Planned Parenthood is a non-profit organization that provides reproductive health services in the United States and internationally. In 2014, federal and state governments provided the organization with $528 million in funding (40% of its annual budget). The majority of this funding comes from Medicaid which subsidizes reproductive healthcare for low-income women. In 2014, abortions accounted for 3% of the services they provided. The majority of the other services include screening for and treating sexually transmitted diseases and infections and providing contraception. Proponents of funding argue that federal funding for Planned Parenthood does not pay for abortions and that the vast majority of government funding that the organization receives is through Medicaid reimbursements. Opponents of funding argue that the government should not fund any organizations that provide abortions.
No, for the simple fact that they were known for the sterilization of women of color.

No. Planned parenthood is a racist eugenics organization that was created to eliminate all black people from the earth by legally murdering their babies.
Planned Parenthood isn’t simply for abortions. My mom had 5 miscarriages before having me. Those cost $10,000 each unless you want to pee out a dead baby, which is very traumatizing. Planned Parenthood makes things like that more affordable as well as birth control, which I use to regulate my periods and save myself from cramps. Before birth control, some cramps were so bad I missed weeks of school and had to be hospitalized. If you take away the idea of Planned Parenthood entirely, it makes like living hell for women who have these struggles.

Yes and sterilize people on welfare

If tax dollars go to abortion clinics, then the tax dollars allocated should be split with half going to abortion clinics, and half going to adoption agencies.
if u care so much about the children in orphanges, go adopt a child. save a child whoś physically breathing, who can feel and think and is struggling in the system. dont worry about some cells that arent even in your body but in another womans and you just feel entitled to tell her its wrong.
@6DCJNSZRepublican12mos
No - there are other ways that people get funding for the cancer screening, prenatal services, etc... ever heard of Obamacare?? WIC?? Welfare?? Food Stamps??
yes, women should be able to do whatever they want with their body, many people say i dont have tp get the vaccination and they say its their body their choice so why arent woman allowed to do what they want with their body.
I don't have an idea about that.
Yes but only for certain indevidiuals
I believe that abortions are wrong except in the case that someone is raped, sexually assaulted, or it is a danger to the mother, then they should have the option to do so
@9XMVPNKTranshumanist2 days
Yes, but funding for abortion should only go towards victims of rape, incest, or pregnant women with a medical reason to terminate the pregnancy.

Not of much thought or concern
I think that as many people say that it is a women's choice her body, I disagree with that statement because if that child came out and was a day old and the mother decides she wants to abort it then that is murder because that baby has a life has a heartbeat but truly a fetus starts forming within the first 12 weeks which is when most women find our they are pregnant. So that baby is very much alive. It is murder so why are we funding it.

I am Catholic so cannot support abortion so do not want my tax dollars to pay for any abortion. Also Planned Parenthood donated $45,000,000.00 dollars towards abortion rights candidates in the 2020 election cycle - it seems to me that they do not need additional money from the government if they can just give it away like this

The government should fund a new health program that is free of corruption. With checks and balances in place to ensure the illegal selling of fetal organs and tissue can be curtailed.
I don't have a full idea on this ...
Planned parenthood still charges those who's income level doesn't qualify. And Obamacare should cover any of these treatments minus the abortions. Funding can be minimized for this program.
I feel like they should to a point like people could take full advantage of this and have several children and get loads of money, and or they shouldn't because the baby could die before it is born and the parents wouldn't have a child. Bottom line they should as long as there is a limit to how many children can be counted for this and should be taken place as soon as the baby is born.
No, they should be funded by those who use their services within a restructured health-care system, as well as permitted to function as regional providers by traveling between unassociated private clinics on a bi-weekly basis.
No, birth should become a more impactful and thought about ordeal and instead we should just promote safe sex.
They should but abortions should be scarcely done and only allowed under certain circumstances.
No because it is evil, as the majority of the abortions preformed there are on black women, and they have been recored selling aborted baby remains
We should just work in cornfields and go back to digging dirt by hands. That way with the government, he's not only doing that but helps if all cars, devices, and electric powered things were gone off the face of the earth. That way we have family just taking care of each other with herbal medicines from the garden.
Yes, but all abortions should be approved by court of law
Government needs to stop being so nosey, I think planned parenthood should be a privately funded institution.
The government should ban any and a abortions. They should physically penalize anyone who gets an abortion. I would support using the death penalty on those who perform and get abortions.
No, the governments should stop funding this and advocated the rights of the child.
Yes, as long as it does not fund ALL abortion procedures. There is some cases of abortion that I agree with
Yes but keep the services female centric rather than place so much emphasis on gender identity and transgeder issues and transing children, teens, and young adults
I don't really give a damn
I don't really have a opinion on this
It should only be for people that want it.
i don't really understand this
If you put youreslf in a situation where you get an STD or STI you can handle it yourself and abortions are not always a required medical procedures don't get one if you don't need it
I don't think the government should support Planned Parenthood because some money is used towards abortions. I think they should start a new program that gets does all the same as planned parenthood without abortions and fund it.
Yes, as long as funding is not used for abortion procedures unless the mothers life is endangered or the child will have a birth defect
Overhaul it and drop the abortion part.
Yes, but reduce the amount
No, requiring a portion of all tax payer money to fund organizations like Planned Parenthood violates the First Amendment rights of many tax payers. This is the United States. Aren’t we supposed to have majority rule while protecting the rights of the minority?
They should fund for rape,incest, or danger to the mother or child.
as long as abortion isn't being abused because people can't take responsibility for having sex
I do not have a say.
No, and abortion should be illegal excepting risk to the mother's life
yes because they help with many other things and abortions are the women's choice and right and they should not be decided by other people due to their religon instead of the persons who's body the fetus is in
Yes, but funds going to abortion must only be used in the case of rape victims, not irresponsible adults/teens.
