Parenthood Making A Profit Of Fetal Tissue

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.

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.

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.

Leaked videos from Planned Parenthood have caused frenzy among Americans and there have been debates on whether or not to continue funding this organization. These videos reveal Planned Parenthood officials discussing selling fetal tissue for profit. While they are proved to be edited videos, many people are still wary about the whole situation. Joining along with this frenzy is Ruth Marcus, whose article, Defunding Planned Parenthood would actually increase abortions, argues why Planned Parenthood should still be funded. Marcus provides substantial evidence including pathos and logos to support her claim; however, it is her ethos that is questionable. With numerous fallacies plaguing her argument, her ethos is damaged, thus affecting the argument’s

Numerous Americans, including some who are pro-choice regarding abortion, do not want their tax money used through Planned Parenthood for abortion. Staunchly religious people against abortion, claiming that it insults God to “kill unborn children,” are also against Planned Parenthood for giving out the service of abortion (DailySignal). Moreover, the selling of fetal parts by PP has become a big issue that is increasing the support for defunding PP.

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

Pro-life activists and conservatives assert that the videos serve as evidence that the organization has violated the law. However, the organization denies any

The reason why Planned Parenthood will continue to provide abortions is that they understand that not every women is ready or can support a baby at that time. For example an expecting mother could be a seventeen year old homeless girl. Forty eight percent of homeless seventeen year olds living on the street as well as thirty three percent in shelters are pregnant (“Enhancing Service Delivery through Title X Funding:Findings from California”). Another possibility is the expecting mother is addicted to drugs, and knows she will not be able to quit. Both of these are examples of expecting mothers that do not have the perfect life, and can be unable to take care of a child. Another thing pro-life supporters might not consider is that without Planned Parenthood these women would be forced to obtain an unsafe abortion, and if they couldn’t do that than what would happen to the baby. Would it be born addicted to drugs, or be living on the streets with its mother? Planned Parenthood understands this and will provide abortions with no judgment. Planned Parenthood will never cease to fight for women’s rights, even though it could cost them their funding.

Millions of taxpayer dollars are going to fund Planned Parenthood. Along with the Obamacare introduction, Planned Parenthood has become a secondary cost to make sure women have health care throughout the United States. Along with the wasted money being spent, Planned Parenthood has other issues. The high cost of administration and the sale of fetus tissue and organs have become the latest in an agency out of control. Because of the wasteful administration of funds and ethical questions about disposing of fetuses, Planned Parenthood should no longer be funded by the Federal government.

According to Bryce Covert and Mike Konczal’s article, “Born, Not Free,” the government funds constitute about $500 million of the $1.1 billion total Planned Parenthood receives in funding. However, the money coming from the government cannot legally be used towards the administration of abortion, which is the main topic of controversy. Politicians who are in favor of defunding argue that by giving money to the facility whose services are in part constituted by abortion, those funds are essentially being given in support of abortions. On the contrary, though Planned Parenthood has come to be known as a symbol for abortion, abortion constitutes only 3% of the services provided. According to Nancy Gibbs, a managing editor for TIME magazine, the other 97% is made up of “family planning, immunizations and screening for cancer and sexually transmitted diseases” (Gibbs). Due to the funding from the government, Planned Parenthood is able to provide the aforementioned inexpensive yet crucial services to women. $500 million dollars is a small price to pay to ensure the health and wellbeing of half of the population of the United States of America. Also, even though abortion is only a small part Planned Parenthood, a woman is able to have the procedure done safely and without further damage to her physical welfare. To conclude, Planned Parenthood is able to vastly improve women’s overall health through its facilities, like cancer screenings and family planning. However,

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,

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

And it’s precisely this argument that’s been marshaled lately in response to a new reminder of the fleshly realities of abortion: The conversations, videotaped covertly by pro-life activists posing as fetal organ buyers, in which officials from Planned Parenthood cheerfully discuss the procedures for extracting those organs intact during an abortion and the prices they command.
