Topic: Planned Parenthood scandal.
Planned Parenthood, a company delivering vital reproductive health care, sex education, and information to millions of women, men, and young people worldwide, got national coverage due to some of their practices concerning the way they treat organs from aborted fetuses.
The Center for Medical Progress is an anti-abortion organization that fights against companies sur as Planned Parenthood. They successfully duped and recorded officials from Planned Parenthood while trying to acquire the aborted fetuses organs.
The problems are: first, the officials from PP did not know that they were recorded,
With the attack on Planned Parenthood and regarding the video scandal which blew Planned Parenthood in the spotlight once again, is the problem its self that checking the facts are number one. People are so quick to see a video about an unborn child and act, without checking the facts. With Planned Parenthood they do perform abortions, yes but safe legal abortions they do use tissue and organs from these abortions to do lifesaving scientific research they also don’t mention in the video that the patients and the woman and families they make the decision to donate the fetal tissue, for research “this research should be honored not attacked and demeaned. “ What the facts don’t show in this edited video, which actually the video is over three
Planned Parenthood is more than just an abortion clinic When people think of Planned Parenthood, their mind goes straight to abortion. Americans believe that all Planned Parenthood does is perform abortions, which is a very flawed misconception. The non-profit organization does a lot more than that, they promote safe sex, prevent unplanned pregnancies, provide preventive care and screening for cervical and other cancers. I think that it’s important that we continue funding Planned Parenthood because without it women in America will be left without important resources.
Does the father have a say when it comes to abortion? It was ruled unconstitutional under the Supreme Court in Plan Parenthood v. Danforth under the reasoning that the husband’s refusal to consent would veto the women’s choice to terminate a pregnancy and considering that she is the one who is caring the pregnancy the court voted in favor of the mother. Which now prevents the father from vetoing the choice of the mother in the choice of abortion. If the father wants the mother to go through with abortion but she says no as a result the father will still have to pay child support. The father does not even have to be notified due to the Supreme Court decision on Plan Parenthood v. Casey.
In November 2015, Robert Dear executed an attack on an abortion clinic, Planned Parenthood, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. After a six hour standoff, this attack ended with the death of one police officer and two civilians and injuries to five police officers and four civilians. Robert Dear, 59, was motivated by his Christian faith and believes that his actions were just. Dear’s whole life was painted with crime, violence, and radical demonstrations of his religion. Even a New York Times article made him out as “an angry and occasionally violent, deeply disturbed, and extremely religious man with a long history with law enforcement.”
The goal is to defund Planned Parenthood for a year which means tax payers would stop paying. They want this to stop because this organization supports abortions and they are responsible for more than 300,000 of them per year in which they receive hundreds of millions tax payer dollars (http://www.focusonthefamily.com/socialissues/promos/defund-planned-parenthood). As I’m thinking about the steps in how a bill becomes a law, there are many factors that can help/hurt it. First off, a bill is introduced by a senator or representative (pg. 195).
Numerous attempts have been made to define the term fetus. Scholars have attempted to use both biological and psychological aspects, some have gone further to outline characteristics and conditions that define a fetus (Garrett et al., 2011). Others have tied the developmental aspects related to viability, birth and conception. The United States Supreme Court definition provides an alternate decision. The case of Planned Parenthood vs. Casey and Roe vs. Wade best defines a fetus in terms of viability (Nocon, 2010).
Hello Mr. Loa, When I originally chose my topic for writing project two, i was stuck between the effects Barbie has on our self-esteem and the federal funding of Planned Parenthood. I chose the topic about Barbie because I figured no one else would do it and it wouldn 't be redundant, but because it is such a unique topic, I 'm having trouble finding articles on it. Would it be okay if I changed my topic to Planned Parenthood, which had ample articles on it? And if I am allowed to change it, would I have to send you another topic proposal memo? Samantha
Why Planned Parenthood Should not be Defunded by the Government “Trying to block women from getting access to contraception or defunding Planned Parenthood is completely nonsensical from a policy standpoint.” - Richard Carmona, american physician and nurse. This is exactly why Planned Parenthood should not be defunded. It offers many things from contraception, abortion, cancer screenings and preventions along with much more. Also, if they were to be defunded and abortions could no longer go on, many more unplanned pregnancies would happen and the cost of welfare would escalate a lot.
ON September 19th, the House of Representatives voted to defund Planned Parenthood. Mike DeBonis for the Washington explains in House votes to defund Planned Parenthood, but will that help avert a shutdown? the events that occurred in the House. Two bills were passed, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act and Defund Planned Parenthood Act. The former addressing criminal penalties if a health staff member did not help a child produced from a failed abortion, the latter addressing a year of no funds going to the Planned Parenthood group.
This recent controversy has raised questions concerning the ethicality and legality of fetal tissue donations and research. It has also spurred debate over the government’s role in funding and authorizing clinics like Planned Parenthood, especially given the ideologically divise nature of the services it performs. As a result of this controversy, advocates and legislators are pushing for changes in federal policy, particularly changes that will defund or significantly reduce funding for Planned Parenthood. Such action could have significant effects on the conduction of scientific research, women’s rights, and women’s access to affordable and accessible health care nationwide. This paper examines the recent Planned Parenthood/fetal tissue research
Despite the beneficial projects Planned Parenthood has participated in, riots have broken out against the facility. According to The Daily Signal, “Students for Life of America organized ‘Women Betrayed’ rallies nationwide to protest taxpayer funding for the nation’s largest abortion provider” (Scanlon). The protests could eventually lead to a decrease in funding for Planned Parenthood. The riots do not only affect the business, they also affect the patients. On June 28, 2014, a six-hour, non-violent protest broke out in front of the Boston Planned Parenthood.
Many people are protesting and causing an uproar all over the world. They also provide abortions that are immoral and go against many people’s beliefs, including my own. This is why I believe that abortions should be made illegal and Planned Parenthood should no longer receive funding from the United States government. The disgust with planned parenthood causes many protests and arguments around the world and most of the uproar is because of the abortions that their centers provide. These arguments and fights have been going on for decades and the reasoning behind them leads us right back to abortion.
Abortion and reproductive justice is a hot topic right now. With left and right wing legislators trying to support or reject reproductive justice rights, it is everywhere we turn. Our class guest speaker, Carly Class, works for the Southeastern divine for Planned Parenthood in Florida. To many, Planned Parenthood is an abortion clinic, but it does so much more than terminate pregnancies. She went over the services that Planned Parenthood provides as well as the definition of reproductive justice.

The hot topics at the rally were religion and the issues of abortion and same-sex marriage, with participation of people from neighboring states of North Carolina and Georgia. "Our nation is in crisis right now. But I want to tell you there is a spirit of revival that is sweeping South Carolina, that is sweeping the country.
Susan G. Komen (SGK) is one of the most influential non-profit organizations in terms of its effort in championing their cause. We have been given the task to help rebuild their image, and offer our recommendations on how to regain public trust and support. After the defunding of Planned Parenthood (PP) and its mismanagement of dissemination of information and response, the question that strikes us was why Planned Parenthood responded to the news and actions of SGK negatively. Despite the fact that it is true, that PP was under federal investigation for mismanagement of funds. Based on the knowledge we gain from analyzing scholarly article, video recommendations and records of communication between SGK, PP and the public, our group propose
