Reasons
Planned Parenthood should receive federal funds because it provides essential healthcare services to millions of Americans—particularly low-income individuals, women, and underserved communities. Here's a breakdown of key reasons:
Comprehensive Healthcare Services: Over 90% of what Planned Parenthood provides includes non-abortion services like cancer screenings, birth control, STI testing and treatment, and general health exams. These services help prevent more serious and costly health issues.
Access for Underserved Populations: Many of its patients have limited or no access to affordable healthcare. Federal funding, often through Medicaid and Title X, helps cover services for those who otherwise couldn’t afford them.
Preventing Unintended Pregnancies: By offering contraception and education, Planned Parenthood helps reduce unintended pregnancies and, consequently, the number of abortions.
Legal and Restricted Use of Funds: Federal funds cannot be used for abortion services (except in very limited cases like rape, incest, or life endangerment), as mandated by the Hyde Amendment. The funding instead supports preventative and reproductive health services.
Public Health Outcomes: Supporting Planned Parenthood contributes to broader public health goals, such as reducing the spread of STIs and improving maternal health outcomes.m
Now answer my question. Should tornado victims in Missouri get federal assistance as the MO Republican Gov has requested. How ****ing backwards are you
