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.
