  6. Political arguments in Support of PP Political arguments in support of Planned Parenthood • Planned Parenthood is more than just abortion services • Planned Parenthood provides other essential health services: • STD/STI Testing • Contraception • Cancer screening and prevention • Women's health services (Prenatal Care) • General health services • Sex education

  7. Political arguments against PP • Planned Parenthood performs 35% of all abortions in the United States • This correlates with people who are Pro-Life because they disapprove of abortions • The focus of the organization has been shifting away from preventative care and women's health to and focusing more on abortions • Cancer screenings by Planned Parenthood have decreased by 50% since 2004 • It has an attitude towards sex that is too casual • They give out contraceptives willingly in a way that suggests that sex is expected and normal for young adults

  8. Intro to the Abortion  Background info • Abortion is a medical procedure that is preformed to terminate a pregnancy • Abortion first became legal across the United States after the Roe v. Wade Supreme court case in 1973 after being legalized in several individual states already • The 2 main types of abortion are in clinic abortion and medication abortion • Medication abortions are usually utilized within the first 2 months of pregnancy • In clinic abortions are usually conducted in pregnancies that are further along than 2 months • Abortion statistics from CDC (2015)  • 638,169 abortions were conducted in the U.S. in 2015 • 188 abortions per 1,000 live births • 91.1% of abortions were performed at <14 weeks after gestation

  9. Basis behind the Pro-Life Argument • Arguments and Opinions on Abortion • Pro Life- • At conception when the zygote is first formed, it contains human DNA that is different from the mothers which classifies it as a separate organism. • In the embryonic period, the embryo fits the criteria established to be considered living: metabolism, growth, and reaction to stimuli. • Because this human organism that lives within the mother has separate DNA and is considered to be living, it is logical to say that killing the living human is murder • Abortions are acceptable in any case where the mother's health might be in danger because of the baby

  10. Basis behind the Pro-Choice Argument • Arguments and Opinions on Abortion • Pro Choice- • It is the woman's right to decide whether to terminate the pregnancy or not • Woman's right over her body • Pro – life suggest that the fetus is a living organism and human beings have the right to live, but the fetus is fully dependent on the woman's body because it can't survive on its own outside the womb. • Banning abortion would violate a woman's right to control her body

  11. Economic • There are about 600 facilities around the U.S. • Funding: about $2.1 billion/year
