For Subtopic one: Congress moving ahead with plans to cut Medicaid payments, grant money to Planned Parenthood Joshua Gillin This source is evidently Conservative. I could tell because of words used and the support of Trump’s actions and beliefs. -"As far as Planned Parenthood is concerned, I'm pro-life. I'm totally against abortion, having to do with Planned Parenthood," – Trump -"I would defund it because of the abortion factor, which they say is 3 percent. I don't know what percentage it is. They say it's 3 percent. But I would defund it, because I'm pro-life. But millions of women are helped by Planned Parenthood.” –Trump -This article explains why Trump and other conservatives feel like Planned Parenthood should not be funded. -This source allows my argument to grow stronger because I know what people would refute with.

-and now, 2/3 of people rely on public programs such as Medicaid For Subtopic one: The Fight to Defund Planned Parenthood has very little to do with abortions Rebecca Harrington This source is biased to a liberal’s perspective, you can tell by reading the first few sentences. -When planned parenthood is defunded, patients will have to pay everything out of pocket -and now, 2/3 of people rely on public programs such as Medicaid -Only 3% of planned parenthood’s services are towards abortion This source allows me to argue that defunding planned parenthood for the reason of being pro-life is not valid, because only 3% of their service is abortion.

For Subtopic two: International Planned Parenthood- How we work -Funding by donations and grants -Provide education, contraception, support to women around the world -reproductive rights advocacy -Innovative service delivery Answers questions on what their mission is.

-The statement that 30% of women use PP is proved false. For subtopic two: Cutting Planned Parenthood funding is not the disaster we’ve made it out to be John Graber -This source is extremely conserved, you can tell from reading the title. -The organization services only small segment of American women, most of whom can find alternatives. -The statement that 30% of women use PP is proved false. -This source allows my argument to be questioned because the article argues the insignificance of PP. But, there is not much information about what other organizations would be more significant.

For subtopic three: Fact Check: How Does Planned Parenthood Spend That Government Money? 500 million came from US tax dollars to fund IPPF ???
