Argumentative Essay On Planned Parenthood

Planned Parenthood's main goal has been focusing on preserving womens rights and the protection of their bodies. American women will soon face the struggles and fears of losing their main healthcare provider if the government removes federal support to these clinics. Planned Parenthood is necessary not only for its affordable healthcare benefits but it is also necessary because it creates a safe place for women to understand the things happening in their bodies.
