Planned Parenthood is a non-profit organization that provides reproductive health services in the United States and internationally. Each year federal and state governments provide the organization with $528 million in funding (40% of its annual budget).

These active users have achieved a basic understanding of terms and definitions related to the topic of Planned Parenthood Funding
@8XP78363yrs3Y
No, it should be up to the state
@8L6MDFT5yrs5Y
I don't really have a stance on this topic
@9YM9SB66mos6MO
Everything is fine except for abortion treatments. I believe abortion treatments should be self funded.
@9XBPGRC6mos6MO
People who plan out their parenthood should know if they have enough money for a child or children and do not need funding
@9WJG45W7mos7MO
The government should help fund organizations, but those organizations should NOT let any woman that only wants to get an abortion to get one. I believe that if the woman or the child are in danger when giving birth, then that's when the procedure should happen.
@9KBFN391yr1Y
I have concerns about both the Medicaid program and abortions, but I know that Planned Parenthood provides many other important services that improve the community.
@9K9HXJ91yr1Y
Yes, as long as funding is not used to incentivize abortion and is not used for abortion procedures.
@9HHS35T1yr1Y
NO, NO, NO. Planned parenthood is an evil that has overstepped its bounds way beyond the intent when they were first organized. They are agenda driven and their disregard for life is criminal. The government should not give my taxes to them for any reason. Let the free market manage itself. Let parents, parent.
@9H2HQK6Natural Law1yr1Y
yes, they should continue to fund the planned parenthood federation because it's not just this generation they are giving health care and educating people about their own bodies but the next generation after that and maybe it might just stop sexual crimes like rape and assault.
@9GSZ5ZKLibertarian2yrs2Y
Government has no place in health care, if they planned parenthood wants to operate separately, they should have the right to do so. Federal government does not need to be involved.
@9DH4BPB2yrs2Y
no questions at this time
@9D9P92N2yrs2Y
@95YJQYS3yrs3Y
The state government should fund the fund the planned parenthood, if state are allowed to perform abortions.
@95SW74S3yrs3Y
This should be decided by local government after having a vote on issue.
@93DQPRL3yrs3Y
all wanting to have childen should have to pass a test, that shows they are capable parents.
@8ZVMFK53yrs3Y
I believe planned parenthood should be privately funded.

@8XR3R793yrs3Y
Im confused but I know I dont want anything to go to abortion but if we are talking about lie mid lfie clinics then yes we should fund them.
@8XBYN864yrs4Y
Yes, but the majority of the funding needs to go to other things than abortion procedures.
@8X48HP24yrs4Y
Only use for Rape snd not use 24/7
@8WLNZ2F4yrs4Y
No, because they are not funding organizations that are anti-abortion as well.
@8VV2SKY4yrs4Y
Services provided by Planned Parenthood (except abortion) should be covered under a single-payer coverage system.
@8VQPNFQIndependent4yrs4Y
Yes, their services reach far beyond abortions and can save many lives through cancer screening, parental services, and adoption referrals, as long as most of the funding goes to things other than abortion.
@8T9HTX64yrs4Y
Yes, but they should also highly encourage presenting information on the risks of unprotected sex and inform some teens to stay abstinent.
@8T8HKQC4yrs4Y
we have seen roe v wade in our lessons so far and with what we learned how supreme court decisions can be changed or reversed. people need to start taking responsibility for themselves. the place to CHOOSE to have a baby is in the bedroom not an abortion clinic. if you dont want the responsibility dont have intercourse or be EXTRA safe when doing it
@8SSFCF74yrs4Y
yes but only if the family is about to abort their childbirth
@8SSBFDF4yrs4Y
Yes, but not 40% of it's annual budget
@8S79VTQ4yrs4Y
No, the government should not give funds to any organizations that perform abortions or provide contraceptives.
@8SDR7WB4yrs4Y
No, and the government should not give funds to any organizations that perform abortions or provide contraceptives
@8SBLH4Q4yrs4Y
No, the government should stay out of healthcare.
@8RYTX5MWomen’s Equality4yrs4Y
Yes, If and only when it is medically needed like life or death for the mother or if it is rape so you don't have to deal with your rapists' child.
@8QP7M2B4yrs4Y
No, and the government should redirect the funds to the foster care system and adoption facilities.
@8QJJV7P4yrs4Y
Yes and girls get the say in their abortion
@8PBM67CRepublican4yrs4Y
yes, but they need to make sure that the money goes to help the children.
@8MK6WTR5yrs5Y
they should support all families not just people who have planned their family because i was not planned so everyone should have child support!
@8LD27ND5yrs5Y
Yes, and the government should make them show ultra-sound images to patients wanting to get an abortion.
@8KRPKZY5yrs5Y
No and we should make abortion illegal
@8KCJLDZ5yrs5Y
If they fund any organization they should either fund all parenthoods or none.
@8J4HQ9ZLibertarian5yrs5Y
No, Planned Parenthood targets predominately Black Neighborhoods and has a White Supremacist background.
@8HYLJTQ5yrs5Y
The government should assist with those who are carrying a baby due to rape and incest by funding their screenings, abortions, medical bills, etc.
@8HDNT5PRepublican5yrs5Y
I dont have a stance for this
@8G9B6CQ5yrs5Y
The government should fund Planned Parenthood(for ultrasounds, screenings,etc.) but should outlaw abortion.
@8CTNSFJRepublican5yrs5Y
The taking of the unborn's life is abominable and is unconstitutional , One of the first rights mentioned is the right to Life. It's nothing short of satanic and evil. Not to mention the sell infant parts.
@9CHFXZG2yrs2Y
No, but they should invest far more money into the education system for sexual education, so more people are educated on safety.
@97HWFXX3yrs3Y
yes but they should freeze the eggs of girls that get an abortion
@97HBXHX3yrs3Y
Yes, the funding should be used for whatever the parents or parent needs, including abortion.
@8YZH9SW3yrs3Y
No, It should be a plan that one can opt in or out of like a health insurance and anyone can pay for anyone also in this situation.
@8L585TP5yrs5Y
I do not have enough knowledge to form an opinion.
Don't have one on this issue.
@9LBM7SC1yr1Y
Yes, inform people on what the dangers of sex are and how they can protect themselves. Otherwise trashcan babies will become more common.
@8VDGQNV4yrs4Y
I choose not to have an opinion of my own on this topic and leave it to other people to discuss and influence.
@8CR2TN8Republican5yrs5Y
Yes, but only to clinics that do not possess an abortion license.
@B4Y6522Republican3wks3W
Yes, but I also not really fully educated on this topic and not really for sure on what this means but If I were to guess it would to like getting an altra sound to see your baby just to be prepare for the people well being.
