in a quick and easy manner. For an already impoverished and oppressed community these consequences could be dire.

The Kentucky YMCA is a big part of my life. The first thing that I learned when I joined was that people at the Y promote four core values. These are Respect, Responsibility, Honesty, and Caring. These words have been seared into my brain by constant repetition and reminders. I never was conscious of these values until I saw them in work during a program they call Y Corps. This program is a large community service program that goes on 6 different service trips over the summer around Kentucky, the northern states, and the southern states. I had the privilege of going on the trip to the south. I realized that I was seeing these values be acted out by 27 high school students that were nothing special yet incredibly important all at once. I realized

My mother always told, “Verline you have to run faster and jump higher to be the best.” My mother emigrated from Haiti and my father from Dominican Republic. I am a trilingual speaker. I am fluent in French, Spanish, and English. My father and mother came to the United States for a better life for my siblings and me. Being the youngest of eight children, where six didn’t attend college brought a lot of pressure in proving to my family that I am going to be successful. While my mother juggled two jobs and attended night classes it was my community that stepped in and help me evolve into the young woman I am today. I gave back to my community when I entered high school, and I began by volunteering at the YMCA I attended. My position switched from an attendee, to a volunteer, and now a camp counselor. I was so excited to take on a leadership role because I wanted to help students find what they are passionate about just as my mentor once did for me. I appreciate the opportunities that my community gave to me. I’ve gained principles, discipline, and tough love from my mentors in my community. Growing up in a large family l learned to share and the importance of relationships. I am beyond grateful to my family and community support for instilling in me the belief that I could do anything, and the sky is the

While the service trip took place in the Northern US, there were pre-determined requirements that had to be met before we could embark, one of which was a minimum fundraised amount of $500. The money that was raised by this program went towards scholarships for other Kentucky residents to attend YMCA Conferences, where they have the chance to learn about democracy, kinship, and our community. I count this as community service because the YMCA changed my life by transforming an academic student into a servant leader. Providing the chance for someone else to be shaped into one of tomorrow's leaders is doing a service to my community. The third tier of my service goes towards the United States of America. An example of my service to America has already been noted in my ten day service trip to northern states where I helped shelve books with my peers and kinfolk who had fallen into unfortunate circumstances as well as re-vitalise YMCA Camp Y-Owasco through mulching over 5 miles of trails; however, a lesser noted service that many young adults seek is education. I firmly believe that the education of forthcoming generations is one of the greatest services that can be done for our

In YMCA the growth and development is very important. Youth participation has grown tremendously. It is now grown to 200,000. YMCA is opened on so many places in New York City. Their staff continues to exceed the performance and targets to bring positive culture. The goal for YMCA is “to focus the priorities and goals more on the people and they serve and less on the institution” (The YMCA, n.d., p. 1).

However, there are also hidden motives that Mrs. Black doesn’t mention in her reasoning for supporting the bill. For instance, out of the top 5 industries that donated money towards her campaign, 4 of them were in the health service industry (OpenSecrets.org - Diane Black). If this bill would have passed and Planned Parenthood would have been defunded for a year or indefinitely, this would have benefitted Black’s top donors. This is the case because nearly 80% of the women who use Planned Parenthood’s services had incomes at or below the federal poverty level, and “27% of all women in the United States who obtain contraceptive services do so at publicly funded health centers” such as Planned Parenthood (Goldschmidt and Strickland, 2015). Since

In the last days of the Obama administration there was a rule passed that effectively secured that state and local governments would not withhold federal funding for family planning services. This includes contraception, sexually transmitted infections, fertility, pregnancy care, and breast and cervical cancer no matter if they perform abortions. This has been reversed by President Trump. Trump has signed legislation to cut federal funding to Planned Parenthood and other groups that perform abortion. This was a move defended by conservatives that have demanded to impose curbs on reproductive rights. “Trump has showed ambivalence about planned parenthood, voicing support for its health- related services other than abortion, and his daughter

The Court, in the majority opinion by Justice Blackmun, held that the right to privacy protected an unmarried woman's right to choose to terminate her pregnancy. State criminal abortion laws, like those involved in Texas, that grant exception for only life-saving procedures, violate the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which protect state action the right to privacy, including a woman's choice to an abortion, and the Ninth Amendment's reservation of rights to the people. Though the state cannot override this right, it has interests in protecting the mother's health and the potentiality of human life, each of which reach a "compelling state interest" at different times during the pregnancy. This protocol is where the trimester

In Texas, a Planned Parenthood has been under investigation on several accounts; however, it has been announced that it has been cleared after the two-month-long investigation. There were two people who were involved in making secret videos of the group and the videos were released to the public. David Daleiden was indicted on the account of the buying and selling human organs and Sandra Merritt was indicted for tampering with governmental record. A warrant for Daleiden was issued this past Monday. A spokesperson from Planned Parenthood stated, "We respect the processes of the Harris County District Attorney, and note that buying fetal tissue requires a seller as well. Planned Parenthood still cannot deny the admissions from their leadership about fetal organ sales captured on video for all the world to see.” The Planned Parenthood organization wants everyone to know they had not partaken in the actions that the two individuals did.

WASHINGTON- Diane Black, a Republican representative from Tennessee, has introduced a bill on January 6th, 2017, that will cut federal funding for the organization Planned Parenthood in order to prevent further profits on abortion.

Do you think it’s right to defund a non-profit organization that does a world of good? I most certainly don’t. Planned Parenthood protects, supports, and educates our society greatly from the services they provide. This essay will provide evidence and reasoning that prove that Planned Parenthood is a beneficial necessity for society, proving that it would be a horrific mistake if Congress chose to defund Planned Parenthood.

After watching the second video, my answers to the previous two questions would be somewhat different. Seven Planned Parenthood positions showed the same problem as they would like to help on hiding child abuse means there were certainly something wring in the organization, at least the organization was facing serious issues on management. Besides this, the organization was obviously did not train the stuffs correctly. Originally, I thought the nurse in the first video was a rare case in such a big organization; however, when I heard the manager in NJ place said that all workers want as little information as possible, I think it was already the norm in the whole organization. Moreover, before I say this, I have to make it clear that I am not

“Progress in reducing maternal mortality has been slow and uneven, including in Latin America, where 23,000 women die each year from preventable causes.” Citation-(research) The International Planned Parenthood Federation helps address this concerns; this organization is located in 170 countries. This paper will specifically focus on the globalization issues within five Latin states as well as the economic plans within the IPPF overall. The International Planned Parenthood Federation can benefit from economic globalization, however, it really depends on the global market and government monitoring specifically within the Latin states. This includes expenses, exchange loss, transparency and restricted funding. It is of my opinion that the International Planned Parenthood indeed does benefit from economic globalization within certain limitations.
