With planned parenthood comes controversy, and opinions range from pro-abortion and anti-planned parenthood, to being against both. But Sarah Torre gives seven good reasons planned parenthood should not be given government funding. According to Torre, Planned parenthood pushes abortions, instead of education about precautionary measures. They oppose laws that protect women and children, and they only care about their profit, and they don't even provide the best care.

Planned Parenthood isn't just about abortions. Defunding Planned Parenthood doesn't just effect abortions as many Republicans and "pro-life" activist would like to think. Planned Parenthood provides birth control, breast exams, pap-smears, and sexual education classes. And get this, government funding isn't even used for abortions in the first place!

Planned Parenthood offers more diverse health-care than just abortions. Planned Parenthood provides essential medical practices to women who could not otherwise afford them. The fight against this establishment is only scaling the top of this issue. This is not a fight against supporting abortion, this is a fight to keep women feeling safe with knowing they have a place to turn when they need medical assistance.

Focuses of the amount it would cost the government to completely get rid of Planned Parenthood. Many countries besides the U.S have Planned Parenthood clinics where there are no other option for women that cannot afford medical care to get the services they need.

The unwanted pregnancies and births that abolishing Planned Parenthood would bring, will only end up costing the government more in the long-run. This action would also take away an essential health care provider for women with no other options.

Defunding planned parenthood would end up costing the government more in the end. Since planned parenthood does more than just abortions through their organization it would cause health care for women aside from abortions to be taken away from them. Therefore that can present a huge problem in the future if that were to happen.

A big part of planned parenthood is the abortion aspect. It's more than just that. About 3% of people that go through them are there for abortions. The most popular part of planned parenthood is the contraception which makes up about 33%. People should have the options that planned parenthood gives you. Someone out there has too give people the services they provide and taking away the funding isn't right.

As we all know, Planned Parenthood is at risk of losing funding due to an undercover act by a man named David Daleiden. As the on going investigation of Daleiden calmes that Planned Parenthood illegally selling fetal tissue, a Huston grand jury was cleared of any wrong doing, on the 23rd of November, 2015. What some or all may not know is that Planned Parenthood has filed a federal lawsuit stating that it was an act of "illegal secret recording and trespassing, mail fraud, and invasion of privacy". Although many may argue that Daleiden was only exercising our first Amendment right.

congress voted another time to take away funds to planned parenthood. Reimbursing members and abortion included in the plan are big reasons why.

Planned Parenthood is once again being voted on whether to stay funded or to be defunded. The house of reps is expected to pass a bill that will about 450 million out of planned parenthood. The Govt. has not funded the abortion side of planned parenthood since 1976, so some Democrats criticize them.

On Monday, a grand jury in Harris County, Tex., went a step further. Though it was convened to investigate Planned Parenthood, it indicted two members of the group that made the videos instead. (Not my words).

Many people see planned parenthood as an organization that has been taking money from the government to fund abortions among many other issues. It's thought that this shouldn't be the case because there are so many other health care services in the states that provide the same services as well as many more services too. The break down of some of the expenses show why continuing to fund planned parenthood would not be the best solution for the tax payers money.

Since the choice to abort is one of the biggest reasons why people want to defund planned parenthood it is being looked at as more of a moral decision. The way democrats and republicans feel on this topic is completely different therefore has been making it harder to make the decision on it. Defunding planned parenthood for this reason would basically be taking away a women's right to choose.

I agree with your statement. It should ultimately be a women's choice and not let politicians decide a woman's decision. Everyone has a right to decide what is best for them without controversies and looking down at.

WASHINGTON - House Republicans vented their rage against Planned Parenthood on Friday, voting to block all federal financing for the organization, which they accused of profiting from the sale of aborted fetuses for medical research.

Family-planning programs boost incomes, reduce poverty, and ease the load on America's safety net. And yet, Republicans can't seem to condemn them strongly enough. Investing in reproductive health isn't just good for women and their families-it's good for the economy. (nmw)

If planned parenthood were to be defunded, it is predicted that the government would end up spending more in the long run on public assistance. Planned parenthood provides many services for women, one of them being birth control. Statistics in this article show that women who used birth control were easily able to finish school, find jobs, and create a steady life before having children. Defunding this organization would cost America more money in the bigger scheme of things.

The author believes planned parenthood is positive. It boosts the economy because those women have the chance to plan their pregnancies and prevent unwanted ones.

Choosing abortion is not a choice any woman is excited about or wants to choose but sometimes it is the only option. "Ending Planned Parenthood goes against the fundamental values of equality, mutual respect, and human rights that our country stands for."

The videos that surfaced of Planned Parenthood officials speaking of the collection of fetal tissue is unsettling, however this practice is not illegal. While I am not sure how ethical Planned Parenthood's practices are in collecting the tissue, I know that the researching of the tissue could provide many cures that humans are in desperate need of.
