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). 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.

@9VDZP6R 8mos8MO
yes, but there should be a decrease in the percentage that is funded while looking for alternative to make up that deficit.
@9TDH5VQIndependent9mos9MO
Non-specific question, state and local judiciaries should be able to fund Planned Parenthood services local to the area, but the federal government shouldn't as this oversteps the Dobbs ruling.
@9QB6K79Independent11mos11MO
No, Planned Parenthood should be funded at the state and municipal level depending on the level of service needed
@9HVWM4Q1yr1Y
No one should be able to tell anyone what they should do with their own bodies. Honestly, I don't understand why people care so much about a woman to haVing an Abortion
@9HLCMSYRepublican1yr1Y
yes and use the fetus for stem cell research or babies that need body parts like a body shop but for babies
@9DG7QPS2yrs2Y
If someone should decide to have an abortion that is their choice, yet I do not believe the government should fund planned parenthood, but I do not think it should be illegal. Everyone is entitled to their choice.
@9B2K892Libertarian2yrs2Y
no planned parenthood should be demolished because of its history
@93LF768Independent3yrs3Y
No, if the government is going to give funds they should be distributed equally to all organizations
@92JKL7P3yrs3Y
Yes, I don’t like the idea of abortion, but Planned Parenthoods' services do far more than just abortions, so the government should continue to fund it.
@8YS53CC3yrs3Y
Should be handled by the states
@8YGQQ3P3yrs3Y
I believe that taxpayers get to delegate where their tax money goes, rather than the government decide for us.
they should let people do what they want and help fund people who have children
@8XSNC973yrs3Y
i think that they should fund all parenthood
@8XSFLDZ3yrs3Y
I don't really know, maby
@8XKNQSLWomen’s Equality4yrs4Y
yes and they should pay for unplanned parenthood too
@8X3G7ZX4yrs4Y
Yes, Just as long as it doesn't affect any private infrastructures that potentially provide the same service.
@8VH4664Independent4yrs4Y
I am for it before a certain amount of time, like they have 4 months or so to decide if they want abortion or not, but after 4 months I am against it because after that point the embryo is basically now a child
@8SRVKRYRepublican4yrs4Y
Yes, if they reform the company to actually help all women including prenatal care
@8R6BQBPIndependent4yrs4Y
The government should fund as long as it is used for sexual crimes that have occured or if the female is not healthy enough to go through the pregnancy.
Funding should stop going towards planned parenthood because some americans do not support abortion, but the funding should be going towards prevention, contraceptives, and more sex education in schools.
@Linzielulu4yrs4Y
No, taxpayers dollars shouldn’t go to one of the issues at the top of the “division” list. Your body, your choice— your cost. That’s right.
@8HLF22S5yrs5Y
Don’t know what Planned Parenthood is
It depends on how helpful this organization really is and how the people who run it are as humans
@97XQ3K33yrs3Y
For all help given other than abortion, I would agree that government funding could support this, but it would probably be best that private, non-government funded non-profits be the means of providing finances for abortions. I do not support the choice of abortion or that the government is responsible for funding them.
@97TSMSH3yrs3Y
Yes, as long as funding is not used for abortion procedures, and they should increase help for unplanned pregnancies
@8SJN2C74yrs4Y
Yes, but there should be constant investigations into people using this system as to make sure no one is taking advantage of it or other individuals
@8HQW9465yrs5Y
i dont really have an opinion on this
@8FYB52N5yrs5Y
No, and replace it with a Govenment-Funded Alternative. (With no abortion option)

No, bourgeois institutions must be dismantled at their core. This includes Planned Parenthood as well as the State.
