Agree

Yes, their services reach far beyond abortions and can save many lives through cancer screening, prenatal services, and adoption referrals

Johnson's 'Great Society' programs demonstrated a commitment to improving health and welfare through government intervention. He may have agreed with the idea of funding Planned Parenthood for its non-abortion services, but it's difficult to say for certain due to the lack of historical evidence.

Yes, as long as funding is not used for abortion procedures

Johnson's views on abortion are not well-documented, but his administration did not take steps to limit access to abortion.

Neutral

Disagree

No, and the government should not give funds to any organizations that perform abortions

While Johnson's views on abortion are not well-documented, his administration did not take steps to limit access to abortion. However, the issue of abortion was less politically charged during his presidency than it is today, so it's difficult to say how he would have responded to this specific issue.
