Planned Parenthood Argumentative Analysis

Lately it feels like every time politics is brought up a war zone breaks out. Social media has become a main platform for people to express their views and opinions to their friends and families. It also has given the same people the ability to verbally attack their friends and families for their differing political views and opinions. So much so that now when someone wants to ask me personally my positioning on these matters gives me an automatic headache. Not because I do not enjoy discussing it, but because I do not feel comfortable confining myself into one political party. I grew up in a republican house. My parents have always showed up to the polling stations and they believe FOX news is the most credible/valuable news source there is. …show more content…

Planned Parenthood has been targeted by conservative due to controversy over abortion. I am pro-choice. I believe that it is the woman’s choice and only her choice whether or not she carry’s out a pregnancy or not. I personally would not be able to get one myself, but that is why it would be my choice. Pro-choice is not pro-abortion. It simply supports that your body is your body and no one should tell you what you can or can’t do to it. America was built on the base idea that church and state should be separate, but a lot of conservative reasoning for their pro-life arguments tends to be linked to religious reasons. I consider myself to be a very religious person, but I understand that my religion should not have a seat at the table when discussing governmental matters. Planned Parenthood gave women, who otherwise would not have been able to afford it, reliable healthcare. Not to mention that majority of patients from Planned Parenthood are minorities and lower class citizens. The people who are against federal funded health care facilities seem to only be upper class groups who either have great insurance or are so rich it doesn’t even matter. Planned Parenthood services includes cancer screenings, STD checks, and other general healthcare options. Abortions make up an extremely small percent of Planned Parenthood’s services, and the small percent that goes to abortions is not under federal aid. The argument that tax payers were paying for women to get abortions was/is completely

As the movement gained momentum so did the demand for birth control, sex education, family planning and the repeal of all abortion laws. On January 22, 1973 the Supreme Court handed down the Roe v. Wade decision which declared abortion "fundamental right.” The ruling recognized the right of the individual “to be free from unwanted governmental intrusion into matters so fundamentally affecting a person as the right of a woman to decide whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.” (US Supreme Court, 1973) This federal-level ruling took effect, legalizing abortion for all women nationwide.

    Abortion is a one of the most controversial issues in this country, and those who aren’t in favor, or pro-life, think that is morally wrong, and because of that reason they believe that the government should no longer fund Planned Parenthood. Those who oppose Planned Parenthood argue that their tax dollars are paying for these abortions by the organization by the government funding them and they claim that isn’t right. Another reason would be that abortion is the main service they profit from and focus on, and because of that they should be defunded. Others argue that even though funding does not directly go to abortion services provided by Planned Parenthood, that it frees up money from other services to be directed to abortions (Rovner). There has been progress for these groups, for they have lobbied state and national government, which has, lead some legislators to propose legislation that reduces or expelling funding in certain states.

    Zero taxpayer money goes directly to support abortion. In fact, directly providing taxpayer dollars to support abortion would be a violation of several laws including House Energy and Commerce Committee bill, H.R. 3200, and the Hyde Amendment. The later has specifically blocked Medicaid funds from being used for abortion services regardless of whether a women’s health is at risk or the procedure is recommended by a physician.

Since abortions are performed at Planned Parenthood health care centers using non-government provided funds, these abortions will continue to be performed even if Planned Parenthood is defunded by the
