Political arguments against PP Planned Parenthood performs 35% of all abortions in the United States This correlates with people who are Pro-Life because they disapprove of abortions The focus of the organization has been shifting away from preventative care and women's health to and focusing more on abortions Cancer screenings by Planned Parenthood have decreased by 50% since 2004 It has an attitude towards sex that is too casual They give out contraceptives willingly in a way that suggests that sex is expected and normal for young adults

Intro to the Abortion Background info Abortion is a medical procedure that is preformed to terminate a pregnancy Abortion first became legal across the United States after the Roe v. Wade Supreme court case in 1973 after being legalized in several individual states already The 2 main types of abortion are in clinic abortion and medication abortion Medication abortions are usually utilized within the first 2 months of pregnancy In clinic abortions are usually conducted in pregnancies that are further along than 2 months Abortion statistics from CDC (2015)  638,169 abortions were conducted in the U.S. in 2015 188 abortions per 1,000 live births 91.1% of abortions were performed at <14 weeks after gestation

Basis behind the Pro-Life Argument Arguments and Opinions on Abortion Pro Life- At conception when the zygote is first formed, it contains human DNA that is different from the mothers which classifies it as a separate organism. In the embryonic period, the embryo fits the criteria established to be considered living: metabolism, growth, and reaction to stimuli. Because this human organism that lives within the mother has separate DNA and is considered to be living, it is logical to say that killing the living human is murder Abortions are acceptable in any case where the mother's health might be in danger because of the baby

Basis behind the Pro-Choice Argument Arguments and Opinions on Abortion Pro Choice- It is the woman's right to decide whether to terminate the pregnancy or not Woman's right over her body Pro – life suggest that the fetus is a living organism and human beings have the right to live, but the fetus is fully dependent on the woman's body because it can't survive on its own outside the womb. Banning abortion would violate a woman's right to control her body

Economic There are about 600 facilities around the U.S. Funding: about $2.1 billion/year
