In Ian’s blog, Planned Parenthood at risk, he highlighted all of the things the clinic does for people and gave facts with statistics. America has welcomed teen pregnancy with open arms and without clinics, like Planned Parenthood, many kids wouldn’t even understand or acknowledge the options they have in teen pregnancy. Besides teen pregnancy, many young adults wouldn’t receive the education and counseling, Planned Parenthood offers on sex, std’s, pregnancy, etc. I totally agree with your editorial on the Planned Parenthood budget, because our government should be looking at benefits towards Americans rather than spending all our aid on foreign countries when they need help.
We fail to realize many of us in our own country need help. With all the controversy going on about health care, the government should be appreciative of programs like these, because many times these clinics catch diseases in the early stages, to be cured. Without the clinics financial help these patients would never have had the opportunity to even know something was wrong with them.
Even though the national budget is decreasing all around we should focus the maximum amount we can afford towards health care providers like Planned Parenthood and education. Many people disagree with Planned Parenthood because of what they offer but little do they know it could help one of their children one day. Planned Parenthood has helped many people in my community and will continue to do so with the right funding. If Planned Parenthood quit receiving aid, just imagine how many people would go untreated in the United States, because of financial problems.
