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. The majority of the other services include screening for and treating sexually transmitted diseases and infections and providing contraception. Proponents of fundi…

@9XDVJRLRepublican7mos7MO
my stance on this topic is the victims of rape should not be forced to bear the baby of the person that raped them but i don't think abortions should be allowed at all times for anyone.
@9QQG2NZ11mos11MO
Yes as long as funding for abortions is only used when NECESSARY (aka in cases of rape, incest, or under aged pregnancies. ) If in cases when intercourse was legally practiced then funding should not be sent.
@9MNGKL212mos12MO
Yes but reduce funding for abortions and make it pay more out of pocket for abortions, unless it's a rape victim. They have the option to assist paying for it but not a fully payed process.
@9FMCF8L2yrs2Y
Yes, tho if they continue ue to provide abortion services they should be fully funded to provide the therapeutic ramifications of such a procedure which from personal experience have no subsided for 20 years. It still causes enduring phantom pain. To this day.
@9F7LZ3JIndependent2yrs2Y
Universal healthcare would solve this issue and remove Planned Parenthood being a necessity at the same time.
@964KMCR3yrs3Y
Only if the organizations agree to prohibit abortions unless harmful to the parent.
@95CXCJ63yrs3Y
I don't support abortion but they should be able to if they want.
@93XSV8C3yrs3Y
It's much more nuanecd, and the go
@93L5PJV3yrs3Y
the government should not control womens body and choices because the people who are making these dissions for women are men and it is unnacceptable
@93HZ6JS3yrs3Y
The government should funds the organization that are in need of support that includes all organizations
@92VB6XZIndependent3yrs3Y
Yes, as long as funding is not used for abortion procedures. Abortions should be paid for by the person(s) wanting the abortion.
@8YF7SHY3yrs3Y
Yes as long as the abortion procedures are for people who have become pregnant by a rapist. Personally if you become pregnant and don't have the funds or do not want it, you can always give it to a family who are unable to have kids or give it up for adobtion so it can find a loving nurtoring family
@8XNYVNC3yrs3Y
They should be allowed but in only special cases such as it could harm the mother or the baby is unhealthy and determine not to make it before birth
@8XNTDTY3yrs3Y
NO, if it's taking resources from low-income women.
@8WZLF8F4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as the funding goes to more contraceptive options, prenatal care, and providing information rather than abortions
@8WYYZ4S4yrs4Y
I don’t really know but I think women should decide what they want to do
@8WYB3Q44yrs4Y
It should be for both planned and unplanned pregnancies
@8WV38L34yrs4Y
No, and the government should not give funds to any organizations that are in it for a profit, or you know killing people.
@8WGSV4K4yrs4Y
Yes, abortions should be included
@8WDCJ3J4yrs4Y
i’m unsure on where I stand on this
@8TRZKN54yrs4Y
yes and no because some people get abortions because they have been raped but in other situations abortions shouldn't be allowed
@8TPQWTYLibertarian4yrs4Y
yes but focus more money that would go towards abortion on making adoptions easier
@8TP9JHJ4yrs4Y
yes as well as fund more
@8SS4ZJX4yrs4Y
I think it should be funded but not from government
@8RL28TV4yrs4Y
No, That is something your state should take care of.
@8QK3WP6Independent4yrs4Y
They should not fund abortions but have exceptions for rape, insect, or threatening to the mother’s life. But how they can help some people out with cancer and other Heath related issues that part should be funded.
Yes, their services reach far beyond abortions and can save many lives through cancer screening, prenatal services, and adoption referrals. Unless it's a constant same person getting abortions over and over.
@8N79FTG5yrs5Y
No, but there should be resources for low-income women who need assistance with women’s health issues.
@8N42F8J5yrs5Y
No. All babies matter, born or unborn
@8MD3G9X5yrs5Y
Looking at the options and what is to say it doesn't sound bad if its helping people with cancer, but not in abortions because if your going to join something like this you must accept risk and accept it. Therefore taking your own financial responsibility. yes for rape and like i said if your going to die giving birth you kind of should just accept it...its easy to say but like i said thiers risks.
@8M4Z7D75yrs5Y
I do not have enough knowledge on this topic to form an opinion.
@8K2KTQ25yrs5Y
Yes, and they should start including abortions to victims of rape and other circumstances
@8JN4M9C5yrs5Y
Yes and no, I think the government should only fund planned parenthood if they are planning to actually be a parent. Other wise the government is allowing women to continue getting abortions which is killing a life, and potentially hurting a person.
@8G6DPCQ5yrs5Y
Only if PP is filed as a healthcare provider. If not, it should be nonprofit.
@8DP5JPH5yrs5Y
They help people with other things than abortion so they should stay open.
@8D8ZLTP5yrs5Y
Yes, but more money should be put towards pre-abortion counseling and services. They should provide more resources or direct women to resources/support so that abortion does not seem like the only option
@8CHT58F5yrs5Y
Yes, with the condition that Planned Parenthood cease to provide any abortion services
@9CKZ8242yrs2Y
Yes, funding for abortions should be only used in cases of rape, due to the fact that it is taking a human life. (In cases of rape, the accused should be tried and accused, and in cases of the victim lying, they should be tried and accused. Their lie would be detected by lie tests, detective work, etc.)
@9BR6NGM2yrs2Y
yes, as long as it's not being abuse
@99TXTJS2yrs2Y
The services that they provide should be part of the national health care system.
@989C7QG2yrs2Y
i believe that abortion should only be allow under certain circumstances like rape but if u are a teen that got pregnant with someone thou thought u loved than they should deal with the consequences
@97V5NK63yrs3Y
Fund preventative measures.
@97CSZQ63yrs3Y
They should stop funding and you the money to build better homes for the low income areas
@977XTXF3yrs3Y
No. Why is it that the government should have to pay for your planned parent hood because you decided to have sexual intercourse and possibly produce a child? It is not the government's responsibility.
@977HJQSWomen’s Equality3yrs3Y
Yes but they should maybe put more money into unplanned parenthood
@976V3393yrs3Y
I think that the government should fund to parents who are struggling.
@962F6BG3yrs3Y
I’m pro-life until it happens to me 😵💫
@8VCWTC44yrs4Y
Yes, but only fund abortions for rape victims.
@8KDF6WN5yrs5Y
Yes, their services reach far beyond abortions and can save many lives through cancer screening, prenatal services, and adoption referrals, however, make sure funding for childcare and parental training increase while abortions funds have limitations.
@8GRKN4T5yrs5Y
I say yes support them but not for abortions. Under certain circumstances yes. If you can go out and have unprotected sex when your young then you shouldn't have the abortion option. There are other choices and maybe we need to come up with more options and offer birth control.
@8G68VXQIndependent5yrs5Y
Planned Parenthood should only receive funding if it is filed as a healthcare provider. If not, it should be a nonprofit and not receive govt funding.
@9F7L72K2yrs2Y
Universal healthcare would allow for no funding to Planned Parenthood while still allowing individuals to get the same services previously received at a PP location. Take the private entity out and make it possible to get the care needed regardless of provider.
