Three percent of Planned Parenthood’s patients in the year 2105 went there for an abortion. Since Donald Trump does not agree with three percent of what this helpful, non-profit organization does, he has promised that when he takes office, it will be defunded by the government, who is Planned Parenthood’s leading donor by a landslide. Does Donald Trump know he would have nearly no supporters if people just dropped him because they did not agree with three percent of every single thing he says or does? Planned Parenthood has been around for 100 years and has helped many women, old and young, with affordable health care. Whether it be for PAP tests, breast exams, contraceptives, or even a young teen going in to learn about preventative health …show more content…

Donald Trump believes, “‘banning all federal taxpayer funding of abortions will save the lives of over one million Americans from abortions’”(Steven). This statement is false and inaccurate. Instead of those women going and getting an abortion safely carried out at Planned Parenthood, she will go get an abortion in a more dangerous way ultimately putting her life at risk too, which will lead to higher deaths. As Taylor Jacobs said in the article on the Odyssey online, “ Regardless of your personal opinions regarding abortions, it is not possible to stop every woman from getting the procedure if they are unprepared to have a child, no matter what programs are defunded. Thousands of women die from unsafe abortions per year and defunding Planned Parenthood would make getting an abortion even more difficult and likely increase the numbers of deaths.” Jacobs clearly sums up the perfect argument against what Trump was trying to say. We live in America; land of the free, home of the brave. Why turn our brave young women into fearful people by taking away our

With the attack on Planned Parenthood and regarding the video scandal which blew Planned Parenthood in the spotlight once again, is the problem its self that checking the facts are number one. People are so quick to see a video about an unborn child and act, without checking the facts.

1 out of 5 every 5 American women have visited a PPH at least once, Which is a big number of women if you think about it. Many will oppose me and bring up how we should defund planned parenthood because they still perform abortions which, in religious terms, is morally wrong. But defunding Planned Parenthood threatens millions of men and women's chances of any health care. It also won't stop abortions, it will encourage the practice of at-home abortions or them being performed by someone who isn't licensed. The money Planned Parenthood gets from the government doesn't even go towards abortions.

In light of the recent “controversy” surrounding Bernie Sanders and Planned Parenthood, I feel that it’s necessary to point out the mans incredibly consistent record in support women’s issues and the right to choose. Bernie Sanders is a staunch believer in the fact that women should have the fundamental right to control their bodies when it comes to sexual and reproductive health. He’s received both a 0 percent rating from The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), and a 100 percent rating from NARAL Pro-Choice America. According to The NRLC, Sanders has voted against the pro-life position more than 100 times in his federal legislative career. Let me just quote a couple of things that The NRLC notes about Sanders pro-choice

For years republicans have been trying to defund Planned Parenthood, and at this moment in history, they are closer towards their goal than ever. With a republican majority senate, and a republican as president, the fight to defund Planned Parenthood only faces minimal resistance. Republicans, more specifically the Trump Administration, like to hide behind their religious beliefs and values when it comes to their ideas regarding Planned Parenthood. They tend to only focus aspects that they disagree with while paying no mind to the good that Planned Parenthood does. These republicans that are working to defund Planned Parenthood and oppose Planned Parenthood so strongly tend to only focus on the belief that defunding Planned Parenthood would

According to the WHO, there are an estimated 40-50 million abortions every year around the globe. The dictionary definition for abortion is ‘the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy’, and people usually very absolutist about their stances regarding this topic. The two sides of the argument are those who are pro-choice or pro-life. The pro-choice side argue that it is the free will of the parent/s to decide on how to handle the pregnancy as unplanned pregnancies could mean a detrimental life for both the parent/s and the baby as the parent/s may not have the resources to support and take care of the baby, or are not ready for such big change and responsibility. On the other hand, the pro-life side argue that life begins at conception

The defunding would leave women and men without health insurance due to not being able to afford it which would lead to no birth control and screenings needed to remain healthy. Also, defunding of Planned Parenthood would be a big mistake because the organization provides services for approximately 2.6 million women. Medicaid would help with cost of having babies and women with young children who qualify for welfare, but what about the services that Medicaid does not offer to men and women who do qualify for Medicaid or welfare. According to statistics, the federal government budget is 3.3 trillion and Planned Parenthood only gets 500 million, which is a drop in a bucket. The legislators have become insensitive to the needs of the less fortunate when it comes to the health and welfare of citizens.

Planned Parenthood is able to provide these free services because of the 500 million dollars they receive from government funding yearly. Planned Parenthood has two main offices; one in New York and one in Washington D.C. but has health centers all over the country. The Planned Parenthood Action Fund has many pros and cons; it is a controversial policy due to how much money they receive from the government and where it goes, and it is also a heated topic for many Democrats and Republicans; many Republican presidential candidates, like Ted Cruz and Carly Fiorina, want to defund and get rid of Planned Parenthood Action Fund. Whether to keep funding or to defund the program is a problem considered by people and politicians and there are many reasons for both

Finally, and this is the most distressing fact about the Trump campaign is that even though all the beliefs and statements above could just be plain talk and not action as many politicians do and he himself has not hurt anyone yet physically; the news is filled with the pain his supporters have caused and yet Trump says nothing! Even when one of the former Republican Nominees John McCain was asked about the rumour that Obama is Muslim, he responded by saying “No ma’am he is a good Christian man, it is just that we disagree on the fundamentals.” When Trump is asked this however, instead he smiles and encourages the lie. Furthermore when it came to his attention that one of his supporters beat a homeless man who is from Mexico senseless and then continue to urinate on him; instead of denouncing them Donald Trump simply smiles and comments that his “Supporters are definitely passionate.” Overall it is imperative that we as a nation should stop Trump before it becomes even more dangerous as he, breaks the constitution, has eccentric ideas that cannot be implemented and encourages violence from his supporters.

By being a provider and educator, the organization has created a reputation as a safe, reliable source that many individuals can depend on for their health. Nearly 4 of 10 Americans are reliant on such programs and up to 25% of Planned Parenthood patients would be completely without medical insurance if the organization was defunded. Defunding Planned Parenthood was an effort put into effect in Texas of 2011 where it proved to be disastrous for both healthcare providers and their patients. The two-year budget for Planned Parenthood was cut from $111 million to $38 million, which resulted in 82 clinics closing, reduced services and supplies, and ultimately an upcharge for what was available. This resulted in a 36% decrease in IUDs and other implants and a 31% decrease in injectable contraceptives, all because it was limited, too expensive, or too difficult to receive (Willingham).

Planned Parenthood is a National issue fighting for abortion access, giving women facing an unintended pregnancy must have access to safe, legal abortion services. Birth control and the fact all people deserve access to birth control and other preventive care, health care equality and the idea all people should have equal access to reproductive health care. For years politicians in Congress and statehouses across the country have attacked Planned Parenthood’s patients’ access to care. But I believe Planned Parenthood’s health centers provide high quality, affordable reproductive health care, to 2.4 million people across the country. When politicians talk about defunding Planned Parenthood, they really mean depriving patients who depend on public

Conservatives have long argued the Planned Parenthood and reproductive health centers like it should be cut off… from federal funding. The latest proposal was announced by Trump administration. The rule would cut off Title X funding to Planned Parenthood and other centers unless they stop providing abortions or referring people. “This proposal does not necessarily defund Planned Parenthood, as long as their willing to disentangle taxpayer funds from abortion as a method of family planning.” A Trump official said.

Fortunately, Trump knows what is in the heart of his supporters and he can say exactly what they want to hear from their preferred candidate. Donald’s audience consists substantially of working-class whites and he holds a strong grip on voters without a college education. At first, many are skeptical of Trump because of the supporters he tends to attract, like David Duke (former Ku Klux Klan Imperial Wizard), but his audience is one of the strongest and most dedicated group seen in recent history. Trump’s supporters highly value job security and feel as if the increase in immigration is directly affecting their employment opportunities and economy. Donald Trump’s rigid policies on immigration and promises of securing our borders is fiercely supported by many Republican supporting him.
