...A Research Study to Determine if the GOP’s Argument to Defund Planned Parenthood is Creditable By Nathaniel A. Payne Submitted to the Faculty of Brandman University In partial fulfillment of the requirement for HRCU 630 Conflict & Negotiation 03 April 2016 Introduction The Grand Ole Parties’ (GOP) argument to defund Planned Parenthood is not creditable because of one particular reason; Planned Parenthood is not using government funds to conduct abortion. These are the term in which the legislation was written and passed in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Planned Parenthood receives public funds to provide comprehensive reproductive and complementary health care services and ensure access to such services to provide educational programs which enhance understanding of individual and societal implications of human sexuality to promote research and the advancement of technology in reproductive health care and encourage understanding of their inherent bioethical, behavioral, and social implications (Planned Parenthood, 2014). Now the GOP wish to change legislation and deny Planned Parenthood public fund because now the Party wish to argue that no organization should receive public fund that conducts abortions for any program it does. All people have the right to make decisions for them-selves. To be able to make informed choices people need education and resources (Lottes, 2013). First and foremost this is not attracting the Republican...

...Janelle Baird Professor John Snider WRIT 101 08/28/15 Planned Parenthood Recently I observed a debate about Planned Parenthood on the internet where both people brought informative material to the argument against and in support of the organization. This was an excellent opportunity for me and other people to see both sides of the argument so that we can become more open minded and educated on the matter of defending our own beliefs with facts and tested theories while understanding other viewpoints. This reminds me of the quote by a Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher, Sun Tzu which states: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. For myself, I stand very passionately on the cornerstone that human lives, no matter how small or in whose womb they take form in, should be treated with humanity. So in the next four pages I am excited to bring forth the evidence I have found to petition the world to defund Planned Parenthood in support of my strong belief against the establishment. I am equally excited to give supportive information from the opposing side’s perspective. I understand that I do not understand everything. I have not experienced Planned Parenthood personally. I never had a reason to want an abortion neither was I an unplanned fetus that my parents wanted to eradicate. Therefore I cannot pull evidence from personal experience, but I can learn from and examine other people’s testimonies and gather...

...Planned Parenthood& The Defunding Movement Introduction Planned Parenthood is a national nonprofit organization of the United States. It is a fundamental provider of reproductive health care. Planned Parenthood has 61 affiliates throughout the country, with an estimated 700 health clinics in almost all states. It is not only a health care provider, but also an educator and advocate for women’s health. Planned Parenthood assists women in making conscious and well-informed choices about health, sex, and family planning. Every year over three million women, men, and teens visit Planned Parenthood associated medical centers to receive health care such as routine gynecological exams, breast and cervical cancer screenings, contraceptive services, abortion care, sexually transmitted infection/disease testing and treatment. According to Planned Parenthood, one out of five female Americans pays a visit to a Planned Parenthoodcenter throughout the course of her life (Planned Parenthood, 2014). Because Planned Parenthood is a nonprofit organization, it relies heavily on government funding to support its broad mission and programs. At the end of the 2014 fiscal year, it was revealed that Planned Parenthood health centers were recipients of $528.4 million in government funds. These funds were the largest source of income for the organization followed by private donors, charitable foundations, and non-government sources. With this being said, federal funding is absolutely essential to...

These cases focused on women’s reproductive rights, such as abortion and a state’s rights to restrict abortions based on the constitutional rights. Roe v. Wade took place in the early 1970’s. The 1960’s were a time of hippies, peace and “flower power.” Going into the 1970’s women were demanding respect and equal rights. (“Roe v.

...Brenetia FFrench-Shareef BUSI 409-D07 Reply 1 Hi Chryslin, Thanks for sharing your research about the nonprofit organization called Planned Parenthood. Last year in October, Planned parenthood have been around for 100 years. This organization is well known for providing reproductive healthcare. The reproductive services includes testing for breast cancer and sexual transmitted diseases, emergency contraception, pregnancy resources and more. A few weeks ago, I decided to write about Planned Parenthood, but not everyone is in favor with all the services that they provide. One example is that planned parenthood provides abortions. On their official website, "There are two ways of ending a pregnancy: in-clinic abortion and the abortion...

...Abstract Abortion in America: Right to Life or Right to Choose Arguments for or against performing abortions in the United States, persist and are highly debatable. Since the 1973 Federal Supreme Court ruling of Rowe versus Wade, abortions have become established as legal in the United States. (Glendon, 2003) Legalized abortion in the United States, has received strong support from Pro-Choice proponents such as Planned Parenthood. (Planned Parenthood, 2014) Pro-Choice advocates for abortion, believe that pregnancies can be allowed to be ended prematurely. (MNT, 2009) Pro-Life advocates, on the other hand, view abortion as murder to human life. Opponents to legalizing abortions performed in the United States, often include Pro-Life supporters and certain religious groups. The issue of abortion in American society often involves individual belief and personal choice. The five members of the University of Phoenix’s BCOM/275, Learning Team C, have separated into two groups to debate the pros and cons relating to the legalization of abortions in the United States. Three team members debated the abortion topic from a Pro-Life perspective, and two team members sought to represent the Pro-Choice position. A team debate was held on June 13, 2014. The purpose of the debate, was to gather information from team members and meet three main objectives. The first objective was to gather information by listening to arguments from both: Pro-Life and Pro-Choice perspectives. The second...

...Abortion is one of the most controversial topics that faces society in today’s world. This controversial topic has caused many deaths and several heated arguments between the two separate parties of opinion. The arguments between pro-life and pro-choice supporters have been long and can be very violent. This argument will continue to go on for years, but based on your opinion there are legitimate arguments for both sides. It all depends on personal opinion whether or not each side can say with certainty that the other one is wrong. The two sides to abortion are pro-life and pro-choice, and this is an issue that politicians face in every election, and it plays a big role in how many citizens decide on who they are going to vote for in the election. The many court cases that involved abortion have influenced United States history in a big way. These court cases include: Stenberg v. Carhart, Roe v. Wade, and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Abortion in the United States has been banned and legalized throughout the history of this country, and the interest groups involving this topic have had many heated arguments throughout the years, and continue to have them today. Abortion is the voluntary termination of a pregnancy, resulting in the death of the fetus or embryo (Gill). Abortion is a topic that has been around for a long time, and is something that has been debated in just about every society.

...I believe women should have the right to receive an abortion under certain circumstances. I agree with the law in Texas to a point. I feel if the woman’s life is in jeopardy, if the pregnancy is a result of a rape, or if the fetus is not developing normally are the only reasons I think a woman should receive an abortion. This may be hypocritical of me, but I believe an abortion should not be a justification for birth control. I feel strongly about the right of a woman to choose life or to choose an abortion. Public policy protects the rights of women to choose to receive an abortion or not. Planned Parenthood organizations give women the option of birth control, an abortion, and adoption to women wanting to avoid a pregnancy or adoption as a choice. Having choices is what women should have no matter what state she lives in. I personally believe in the public policy and Planned Parenthood. I think women should have options involving such an...

...The aim of this paper is to clear up any misconceptions about the issue of abortion in order for people to be able to make a clear, conscious decision regarding the issue while taking into consideration both sides surrounding the argument. In today’s world many teenagers engage in the act of sexual intercourse without taking any of the consequences into consideration. This results in many unplanned pregnancies and teenagers need to have the option to have a way out and not cut their lives short. Instead of resorting to dangerous, illegal methods of aborting the baby, abortion should be legalized so that these future mothers feel safe enough not to have to risk their lives in order to avoid a possible disaster. If abortion isn’t made legal we are risking the health and well being of our future generations simply because the public is too close minded to consider the positive outcome of such an action. Abortion is a very controversial topic in the world of today. Pro-choice and Pro-life both have considerable arguments. What is abortion? According to the Webster dictionary, abortion is “the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus.” (Merriam Webster Dictionary). Abortion of course, as opposed to a miscarriage is purposely induced. Some people view abortion as a violation of God’s gifts to humans, which is birth, while others claim that it’s a personal choice for those who are faced with certain situations...

...Books | Writings | HTML ] Discuss abortion in the MrData.Net Abortion Discussion Forum. Introduction: Planned Parenthood has written 9 Reasons Why Abortions are Legal. In response, I have written 9 Reasons Why Abortions should be Illegal. Nine Reasons Why Abortions Should Be Illegal Actually, I have been laughing to myself at Planned Parenthood's list, because it is so easy to defeat. It's not Planned Parenthood's fault--there are no good reasons to support abortion, other than serious health issues of the mother or baby. Also, I believe that Planned Parenthood serves many valuable functions. I agree with many things they do. I strongly disagree in their support of abortion. I only chose to debate their particular opinions because a) They are a large, national, pro-abortion organization. b) They have made a list, and my debate tactic suits such a list. I invite you to read the following debate with an open mind and consider the validity of the two opposing opinions. If you can find any error in my facts or reasoning, I hope you will let me know. I am an unmarried, conservative male. I have always been supportive of the life of the unborn. However, in the past my opinion was, "Well, the country is evenly divided on this issue. Although I am personally against abortion, there are others who don't agree with me. I won't force the issue unless there is a consensus against abortion. I will thus support the democratic process." However, I have gradually realized that the abortions...

...In the world today that abortion takes place every second of every day. Abortion is a big topic in this generation because of have uncontrolled hormones the miss connection of love and responsibility and what it brings to the table. They lack to fully understand the presents and laws to childhood care because yet they are still children themselves. When we misuse this we tend to fall into wrong decision making of abortion. Abortion ties into what some say the killing of a human life. We fail to realize the fact of when does life begin. Many may claim that life begins as we form in our mother’s uterus. (According to prolife physicians.com) human life begins as we are able to adapt, reproduce, organized, have energy etc. Does this really define that we are able to still take a life that has never displayed these actions but will. Many people will agree that during every abortion and innocent human being is killed. They also stop to think that when does life begin or is abortion just abortion. According to pro-choice network human life begins as a baby / fetus begins to breathe on its own without the mothers support (Pro-choice network). In the world today laws have been developed in many states that there is a set time for a women to abort her child or fetus. Women can only have abortion between eight to twelve weeks of pregnancy. This comeback to the question when are we considered human beings viewpoints regarding this issue vary wildly, but after clarification of why one should...

...Well, birth control was largely illegal in the United States for much of the 20th century, so maybe one of your questions could be how people gained access to it prior to its legalization, as well as the social stigma surrounding birth control, and how some women were stuck with raising more children than they could handle because of the difficulty in obtaining birth control. Another question you could cover is the nature of abortion procedures prior to its legalization. Birth control as a movement in the US has had a very uneven relationship to movements for women s rights. Discuss early birth control reform efforts in relationship to issues of gender and class power. Birth control was an early-twentieth-century slogan, but it has become the generic for all forms of control of reproduction. With the spread of agriculture and the economic advantages of large families, religious and in some cases secular law increasingly restricted birth control, with the result that there appears to have been an increase in reliance on abortion while contraceptive technology and use declined. Both practices were legal in the United States until the mid-nineteenth century. Birth control as a movement in the US has had a very uneven relationship to movements for women s rights.

...WORLD ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST BIRTH CONTROL Argument 1 for Birth Control: Birth control paves the way for responsible family planning. In today’s hard times, it is but a couple’s due diligence to properly plan for family life. Planned pregnancies ensure that both the soon-to-be father and mother are ready for the daunting task of taking care of a child. Planning for a family entails not just financial investment but emotional investment as well. Until the couple is ready to face the realities and hardships of parenthood, birth control must be practiced. It may be accomplished via 100% abstinence from sex or thru other medically acceptable means. Birth control helps any couple to engage in sexual relations while controlling the timing of when they would start a family together. Argument 2 for Birth Control: Birth control saves lives and reduces abortion. The conscious decision of birth control and the access to various methods have proven effective in the prevention of unwanted pregnancies. There is an extremely large possibility that unwanted pregnancies lead to abortion, especially for countries that are non-Catholic. It is also a fact that during childbirth, there is a high risk of death as well. If birth control is practiced, you prevent unwanted and untimely pregnancy and you do not only save the unborn child but the mother as well. Argument 3 for Birth Control: Birth control prevents destitution or utter poverty. Providing quality of life to one’s...

...They cite the Constitution’s declaration that no one can be “deprived of life, liberty or property” and state that an unborn child has a constitutional right to life upon which abortion infringes. Republicans oppose government funding of organizations such as Planned Parenthood, citing the fact that they perform elective abortions and sell fetal body parts. The Party promotes the election of judges and officials who represent traditional family values, particularly the value of human life. They criticize the Democratic Party’s extreme views on abortion, and believe that their views are not in line with the desires of the American people. However, there is one point on which Republicans agree with Democrats: they have a moral obligation to support women in unplanned pregnancies (The 2016 Republican Party...
