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…

I think the government should fund programs that help citizens of the US with things they may not be able to do them selves. Breast cancer screenings, birth control services and adoption is things that cost a lot of money and the government should help. Abortions, however, are a want, not a need and should not be funded. Education for options for adoption should be encouraged. It should not be covered by the government.

No! Planned Parenthood offers no medical care for women, pregnant or not, and not care for their babies. Planned Parenthood only offers abortions of babies and hormones for people with gender dysphoria.

Actually, Planned Parenthood provides a range of vital healthcare services for women, including cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, and contraceptive services. For example, in 2019, they performed over 1.5 million STI tests and provided birth control to nearly 1.4 million patients. With these services being critical for many women's health, do you think there's a better alternative to ensure access to these essential services if not through Planned Parenthood?

I am pro-choice but I think planned parenthood should re-do their whole system like it should be mandatory that they show the sonogram (unless the woman doesn't wanna see it) and they should give every woman a detailed description of each of their options and help them find resources to help them with what they choose.

No, I believe private charities should donate instead, Planned Parenthood has an abundance of money from the government and has many advocates that would be more willing to donate. That money could be used to help and strengthen low-income families in need. Especially Black and Latino low-income families in which Abortion is more marketed too than any other ethnic group. Hmmm, very suspicious...

I don’t have a problem with planned parenthood but I’m not a fan of abortions. It seems selfish to me, but I’m a guy so what do I know. I think if a woman was raped, if the child won’t make it, if the woman won’t make it, then abortion is an option. However, I don’t think people should just get abortions when they don’t want to have a kid.

This organization does good and should exist but as for government funding I’d abstain from it being funded or controlled by the government in any way shape or form because the government is large bureaucratic and often ineffective. It also opens up politicians to having a greater say in the decision making and corruption
