Planned Parenthood opened in 1933 for women who struggling financially and who did not have access to birthcontol. P.P is a non-profit organization that assisted women with their reproductive health. On Peter Baklinski released and bias article about P.P. This writer slandered the name of the organization and was one of the reasons the company lost over 61 million in taxed based funding. In this writing I will be analyzing the credibility, validity, and reliability of this article. On November 25th 2011 Baslinski wrote an article about plan parenthood called “The Most difficult year in our history “’ laments Planned Parenthood president. The writer began the article by quoting the P.P`s president Cecile Richards thanking supporters for standing with them during the, what she labeled, the most trying time in our history. After commenting about Richards, the article took a different turn as the writer criticized P.P by stating “THE PASSED ELEVEN MONTHS HAD BEEN DIFFICULT FOR THE ABORTION GIANT”. Proceeding through the article Baklinski gave a brief description of P.P eleven month history starting in February of 2011.The writer notified the historical amendment to defund P.P had passed in the US house but was defeated in the democratic controlled senate. In the middle of the article I then noticed “SIGN A PETIION TO DEFUND P.P HERE” Then it seemed the writers reasonability started to become compromised. The article continued accusing P.P of sex trafficking and pro sexual child abuse. The writer continued to allege mishandling of federal funds, repeatedly stating “abortion giants”, and even state that a former P.P employee, Catherine Adair claimed she was forced to urge women to abort. Finally at the end of the column the writer posted another link to petition to defund P.P. Baklinski stated Plan Parenthood was covering and aiding sex traffickers and covering up sexual

    Planned Parenthood has been in the makings since 1916. The organization started out as a health clinic that offered free birth control to women. It continued to progress over the years until 1942 the organization, which was called Little Rock Birth Control Clinic at the time, changed to Planned Parenthood. The organization still goes by this name to this day. Although the organization offers much more than just free birth control to women. In fact, in recent times the organization has become the center of attention for many groups of people because of one of their most popular services; abortion. Most people see abortion as an equivalent to murder. Many people claim that if a woman did not want to have a baby she should not have participated…

    Komen for the Cure stopping its funding of Planned Parenthood, the public’s information of the situation was based only on Planned Parenthood’s side of the story. Planned Parenthood utilized its crisis communication plan and quickly took to mass media and social media to criticize Susan G. Komen. The decision to stop funding to Planned Parenthood was, in fact, justifiable by Susan G. Komen, as the controversy over Planned Parenthood’s federal investigation presented a real threat to other organizations like SGK that were associated with it. The way Komen thought that they could avoid any backlash by not issuing any press release and remaining mute for days after the story broke shows incompetence at the highest levels of Komen’s organization. Transparency and openness in the form of an initial press release, a justification of the decision, and participation in the ongoing coverage of the decision would have gone further to maintain the organization’s…

    The evaluation criteria I think Planned Parenthood should use comes from the Program Evaluation Grid Guide, which is a Planning and Assessment Tool for Nonprofit Organizations. The program categories this organization should evaluate on is 1) program values, 2) effectiveness and quality of the programs, 3) financial responsibility, 4) program's importance to all stakeholders or investors in the arrangement, and 5) program marketing. Also, Kluger (2006), suggests, “Non-profit organization are graded on 24 individual factors that are comprised of five fields. These five fields are: strategic values of a program, the effectiveness/quality, financial value of a program, a program's importance to key stakeholders, and marketing” (p. 33). These five metrics according to him are crucial to helping key-decision makers in an organization determine budgeting, program reduction or elimination, determine an organization's strength and challenges of programs, and agency-wide…

    For this project, I would like to discuss the case of Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey in 1992. This case was paramount in changing the way our country handles abortions. I think this topic will be very interesting and informative about how increasingly stringent abortion policies have affected the accessibility of abortions in this country for women. Additionally, it would be important to understand the implication this case had on the topic of women’s’ reproductive rights. First, I found this case interesting because before the results of this case were implemented, abortion rates in the United States were slowly on the rise. Right after this case allowed states to regulate abortion policies, the amount of abortions…

    Planned Parenthood Summary

    Planned Parenthood itself isn’t necessarily the problem, but the people that oppose it. Christian Policy Analysist, Sarah Torre, has many things to say on the issue of Planned Parenthood, although she doesn’t necessarily try to see it from a side other than hers. While reflecting upon rumors about Planned Parenthood selling tissue and body parts of unborn babies, Torre presents that government funding needs to be cut entirely from the organization. She supports her argument by making claims such as Planned Parenthood has enough money, and that there are enough other places for women to get the care and services provided there. Being the leading abortion provider in the US is the authors top reason, however, for prompting her “defund Planned Parenthood” campaign, even though abortions only make up about 3% of all services provided. She claims it is immoral for taxpayers, especially those who are against abortion, to be required to pay for an affiliation that provides the very thing they are so much against. The fact seems to be forgotten that although not everybody believes that healthcare, such as programs provided by the Affordable Care Act, are not approved or liked by everyone. Even so, everybody has to pay taxes that fund these programs, and really how is it different from taxpayers money going to Planned Parenthood? Although she is a woman, Torre seems to have forgotten the battles waged in order for women to have free reign of their own bodies, including the right to choose whether or not they should abort a baby that is unwanted. American’s in general need to realize that women should not be dictated by men, or other women for that matter, no matter where they are coming from. Opinions are not always wanted, and just because someone believes something does not make it right for them to force their beliefs onto other people. Americans need to have…

The potential scenario, said Bassett, is based on the feedback from focus groups commissioned by the abortion giant.…

    Although Planned Parenthood will never say so directly, they often do not tell patients all necessary information. Women are often pushed into the procedure without being provided information on the health risks that can come with abortion. As well, as that they are terminating a human life (SOURCE 3). Planned Parenthood will never admit to terminating another person’s life, because they overlook that a fetus is living. However, add something about fetus being alive. A mother terminating her own child, the exact opposite of how a mother should act (SOURCE 3). It is a mother’s instinct to protect and take care of her child. By aborting the child, the mother is doing the opposite. Add something about PP persuading. The Federal Government should not be funding and supporting a company that persuades mothers to deny their motherly instinct and terminate their child’s…

    Abortion has always been a very controversial topic since it’s legalization in states like Colorado, California, and North Carolina in the late 1960s, and since the Supreme Court case “Roe v. Wade” came to a decision to allow it. From then on, the number of abortionists have rapidly increased to fulfill the abortion demands of the country, mainly because the 1960s was a time period with sexual revolutions and feminist movements. Sexual intercourse became more socially acceptable outside the strict boundaries of heterosexual marriage. Because of this social change, and the introduction of contraceptives such as the birth control pill, out-of-wedlock births, sexually transmitted diseases, teen pregnancy, and divorce have all risen considerably.…

    When people think of reproductive health care centers their mind automatically jumps to the name Planned Parenthood. Since its founding in 1916 by Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood has amounted to a number of people rallying both for and against them. The fight for Planned Parenthood has never completely been resolved, and even now the issue of federally- funding Planned Parenthood is an issue discussed at large when deciding who to elect to represent our country for the next four to eight years. People advocating for the funding of Planned Parenthood by the federal government are doing something that is rightfully so. It should not be an issue whether or not Planned Parenthood should be funded or not. The question that asks whether it should…

    Planned Parenthood has been in the news lately regarding controversial abortions, procedures of the tissues that result from abortions. Conservatives of the House of Representatives are trying again to stop federal assistances to Planned Parenthood. Oppositional views from both sides could lead to shutting down the government; because democrats would veemingly oppose any bill defunding the organization. This could result in Republicans loosing support in the 2016 elections, but many conservatives say that it’s a risk and fight worth taking on. However, there is a lot of criticism on why GOP decides now that they should try again to defund Planned Parenthood. They argue that the leaked videos this past summer and evaluation of negotiation and completing the new budget puts the conservatives in a spot to argue the money that is set aside for planned parenthood be given to another organization more deserving of the it.…

    Margaret Sanger, co-founder of Planned Parenthood, advocated for women's rights when she stated that, "No woman can call herself free who does not control her own body." Planned Parenthood has been around since the early nineteen hundreds and aids women with affordable healthcare. The root of controversy over federal funding Planned Parenthood is abortions. Abortions have existed since the 1880s, however the fight for women's choice in abortions began in the 1960s, and the decisions on abortion have largely been made by politicians who will never need affordable women's healthcare. Planned Parenthood funding would not be made controversial, had abortion been left out of the equation. Planned Parenthood…

    Most prominently, PPFA clinics offer affordable birth control, Pap smears for screening cervical cancer, life-saving abortions, breast exams, and STD tests to women, men, and young people alike. In the 100 years since nurse Margaret Sanger created the organization, the growth and expansion of Planned Parenthood, originally called the American Birth Control League, is testament to thes success and growing need for accessible reproductive health services in the United States (Alter). The organization has become practically ubiquitous as, following the current trend, 1 in every 5 American women will utilize the services offered by Planned Parenthood at some point in her life (Ernst). This is possible, according to the official PPFA website, through “56 independent local affiliates and 650 clinics currently in operation around the country to provide access to quality healthcare and educational services” (“Planned Parenthood at a Glance”). These clinics should receive government funding in order to continue serving the fundamental health care needs of the people, the same mission the organization has upheld since its founding in the…

    Planned Parenthood is an organization that provides health services for the reproductive system around the United States and globally.
