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.

@9WZLQNRRepublican7mos7MO
if you plan on having a child, you should only receive financial aid from the government if you need it.
@9WX8R3H7mos7MO
Yes, the government should fund this service because of its helpful impact on those who need it, regardless if they pay for abortions or not
@9T2PGP38mos8MO
Yes, because we are always unaware of a person's situation and some might not want to keep the baby. Others may not have an acceptable life to raise a child.
@9S5BSRK9mos9MO
Totally divorced from the abortion issue, i find Planned Parenthood to be a dishonest business and therefore they should not be funded
@9J5L7DB1yr1Y
Yes, I believe that funding for planned parenthood should be increased to help parents. As for abortions, I believe they should be paid out of pocket only if the pregnancy was due to arrogant decisions. However, I believe that there should still be many stipulations to allow for more accessible and easy to attain abortions.
@9J58XR51yr1Y
Yes they should keep finding planned parenthood and with the topic of aboetion while yes it’s wrong it should also be left as a stance where it is a women’s body and with it being their body they should have a say with what they decide to do with it or not
@9HL7MWX1yr1Y
Its honestly a toss up for me I think it should still to make sure certain people who shouldnt reproduce reproduce but at the same time I think it shouldnt
@9B24T942yrs2Y
yes but only to an extent. People shouldn't rely on the government to pay their bills, if you planed to have that baby you should be financially stable and make sure they have what it takes to be a parent.
@95LV5SB3yrs3Y
Yes, they do some good work. However, they need to be regulated heavily as well, because the system is very corrupt.
@94GN54S3yrs3Y
Abortions should be allowed for certain situations and certain amount of times one can get one in a period of time. Like if a woman was raped, infertile but still got pregnant, or if they were a young kid to teen who cant handle financially to afford a baby.
@93K4WRB3yrs3Y
Yes, if only used for non-abortion procedures unless an abortion is medically necessary for a woman's survival (like a miscarriage)
@8ZS5L4V3yrs3Y
Only funded to provide abortion services to victims of sexual assault, abuse, rape, etc.
@8XDJQ4C4yrs4Y
it dependes on the sudation if they should be able to use it or not
@8WTKYV44yrs4Y
Unless they support an ethnostate for neurotic whites no.
@8V7F4QM4yrs4Y
I do not really care very much, I am fine if it is funded or not.
@8QNC6KQRepublican4yrs4Y
In my belief, abortion is murder- therefore no.
@8QBM22Z4yrs4Y
abortions should only be allowed in cases of rape or birth control failing.
@8QBHY5N4yrs4Y
I think the government could fund for certain procedures such as abortions for those who can't afford it.
@8PMHBWB4yrs4Y
No is my initial answer, but i would like to see statistics if they are making a difference when it comes to fighting growing numbers of diseases and unwanted pregnancies.
@8P9TH37Republican5yrs5Y
Personal preference, but no
@8NLJHBT5yrs5Y
No because if they plan on it they need to be prepared not living off the government
Yes, but only for people who not have a chance but WILL have a kid.
@8NC8J6M5yrs5Y
@8N2V32T5yrs5Y
fix adoption and foster homes or fund planned parenthood
@8LHPT2M5yrs5Y
yes, if funds are needed
@8KX2WFN5yrs5Y
If a woman is a victim of rape or incest they should have the choice but if they are using it as a form of birth control. NO
@8KVTDBX5yrs5Y
Panned Parenthood does perform abortions among other things, but I am not entirely in favor of abortions but do support some other thingsthey do.
@8KVNF9T5yrs5Y
i think there should be a limit meaning if you cant get your stuff together and get your butt up to the abortion clinic or get the pill that is free at hospital by 2 or 3 months than you shouldn't be allowed to abort the baby. anything further than 3 months you can abort.
@8KLWF3S5yrs5Y
no, but they should fun government should make an organization to educate sex and parenthood.
@8J4M92H5yrs5Y
I don't have enough information about this subject to make an educated opinion.
Again, The point at which the child or baby is considered a person should be determined first
@8CBN6NB5yrs5Y
Yes, it should also include the option for woman to get an abortion if they so choose
@9CNVZ9C2yrs2Y
No, but it should not make abortions illegal either. Planned Parenthood should be treated as a business instead of a government institution, with no federal support over any other medical practice.
@9B2YF6WIndependent2yrs2Y
Yes, because I don't like the government telling me what to do, however, you're still killing a baby.
@993HYB62yrs2Y
As long as abortion is not used as a form of birth control, and is used in cases of rape and incest
@988CZ6V2yrs2Y
Yes, Unless you planned on being a parent and now wan´t an abotion
@97ZM3Q22yrs2Y
The government should not be involved in a woman’s body in any way, pro-life or pro-choice
@8JX6DD45yrs5Y
Funding should be provided at the state level
@8G4362S5yrs5Y
No, they get plenty of donations yearly. Though they should change their own stance about always free for all.
@9BJZ73R2yrs2Y
I remain neutral in the deciding of laws.
