Global Gag Rule Pros And Cons
Soy (2017) reports that United State’s president Donald Trump has not only reinstated Ronald Reagan’s 1984 global gag rule, but has taken it a step further to extend the ban to cover all organizations receiving global health assistance. In addition to causing a large setback the progress of many organizations that seek to aid some of the world’s unmet need for family planning, Trump’s extended ban could also contribute to increased numbers of abortions and deaths in Africa.
The global gag rule forbids US family planning aid from going to specific organizations that use separate funds to provide abortion information or services. The Trump ban goes further by furthering the ban to cover all global health assistance provided by all agencies

    Planned Parenthood: A Case Study

    Under the Act the hospital is allowed to deny treatment to patients if it goes against the hospitals religious belief. The appellee may also argue that they are protected under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, that prohibits any agency department, or official of the United States or any State from substantially burdening a person’s exercise of religion even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability. In Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, 573 US__(2014), the Court held that corporations are protected under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The Court also concluded that providing contraceptives forces religious corporations to fund what they consider abortion, which goes against their stated religious principles, and creates a substantial burden that is not the least restrictive method of satisfying the government’s…

    Planned Parenthood Research Paper

    A commandment given to believer in Christ is to not murder on another. There are many referenced to not committing murder in the Bible, but the specific commandment was given in Exodus 20:13, this is one of the ten commandments. Not only is murder a sin, it is also goes against the United States constitution. By the Government funding Planned Parenthood it is giving women to opportunity to commit murder. Also, in Deuteronomy 30:19, the Lord says, “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live…” (BIBLE). Women who choose to terminate their pregnancy are going against God’s word. They are not choosing life, instead they are choosing death for their seed. In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, God calls believers to treat our bodies like a temple, he would not consider having a child ripped from one’s self to be honoring to their body. God views Planned Parenthoods actions as disobedient, dishonoring, and as murder. For these reasons Planned Parenthood should not receive Federal…

    Pros And Cons Of Internet Censorship

    “In 2001, the International Telecommunication Union calculated that, approximately 2.3 billion people had internet access at the end of that year. Since then, the percentage of people using the internet around the world has continued to grow” (Li 2). Censoring the internet has been a hot topic for quite a while now. Many people believe that censoring the web isn’t a good thing because of certain laws and rights we have as citizens. The internet has some cons but it also has many pros. The downside of the censorship is that the truth is blocked out and it violates our freedom of speech. On the other hand, censorship of the internet can reduce the numbers or even stop human trafficking, prevent identity theft, stop cyber bullying and so much…

    Gagged In Mexico

    One problem…President Bush ordered the State Department to withhold the U.S.'s family planning help from overseas groups that promote or perform abortions without their own money. Mexico doesn't have the best economy and there are families in poverty that cannot afford abortions. So families have a choice, they can get the abortion and give up government money for family planning that they are eligible for, or they can keep it which is their choice. If they don't want the fetus though, the woman is endangered and so is her family when it come to their health and healthcare. Women are essentially given an ultimatum in the long…

    Immigration Dbq

    The case law to date does not clearly provide any legal limits on the President’s use of authority when placing prohibitions on the entrances of immigrants into America. The Act provides very broad authority as to how the president of the United States may do so. When read carefully, the Act clearly does not authorize the president to prevent immigration based on country of origin, nevertheless, it does authorize the president's decision of preventing the immigration of aliens based on his stance. For example, the president shall have the power to place temporary restrictions on immigration based on country of origin if he deems that the well-being of the United States could be adversely affected by any immigrant or any foreign country. However, he is not recommended, nor is he permitted, to prohibit any alien or class of aliens from immigrating to the United States based on factors that include bias’ along with sex, income, and religious…

    Equal Rights Amendment Pros And Cons

    The religious conservatives that control both the house and senate believe in restricting women’s reproductive rights and contraceptive use. The rights for a man to buy condoms, get a vasectomy, or even get a prostate exam have never been in question, but a woman must go through an invasive physical examination to even be considered for birth control. In the supreme court case of Roe v. Wade in 1973 ruled that banning abortions is illegal unless the procedure would harm the mother or take her life (McBride). Texas governor Rick Perry (R) signed a bill that could lead to the closure of most abortion clinics and resource clinics such as Planned Parenthood the teen pregnancy rates have grown from 35,063 in 2011 to 43,335 in 2014…

    History Of Planned Parenthood

    From the time its conception, the United States has taken pride in existing as a country for the people. The actions of both federal and state governments should subsequently reflect the eclectic needs of an expanding and diverse populace. In order to provide the very basic necessities for its citizens, the government has a fundamental obligation to ensure access to quality and comprehensive healthcare services, including those focused on sexual and reproductive health. This is typically accomplished through delegation to smaller nonprofit organizations, most notably the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA). Though the beginning of a new presidency and reign of a majority-Republican Congress threatens to eradicate Planned Parenthood,…
