Mike DeBonis for the Washington explains in House votes to defund Planned Parenthood, but will that help avert a shutdown? the events that occurred in the House.

Planned Parenthood is supported by 47% of Americans (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/planned-parenthood-favorable-rating_560aab72e4b0768126ff261a) Yet we see a majority of the House pushing for these acts that go against the favorable opinion of the entity. Similarities are seen when colonist ask for representation. In an assembly, some of the more powerful colonists came together to speak to England about their love for England but the lack of representation was unfair. In both situations, we see the controversy appeased, but neither get what they desire. Neither get the equal representation they are asking for but do get a stepping stone to make that …show more content…

“The 2012 Project is a national, non-partisan campaign determined to address this recruit, train and mentor women candidates. Why does it matter if women have a voice in politics? Clearly, because women 's specific rights and interests are not protected otherwise.” This quote provides perfect insight into what women would be more invested in that men would otherwise disregard because they aren’t as involved. Second, we need our current politicians to listen to our voices. If an overwhelming 47% (a 16% net cushion) agree with the funding of a group, why would then go against the people you are meant to represent. Lastly, as citizens, those who should vote should use their power to find representatives that express their feelings properly. Unlike the colonists, we have the ability of proper representation and voter apathy is simply not a feasible solution in this day and age. So I believe a viable option includes a general push for women politicians and politicians properly representing the ideologies American’s

Susan G. Komen (SGK) is one of the most influential non-profit organizations in terms of its effort in championing their cause. We have been given the task to help rebuild their image, and offer our recommendations on how to regain public trust and support. After the defunding of Planned Parenthood (PP) and its mismanagement of dissemination of information and response, the question that strikes us was why Planned Parenthood responded to the news and actions of SGK negatively. Despite the fact that it is true, that PP was under federal investigation for mismanagement of funds. Based on the knowledge we gain from analyzing scholarly article, video recommendations and records of communication between SGK, PP and the public, our group propose

As such, the presence of 45 women in the legislature is noteworthy. This exploratory case study examines the experiences of women serving in the Pennsylvania General Assembly, presenting results from a database of basic information about each legislator and several interviews with female legislators. The findings indicate that these women were encouraged to run for their current seats primarily by having the support of their families and political parties, by the availability of open seats, and by developing confidence in their qualifications through a politicized upbringing.   Introduction Somebody once said that it’s not that women see things differently; they see different things. My life experiences as a mother, a daughter, as a sister

Politics may seem like a whole different world to us, but those who participate in running our country have the same struggles. “A Woman In the House (and Senate)” by Ilene Cooper is one of many “movements” that are in attempt to assist America's understanding the rights and roles of women in society. This book provides the reader with plenty of instances where women were forced to stumble on their climb to the top. Some of my personal favorites are when a congresswoman was seen as half of a person and had to share a seat, when a female representative couldn’t attend an awards dinner because it was hosted at a men’s club, and of course, when womenfolk as a whole were not granted the right to vote until 1920. It’s hard to imagine what it would feel like to be held back because of your gender, but the publication also highlights the achievements of these women during their time in the Senate or House of Representatives.

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

The Right to Abortion On January 22, 1973, in a 7-2 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down it’s landmark decision in the case of Roe v. Wade, which recognized that the constitutional right to privacy extends to a woman’s right to make her own personal medical decisions — including the decision to have an abortion without interference from politicians (Planned Parenthood). There are many moments in history when Roe v. Wade has been so close to being overturned, yet it is still in place. Abortion should stay legal, or not overturned, for the health of women everywhere. First, this important case took place at the time of abortion being illegal in most states, including Texas, where Roe v. Wade began.

While Planned Parenthood itself does not get any money directly from the government, it could still be “defunded” in another way. A bill could be passed that would decrease or stop Title X funding and Medicaid reimbursement to sexual and reproductive health centers such as Planned Parenthood. Since these centers perform abortions, many government officials who oppose them are in favor of the proposed bill (Silver and Kapadia 1040). The eventual result would be Planned Parenthood getting shut down (“Facts & Figures”) which would have a negative impact on a large population. More specifically, Planned Parenthood receives reimbursements because of people who rely on programs like Title X and Medicaid (“Facts & Figures”).

Women should not be belittled or objectified just because they are females. In fact women are strong, brilliant, and accomplished individuals who deserve to be in positions of power. Our appearance should not dictate our capabilities. Therefore, if we are able to create more awareness through campaigns and education we will be able to reduce the sexism and discrimination toward women and create an actual democratic society not where the majority is men. If we are able to frame this issue in a way that resonates with others then we will be able to recruit more individuals and create a social movement powerful enough to stop or at least minimize the dehumanization of women.

The argument is that real equal opportunity does not exist just because formal barriers are removed. Direct discrimination and a complex pattern of hidden barriers prevent women from being selected as candidates and getting their share of political influence (McCann, 2013). The argument is based on the experience that equality as a goal cannot be reached by formal equal treatment as a means. If barriers exist, compensatory measures must be introduced as a means to reach equality of result. Therefore, quotas and other measures intended to increase the level of women’s political participation are regarded as a means towards an equality of results, or at least a real opportunity for an equal number of women and men candidates to meet the voters (Dahlerup,
