Should the government continue to fund Planned Parenthood?
No, and the government should not give funds to any organizations that perform abortions
They also offer birth control to many women who other wise many not be able to get it or afford it, and if you take away abortions and then also birth control what will protect young women who are sexually
Planned Parenthood indeed offers a broad range of services. However, it's crucial to note that there are over 13,000 Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in the U.S. that provide similar, if not more comprehensive, services than the roughly 600 Planned Parenthood locations. These FQHCs provide care regardless of the patient's ability to pay, making them accessible for low income individuals.
FQHCs must provide prenatal, baby delivery, and postnatal services, which are not required at Planned Parenthood centers. They also offer more comprehensive primary care compared to Planned Parenthood.
If the government funding shifted from Planned Parenthood to FQHCs, could this be a viable solution to ensure women still receive the necessary health services they need without crossing the controversial line of abortion?
