Planned Parenthood Article Analysis

The Birth Control Movement of 1912 in the United States had a significant impact on Women’s Reproductive Rights. Women in the 1800s would frequently die or have complications during or after childbirth. Even if the woman would have died, they would still have a great amount of children. As the years progressed into the 1900s, the amount of children being born dropped. Because of this, birth control supplements were banned, forcing women to have a child that she was not prepared for or did not want to have in the first place.

After researching both sides of the debate on the acceptability of the US Government funding Planned Parenthood, I have affirmed my initial support for government funding. The evidence that assured my support revolved around the consequences defunding Planned Parenthood would cause and the general lack of empirical evidence against Planned Parenthood. The majority of the opposition object to funding planned parenthood for moral and religious reasons. Overall, I feel more damage would be done by defunding the organization.

Of the number of women who obtain contraception care at clinics, more than one-third of them use Planned Parenthood (Marcus). With the removal of these services, there would be a drastic increase in the number of unplanned pregnancies. Each year, Planned Parenthood prevents an estimated 516,000 unexpected pregnancies (Strickland). Not only would the number of unplanned pregnancies increase, but the awareness of sexual education would decrease, as Planned Parenthood provides sex education to 1.5 million people each year (Strickland). While it is easy to assume that women would be able to get access elsewhere, it is simply not feasible. The magnitude at which Planned Parenthood extends its services would not easily be matched. The inability to provide contraception to the women who would go unprovided would create a detrimental problem in the government that is trying to defund the

Paul Ryan and a group of GOP leaders have made a statement to cnn.com and along with other news broadcast, that in order stay within our nation’s budget Trump’s plan is to defund planned parenthood as soon as possible because we have other sources for women’s care as well sexual reproductive health for both men and women. From what I have noticed, that with the statistic rate of unplanned pregnancies and the poverty rate rising in the United States should show how important this organization is to the women as well as couples who need affordable help with birth control options. I have researched many online interviews as well as having physical evidence that this organization is a good resource

In 1916 Margaret Sanger opened the first clinic in Brooklyn, New York to provide contraceptives to women. The clinic was highly controversial and faced many issues due to birth control’s illegal nature at this time. Sanger continued in her efforts and in 1923 she started the Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau in Manhattan and the American Birth Control League, which joined to become Planned Parenthood Federation of America (Planned Parenthood). Since it’s creation, Planned Parenthood

One in eight women in the United States develop breast cancer in their life. One in five sexually active teens has herpes. Three in ten sexually active teen girls become pregnant before age twenty. All of these statistics are shocking, but what is more disturbing is that they can typically be spotted or prevented if given access to the proper outlet, tools, and information. The epidemic that should frighten people is the plague of misinformation or ignorance to knowledge that could prevent these occurrences, or the lack of drive to find information regarding these unfortunate instances. Planned Parenthood offers a range of services that include screening for breast cancer to women, sexually transmitted disease testing to

PORTLAND, Oregon- “I was terrified,” plaintiff Dr. Warren Martin Hern stated as he heard he was on the “Deadly Dozen, GUILTY” poster. The first amendment has been strained throughout this case for the reasons of the unknown. The major question in the Planned Parenthood of the Columbia/Willamette, Inc. v. ACLA case is “what defines a true threat?”

Main Theme: My final paper will be utilizing the essays of Marilyn Frye, with particular interest focusing on her theory of oppression, in correlation to the modern day issue of “the war on Planned Parenthood”.

Health care has drastically changed throughout the years, especially for women. Areas that have experienced trouble have been Planned Parenthood, and whether or not birth control should be included in insurance and/or provided by healthcare agencies or employers. Planned Parenthood has been getting attacked because of people who do not believe abortion is a morally conscious decision. Planned Parenthood helps women who are unable to afford the care they need while pregnant, teaches safe sex, and provides adequate health care to mean and women in general. Being able to obtain and use birth control is essential for women’s health and ability to plan and control their own lives. The main issue is that multiple insurance companies, politicians, and even employers are trying to prevent women from reciving this healthcare, and also trying to avoid having to provide it for them. Some insurance companies try to cheat the system find loop holes in laws requiring employers to provide necessary healthcare to their employees. They are mainly trying to cut off women’s ability to have birth control funded. These are just two out of several major issues in women’s healthcare that will be discussed throughout this informative essay.

After reviewing a few websites I got really into the Planned Parenthood website. It had many topics to choose from and a few videos parents can watch as well. What I liked most about the website is it had some questions certain age groups might ask about sex to their parents and the website provided answers for you. The info that was most useful was to begin talking to your children about sex or sexuality at a very young age. You need to be honest even when your five year old asks where a baby comes from. You just have to be honest in their terms. The website also gave great insight on not having just one big talk about sex with your teen because you do not want to overwhelm them. A big thing for me is talking to your teens about STDs. They

Entering the stage at the American for Prosperity summit in Columbus, Ohio to the song “Eye of the Tiger”, Tea Party sensational Senator Ted Cruz was welcomed to tremendous cheers and applause from over 3,000 activists from around the country.

On March 1, 2017 Barbara Bush, daughter of former President George W. Bush was a keynote speaker at the Fort Worth Annual Luncheon, which raised money for Planned Parenthood. Bush’s participation in this fundraiser drew some backlash from conservatives. Pro-life organizations such as 40 Days for Life and Students for Life of America have all voiced their disapproval to Bush’s speech, however one critic was much more vocal than the others. Franklin Graham, CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, took to Facebook to express his views on Bush’s speech. Franklin Graham has always been very candid on his Facebook account in regards to his personal and political beliefs, most recently stating that all Christians should boycott the new live action Beauty and the Beast remake for including a gay character in the movie (Jenkins).

Birth control has been a divisive issue in America for a long time, starting with the movement to legalize it in the early 1900s to the current complicated legislative landscape. This topic has been met with much opposition, with some citing potential health risks or others feeling wary of the level of government intervention, especially with the Affordable Care Act calling for birth control coverage for physician approved contraceptive methods. With healthcare expenditures rising every year, funding has become a key issue in the birth control conversation. This memo serves to explain H.R. 3134, which aims to cut federal funding to Planned Parenthood (PPFA) for one year, by giving an overview of key birth control legislation, evaluating the bill’s strengths and weaknesses, and concluding with a recommendation to adjust the proposed cancelation of funding PPFA to a reduction of three percent.

For my final project, after spending a great deal of time considering my options, I have chosen to revolve my art piece and written response around Planned Parenthood, and the history of both the repression and violent attacks against the creator, staff, and those who use it as a resource. I chose to do an art piece because I feel that art is a respectful way to state your opinion, without having to worry about the backlash or having the way you feel, be silenced. My art piece is a drawing of a typical office of a Planned Parenthood office, and I have layered it with satirical comments and metaphors throughout.

In 1965, President Johnson said, “Less than five dollars invested in population control is worth a hundred dollars invested in economic growth.” The rise of contraception in the United States, like birth control pill, was controversial, highly debated in courts and law, and once the movement got rolling, it was hard to stop. When a Gallop Poll in 1936 asked if United States citizens favor the birth control movement, 61 percent answered yes. This was a shocking discovery, because until that time contraception seemed like a taboo topic. Today, manufacturing and selling birth control is legal in all 50 states. Family planning services are also now subsidized federal and state governments and nonprofit and private organizations. This nationwide movement enables women to choose when they start families. By allowing women to have the authority to utilize contraception, positive trends have been seen in economic advancement, education attainment and population trends.
