Today's topic is Planned Parenthood. If you didn't know, yesterday the Senate debated whether to defund Planned Parenthood. The Republican party is heavily against Planned Parenthood, mainly because of abortion's, and wants the government to stop funding it. Some issues with this are that Planned Parenthood does a lot more than provide abortions. They provide STD testing, health education, cancer screening, rape counseling, and family planning. Essentially, they provide solutions on both ends of the spectrum for people who are pregnant.
I'm not gonna hide it, I'm a democrat. I think funding Planned Parenthood is a good thing. Yes they provide abortions, but they also provide help to women who choose to keep the baby, and they provide a number of programs that keep people safe. I personally don't understand why you would want to get rid of that. I mean, I do, because the Congress doesn't want to make it seem like they favor abortion, but at the same time, this company takes care of people.
Sorry, this is supposed to be non-partisan, but hey, it's my blog so I can say what I want.
What do you think?
