Why America needs to keep planned parenthood.

I'm not making this political. I know there are some dodgy funding issues going on with it, but not political.

One. Abortion. Right or wrong, people will always have abortions. Is it not better to have a safe medical facility to carry out the procedure rather than some dirty bed room in some apartment? Or some back street dodgy clinic? Even if you dont like the choices, accept it.

Two: women go to planned parenthood for cancer screenings. Many women are stay at home mothers or single parents and dont have, or /and cant afford insurance. From what I understand about insurance over there, its complex as to what is and isnt included in policies. Women need places to go for cancer screenings, just like men do.

Three: Sex education. School 's in America seem to be terrible at providing adequate sex education. Kids need to know about this stuff. And if conservative parents and school' s wont teach them then its good that there are places that can give out advice and contraception. And maybe if parents and school ' s were more open about sex ed then maybe the unwanted pregnancy would drop. Just a thought. Not preaching.
