Planned Parenthood is a non-profit organization that provides reproductive health services in the United States and internationally. In 2014, federal and state governments provided 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.…

Yes, but put more restrictions on people who utilize it. If you cannot practice safe sex, then you shouldn't be receiving these services endlessly.

Yes, but the people having multiple abortions need to be penalized with fines and/or uterus removal.

@92ZYZRW3yrs3Y
Yes but that funding should be used to reduce the cost of procedures for those in low income households who need it.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, but not for anything that leads to abortion unless its rape, incest, or a threat to the child and/or mother's life. Other than that, the government should focus on funding programs rather than organizations.
@9425J2G3yrs3Y
Planned parenthood should be considered free healthcare
Deleted4yrs4Y
Yes, and its services should be provided by a national healthcare service
@8TP6QKS4yrs4Y
No, the government should declare any and all abortions illegal on pain of death for all involved
@8F6CLZL4yrs4Y
I think that there should be life on this earth, if there is a baby in a belly it should be brought into this world. No life should be taken, all lives should be given.
@78S5M874yrs4Y
the government should not give funds to any organizations
Deleted3yrs3Y
indifferent on this issue
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, but not for anything that leads to abortion unless its rape, incest, or a threat to the child and/or mother's life. Otherwise, the government should focus on funding programs rather than organizations.
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, keep it the at the same amount but don't cut it completely. Instead, the government should focus more on funding programs rather than organizations, and therefore, should not be used for abortions unless it's rape, incest, or a risk to mother's life or health.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, but funding shouldn't be used for abortions unless it's rape, incest, or life-threatening situations, and only for mothers who are having financial issues. The government should focus more on funding programs rather than organizations.
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, keep it the at the same amount but don't cut it completely. Instead, the government should focus more on funding programs rather than organizations, and therefore should not be used for abortions unless it's rape, incest, or a risk to mother's life or health.
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, funding should be reduced but not by completely cutting it. The government should focus more on funding programs rather than organizations, and therefore, should not be used for abortions, unless it's rape, incest, or a risk to mother or child's life.
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, it should be funded less but not by completely cutting it. The government should focus more on funding programs rather than organizations, and therefore, should not be used for abortions unless it's rape, incest, or a risk to mother or child's life.
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, and the government should not give funds to any organizations that perform abortions, provide abortion counseling or referrals, advocate for decriminalizing abortion, or expand abortion services
@4SHZKD64yrs4Y
Yes because I do believe that Planned Parenthood is a helpful resource in medically scarce and poorer communities. That being said, I wonder if abortions could be locally or privately funded at their locations just as private practices would do who perform abortions..
@8QG5XSM4yrs4Y
only in given situations where it is a necessity
@8Q6C4Y44yrs4Y
No, and planned parenthood and other abortion providers should be dissolved by the government
@8R3TC794yrs4Y
Yes, but ONLY in relation to abortions that are ethical (after the first three months, and are done because of incest, rape, or severe danger to the mother)
@887SFZP4yrs4Y
Yes, free and easy access to abortion clinics, and healthcare in general, will make it easier for women to abort their fetuses before they become developed enough that abortion would be an unethical option.
@4VFFZGC4yrs4Y
No, the budget for this should be merged into the government's affordable health care system for those who can't afford it.
@929DQCT3yrs3Y
Yes because sometimes it can be pretty expensive when coming to take care of a child.
@8QF68824yrs4Y
Only if they agree to stop having abortion procedures
@92JXK3J3yrs3Y
Yes, with the expectation that they will not use the money for abortions and that if they do, they will have their funding taken away.
@8VCMN274yrs4Y
I think yes, but no if you plan on getting an abortion
@8WRL5Q93yrs3Y
Absolutely not! 1. Abortion have been a decrease in the population a couple years after roe v wade. 2. Some government officials( mainly Democrat) support abortion for votes. 3 minorities are hurt first and worse to abortion. Over 330,000 African American baby’s are abort every single year.
@6Y5KGYR4yrs4Y
No, the government should fund different reproductive health groups that don't use funding to lobby legislatures.
@8TV9L2L4yrs4Y
yes, however; their should be no free "anything" if someone needs this type of service then they need to contribute. Always something someone can do towards a cause in order for them to receive that service.
@8TPZHT74yrs4Y
Yes and also fund abortions
@92VBD9F3yrs3Y
No, because people that pay taxes have to pay for kids that are not there.
@IINXMP4yrs4Y
No, but they should recieve tax breaks, along with security companies, retail clinics and pharmacies, schools, and other essential businesses.
@8Y3YHH83yrs3Y
We need Medicare For All before we can even have this discussion in a serious way.
@IINXMP4yrs4Y
Yes, but only after cutting the deficit.
@8FJMJ684yrs4Y
If they stop illegal abortions, then yes.
@8HK67RX4yrs4Y
The government should not be involved in these types of intimate matters
@8YJZQSK3yrs3Y
Yes, and the government should not give funds to any organizations that perform abortions provide abortion counseling or referrals, advocate to decriminalize abortion, or expande abortion services
@heatherdvdprincess3yrs3Y
Yes. As long as funding is not used for abortions besides for rape, incest, and danger to the mother, and if it is for rape, it should not be after a certain amount of time.
@4ZSFGFW4yrs4Y
No, private organizations should shoulder the burden to fund Planned Parenthood.
@6N6P5Q33yrs3Y
Yes, but only after a full audit
@6VFYRRC3yrs3Y
No. Although I am pro-choice, I'm not a big fan of planned parenthood.
@7TBHR2C4yrs4Y
No, Planned Parenthood makes Millions on its own without Government intervention.
@7RGBCQB4yrs4Y
Yes, it doesn't matter to me as along as I am not heavily taxed by it.
@8BCYHWG4yrs4Y
No, the government should create a separate entity which provides screenings, etc. without providing contraceptives(widely) or abortions.
@8CHSC8Q5yrs5Y
Yes, but should specifically fund birth control services with the aim to reduce the amount of abortions. and of course continue to fund other existing services
@8CG6FRP5yrs5Y
No. The federal government should not be in the business of deciding which non-profits succeed or fail. If they have public support then they will receive donations from the public.
@8CQ8C2X4yrs4Y
I think abortion should be funded but only in good faith. That meaning rape victims/underage parents.
@8558FRW3yrs3Y
Yes, but it should be determined by the States whether it is used for abortions.
@8CR2TN84yrs4Y
Yes, but only to clinics that do not possess an abortion license.
@8CY5FJV4yrs4Y
Yes, but keep abortions for more serious matters like rape or too keep paarent safe
@8CXCFQ94yrs4Y
No, increase access to healthcare by building more health clinics, urgent care centers, and hospitals in urban and rural areas.
@8D2YSQR4yrs4Y
yes and abortion should be supported
@8D2HND54yrs4Y
Yes but if we are funding abortions, the people getting them must pay it back.
@8DN4WYN4yrs4Y
The government should neither support nor impair Planned Parenthood.
@8DXKF3J4yrs4Y
Don't have a opinion on this topic.
@8F8YSKT4yrs4Y
Medical care should be free.
@8GLKWV54yrs4Y
@8GMPK8G4yrs4Y
Yes as long as abortions aren't an option unless they were raped or you know for a fact that baby with bad quality of life.
@8HQLKKS4yrs4Y
I'm pro-choice let people do whatever.
@8J358MM4yrs4Y
Am not educated enough to make a decision
@8JBN6KV4yrs4Y
No. Destroy planned parenthood. bill gates's father ran that organization.
@8JRRRT54yrs4Y
No, there are other organizations which offer the services of Planned Parenthood without abortions.
@8JWH4HS4yrs4Y
N/A don’t understand this question
@8JY4JBH4yrs4Y
We need to make abortions illegal because it is murder and is unfair for the child.
@8KF7JZG4yrs4Y
It should be more regulated.
@8L2MFTM4yrs4Y
Yes, because it provides more for people then just abortions.
@8M258QP3yrs3Y
Yes- including funding abortions and many more health services that come from planned parenthood
@8M6D6WR4yrs4Y
Yes, these services should be rolled up into a single payer health system, managed by city or state government
@8M6D6WR4yrs4Y
No, these services should be rolled up into a single payer health system, managed by city or state government
@8M69H8D4yrs4Y
No, the origin of this organization and its founders where disgusting people that believe in eugenics and target black communities the most to so they wouldn't over populated America.
"The ministers work is also important and also he should be trained, perhaps by the [Birth Control] Federation [of America] as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the N*** population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members" quote Margaret Sanger founder of planned parenthood.
@8MCVG8W4yrs4Y
Yes, and expand mental health care and sex education, but eliminate elective abortions.
@8MR6SHM4yrs4Y
Yes, but they shouldn't give money to organizations that are for abortion
@8N2FXXF4yrs4Y
As long as it for the right reasons.
@8MZ79MJ4yrs4Y
Every Bussiness Can Continue With Ethics
@8NCCM3F4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as any abortions performed are performed with good reason
@8NXSCW24yrs4Y
No, unless the government stops funding abortions.
@8P8TVTS4yrs4Y
The Government should fund a non-planned parenthood entity that provides important medical care to women sans abortion.
@8PNQJXK4yrs4Y
@HendrithSmith4yrs4Y
No. I support a womans right to choose. I support a womans right to decide on her own healthcare options. 100 percent. I understand that sometimes dire circumstances may call for dire measures. So I'm not into judging anyone. Ladies, there's no judgement from me, I love you. At the same time, I think early term abortion is just not a good practice and late-term abortion is just uncivilized - and therefore it should not be funded by tax payers.
@8QKJ7R94yrs4Y
No, and the government should not give funds to any organizations that perform abortions besides for rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child. All other babies should be kept by the mother or adopted.
@8R7N6V44yrs4Y
No. But the government should also have no say in abortion. That should be between a woman and her doctor.
@8RB2K9D3yrs3Y
No, protect abortion rights nation wide but let each state choose how much money is used to fund Planned Parenthood
@8RB2K9D4yrs4Y
Yes, but decrease the amount of money that we fund
@8RJYXL44yrs4Y
Sure, but women should not abuse abortions. They must be mature and old enough to accept and adapt to the outcome and situation that will occur.
@8RMX6974yrs4Y
Only if it's for rape victims.
@8SW74HJ4yrs4Y
Yes, but reduce the amount donated.
