The Responsibility Of 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

Planned Parenthood is a widely known nonprofit organization. They are the health care provider for millions of people within our nation. When people hear the words Planned Parenthood they automatically assume abortion. Yes, abortion is a service that they offer yet, they deliver much more than that. They deliver and educate us about birth control, cancer, men and women’s sexual health, pregnancy, sexual orientation and offer the Morning-After Pill (emergency contraception) and sexually transmitted disease screenings. Planned Parenthood is a large organization. “Planned Parenthood consists of 159 medical and non-medical affiliates, which operate over 650 health clinics in the United States. It partners with organizations in 12 countries

David Daleiden is the founder of Center of Medical Progress, wrote on Facebook that the agents "seized all video footage showing Planned Parenthood's criminal trade in aborted baby parts, in addition to my personal information."

Just wanted to listen to a song on youtube when a Rand Paul commercial came up talking about Planned Parenthood and how they sell aborted babies body parts. Normally I would just shake my head and move on but I just can't believe people actually believe this shit. First of all, they do not sell body parts or organs. They receive tissue donations for science from the women that choose to do so. This has been legal since 1993. In fact, Mitch McConnell, Lamar Smith and Fred Upton all voted to pass that very bill all of whom have been condemning Planned Parenthood for doing exactly what they voted for. This fight to shut down funding for Planned Parenthood and the services they provide would be detrimental to so many people. They provide STD screenings

The viability of a fetus is when a person determines if a fetus/child is able to obtain life. Also, when born alive the child will be killed in a partial birth ultimately throwing the Born Alive Infant Act established in August 5th, 2002 out the window. In a “Show trial” on September 9th, 2015, James Bopp, representing Planned Parenthood, was asked by Trey Gowdy, representative from South Carolina, “What exactly is a partial birth abortion?” Bopp explained that “Partial birth abortions defined under federal law is when a physician partially delivers the trunk of the baby leaving the head in the birth canal the baby is alive then the physician takes an act to kill the baby and finishes the delivery.” Bopp also goes on to say “In that situation you simply do not know until later [whether the right medical decision has been made].” and “I haven't heard any person who works in abortion clinics able to make that fine and complex decision.” This is ultimately a decision to determine life which no person has the right to make (Trey Gowdy Grills Witnesses). On May 23rd, 2013 the question was raised to Alisa Lapolt Snow, representing Planned Parenthood making the statement “That the decision of life should be left up to the patient and the health care provider.” Representative Jose Oliva asked, “I think at that point the patient would be a child struggling on the table wouldn't you agree?”(SHOCKING Florida Hearing). This could not be more true when a abortion is failed, your patient by law ultimately becomes the child struggling for life on the

Unlike NFPRHA, they don’t focus so much on families but the community. They cover general health care, mens sexual health, sexual orientation and gender. Planned Parenthood provides general health care services by location. Some locations offer anemia testing, chloestrol screening, diabetes screening, physical exams for employment and sports, thyroid screening, flu vaccinations, help quitting with smoking, tetanus vaccinations and high blood pressure screening. I think it’s really important that Planned Parenthood state that on their website. A lot of people, myself including, believe they only provide specific services for women. Unfortnatuely, Planned Parenthood has the stereotype that they only provide abortions. Lately, Planned Parenthood has received negative media attention regarding the disposal of fetal tissue after a performed abortion. What I believe many people don’t realize is that Planned Parenthood provides so many more services than just abortion. In particular, I enjoy that they discusse body image and provide counseling at various locations. Today’s media produces images of what they believe is an ideal body type. Planned Parenthood encourages women to have body confidence. This organization discusses the effects of having a negative body image can do. Having a negative outlook can affect a ladies mental health. Planned Parenthood lists the negative

Planned Parenthood Federation of America or the PPFA provides healthcare for millions of men and women across the globe. They provide many reproductive services and they have offices all around the globe. They have sex education information to help inform people of the risks some actions, like sex, can lead to and how to be safe. Many people think planned parenthood should be defended, but Planned Parenthood should continue to be funded because they provide safe abortion services, STD testing which includes treatment as well, along with women’s health care services.

The demonization of Planned Parenthood agencies has been in progress since the 1900’s. Even though abortion has been legalized with the 1973 Roe v. Wade court case, year after year there are attacks on clinics in hopes of shutting the organization down. In 1997 two clinics in Georgia were bombed, in 1998 more than 20 acid attacks were recorded, arson attacked plagued clinics across the country in the 2000s, and most recently murder and attempted murder occurred at the

If Republicans generalized the shooter at Planned Parenthood like they do with one who is a POC, they'd be the ones who should "wear ID badges."

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 recent controversy over the pro-choice group The Center for Medical Progress alleging that Planned Parenthood is involved in the sale of aborted fetal tissue has catalyzed legislation to defund Planned Parenthood all across the nation. In the United States, abortion rights are a rather polarizing issue. This being the case, various media sources are prone toward writing biased articles reporting on the current Planned Parenthood controversy. The articles either had a mostly left leaning or right leaning view toward the issue. Only one article that I chose, from the BBC News, gave a largely neutral account of the controversy over these videos. The weight of the implications of defunding Planned Parenthood is significant because it affects

Even though the charges have been dropped and investigation is over with, Texas Governor. Greg Abbott still wants to check into it and keep up with the group. Representative Diane Black, a representative in Tennessee, called the charges against the Planned Parenthood “senseless.” Daleiden was apparently the lead person over the videos that were taped over the summer. The videos were edited and contained footage that did not even have aborted fetuses at all. In one video a still-born child was used. During this month, Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit against the Center for Medical Progress saying that they lied their way into the recorded meeting and set up fake company and personal identities. Also included in the lawsuit was wire and mail fraud, invasion of privacy, illegal secret recording and

Planned Parenthood is a huge provider for women, teens, and families. According to their website they describe themselves as, “…leading providers of high quality, affordable health care for women, men, and young people, and the nation’s largest provider of sex education” (Planned Parenthood, 2015). They have about 700 health centers around the United States, which cater to both men and women. They are open all year long and they have outreach to more than five million women, men, and adolescents worldwide. They provide them with birth control, counseling, breast exams, STDs testing, etc. Planned Parenthood is a nonprofit organization to the public, which has eight million activists, supporters, and donors working for women’s health and safety and our fundamental reproductive rights according to their website. This organization cares for their patients and only three

Imagine standing in your bathroom looking down at a pregnancy test that shows two lines and sadly, your parents would never accept this. Many women in the world become pregnant at a young age and have no one to go, so the question is where do they go? Planned parenthood is known for helping women all over the world with any type of sexual problem they may be going through. I, myself actually visited planned parenthood when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter and now knowing what they do, I have nothing but support. Every year they provide services to 2.5 million patients which include pregnancy tests, breast exams, HIV tests, and so on. I strongly believe planned parenthood is beneficial for everyone because they provide breast exams which save lives, they provide support or help with pregnancy, and they help check for STD’s.

Planned Parenthood is a government-funded not-for-profit organization providing quality community healthcare by licensed clinicians. Providing services
