Women's Rights And Planned Parenthood

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

One of the main reasons for the support of defunding is the fact that the clinics perform abortions. Abortion is legal according to the Supreme Court as of 1973 and should not used a reason to support the defunding of Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood was founded in New York City in 1916 as the first birth control center offered to women. The clinics did not start offering abortions until the 1970s when the Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade that “the constitutional right to privacy also applies to a woman’s decision, in consultation with her doctor, to have an abortion” (Planned Parenthood). Also according to Planned parenthood, the court recognized in Roe v. Wade, not only a woman’s constitutional right to choose, but that the state may prohibit an abortion after a certain point in the pregnancy, except when the mother’s life is in danger. Many states do have laws in place that prohibit abortion after a certain number a weeks, which varies from state-to-state. Using abortion as an excuse for defunding of Planned Parenthood is irrelevant because it is legal according to the Supreme Court of the United

There are a lot of cultural beliefs and biases that impact the stance that people choose to take regarding defunding Planned Parenthood. The biggest, and most obvious, belief is religion – namely Christianity. As a Christian myself, I tend to feel perplexed when this issue is brought up, because I know what I believe and how I feel, but I feel as though it is not my place, or the government’s, to get involved in this decision. Most Christians believe that abortion is a huge sin, as you are taking the life of a human away. With that, most have the distorted belief that all Planned Parenthood does is abortions, when it is only three percent of what they do, and it is not funded in any way, shape, or form federally, per a law former President Obama put in place (Parenthood 2017).

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

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

There is an ongoing argument about the funding of Planned Parenthood in the United States. There are many reasons that some people do not want to fund it. One of those reasons is because Planned Parenthood offers abortions to women. There are people who believe that these operations should be shut down to rid our country of abortions. However, Planned Parenthood offers much more than just abortions in their clinics. Planned Parenthood should be funded because of the examinations and resources they provide, the education they give, and because it is a low income health center.

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

As a young woman who is constantly concerned about her wellbeing, I urge you to oppose the H.R. 354: Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2017. The fight for women’s rights has always been a controversial topic dating back to the 19th century, and the services Planned Parenthood offer are very beneficial for women who want to gain essential information increase their life, labor, and learning opportunities in order to live a stronger lifestyle. According to their website, Planned Parenthood has aided 2.5 million patients to health care and if it is defunded it could affect defenseless communities and their wellbeing. Planned Parenthood should continue to be funded because it provides sex education for teenagers and adults, gives women the ability

As society progresses, abortions and their rates continue to increase. For many young women it is a safety cushion and for others it is a shameful memory that they have to live with as a consequence of their own choices. That being said, women shouldn’t resort to Planned Parenthood as a solution; evidence has shown that they are behind some of the most cruelest acts and still continue to be funded by the Government claiming that it is safe, quick, and saves you money. Unfortunately, many Americans see this as a quick fix, however, this organization is associated with inhumane ideas that violates federal laws. If the society we live in is to meet at an agreement where everyone is happy there should be trust; trust from our government and Planned Parenthood to ensure the safety of women. Despite all the “benefits” spread by planned parenthood and their supporters, they have illegally profited by selling baby parts as well as being held accountable for abuse in their clinics, committed illegal partial-birth abortions, and manipulated the abortion procedures along with brutal methods to get the job done. No women or baby should be mistreated or lied to for the sake of making profit, instead, it is time that we open our eyes to the brutality and suffering to bring it to a stop. Save money, save time, and save lives, shutting down Planned Parenthood does matter, and is a

“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:

“Only once women could control their lives, feminists argued, would they be able to fully participate in society as equal as men.”(“State Abortion Laws”). Women would feel less equal to men if they did not have the same right as them to have control over their body. Restricting women to go through the procedure of abortion violates the privacy rights in Roe vs. Wade in 1973(“State Abortion Laws”). Legally the government has no right to take away the right to abortion based on the case. There are also many cases of women being sexually assaulted, and those women should be allowed to abort a child that they did not plan to have. There are many cases of women having unintended pregnancies from rape and incest(“State Abortion Laws”). Taking away this right, will not be beneficial for women who went through these tragic or traumatic events. They do not have to suffer for something someone else did to them. They have already gone through enough, and don’t need to be reminded of their most traumatic event every day. Taking away the rights from planned parenthood violates the law and women’s rights, especially for those with certain

Planned Parenthood is a nonprofit organization that does scientific research into and offers advice on contraception, family planning, and reproductive problems. The organization is also known for offering legal abortion options. (Planned Parenthood at a Glance, 2014.) Recently, a video was released of Planned Parenthood showing the employees talking about selling the fetal tissue from the abortions. The organization is funded by taxpayers dollars, which caused many people to be not happy about the video. The situation caused Congress to question if Planned Parenthood should continue to be funded by the government. (Earll, C. 2015). Defunding this organization would cause many problems for men and women. There are people in our society who cannot afford the correct healthcare they need. The government funding of Planned Parenthood helps low-income families.

Brittany, I understand your viewpoint on this issue about Planned Parenthood. I think that everyone needs to receive the proper care regardless of the situation. The government backs a lot of other goods and programs that have less value in my eyes Planned parenting is a benefit to society. I think that planned parenting can help decrease the abortion rate and reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies. The spillover of unfortunate children receiving health care and assistance is an active movement. To not fund Planned Parenthood would primarily mean telling low-income people that their Medicaid plan not valid for the health care provided by Planned Parenthood (Laguens, 2013). Planned Parenthood gives less fortunate men and women the

The current president said, “I would defund it because of the abortion factor, which they say is three percent. I don't know what percentage it is. They say it's three percent. But I would defund it, because I'm pro-life" (Trump). With that being stated, why do pro-life groups want to defund Planned Parenthood? Pro-life groups have said, “they are the nation’s largest abortion vendor, committing one-third of all abortions, which is equal to about 324,000 per year, or 888 per day” (Hawkins). Pro-lifers do not support abortion and believe it is morally wrong. But that is not the only issue they have with Planned Parenthood.

Abortion is a controversial topic in the United States, causing a split debate on the morality of allowing women to continue aborting babies up until 22 weeks of gestation and the argument that abortion should not be allowed on any circumstances excluding rape, incest or the health of the mother. These situations are complex and many women have strong opinions and they use the terms Prolife or Prochoice to explain their position on the matter. Planned Parenthood is the primary location where women can carry out the termination of their pregnancy. Abortion is always a political issue during election time so the legality of Planned Parenthood is constantly being inspected.
