Coverups, Scandals, Law Breaking, Oh My!

If you visit any Pro Life sites on the Internet, you might notice that they are constantly reporting slip-ups or illegal activity from Planned Parenthood. As you read these, you may be asking, "Why are they still funded if they aren't consistently being a good organization?" Here's why: the world is becoming obsessed with women's rights. So much that they've forgotten the rights of the very humans inside the woman. People are afraid that if they defund Planned Parenthood, 1. There will be an uprising or 2. There will be no more "basic healthcare" for women. I'm no expert, but I can say this: there are thousands of clinics that provide everything from basic healthcare to advanced surgeries. The only thing these centers don't provide are abortions. The end of Planned Parenthood is essentially the end of abortion. The pro choice advocate's response to this idea will typically be shot back immediately: "but Planned Parenthood does these services free of charge, and if Planned Parenthood is defunded, then poor women won't get basic healthcare they need". You may hesitate at that one. Sounds pretty good, right? In actuality, this is a very weak response. You see, there ARE clinics that offer those services free of charge. Neighborhood clinics provide basic healthcare services for the poor. With that remark, their response that seemed so strong is now quickly deflated. There will most certainly be an uprising if Planned Parenthood is defunded, but we need to stand our ground. There will be outrage as there was when Susan G. Komen defunded them.
