"Planned Parenthood Federation of America is the nation's leading sexual and reproductive health care provider and advocate".
So, let me ask and pardon my French in doing so; Why the fuck are they trying to getting rid of it?
I watched news casts from both conservative and liberal stations, go figure, they are polar opposites on the subject, just like political parties are with pretty much everything. I have to go left for this one. Fox News argues that they're telling young girls to get rid of their problems with abortion and they want to hear as little about their situations as possible... For instance, if they were raped by some 40 year old man, they should keep that to themselves. Do I agree that this is wrong? Yes. Obviously, whether you are young or old, it is important for you to get your story out, but in the same token, that's not what Planned Parenthood is about. You go to Planned Parenthood with a problem, they will give you a solution, they won't give you therapy. Instead of getting rid of Planned Parenthood altogether, why not just get rid of the people that act so rudely in these situations? And, if this organization no longer has the funding, where are these women going to go?
I remember one time I went with my friend to this "Women's Center" place. She was pregnant. She wanted to make sure. She was, but the option of abortion was not brought up one single time. Instead, they gave her a bag with baby cloths in it and some Christian quotes over life and children. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. She was very young at the time and was not financially or emotionally ready for a child.
The last time that I checked, this was a nation founded on diverse religions, so why are we advocating places like this instead of places like Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood is the place to go for underage kids with genuine concerns that they do not want to reveal to their parents. Perhaps, instead of cutting the funding, they should look for ways to improve a much needed program.
Come on America, let's think about the ladies too. Maybe they should start cutting the funding to some of these political leaders that have their heads so far up their asses that they can't even be remotely down to earth and know 'real-life' situations.
