Defund Planned Parenthood

"President Donald Trump privately signed a bill on Thursday that allows states to withhold federal money from organizations that provide abortion services, including Planned Parenthood, a group frequently targeted by Republicans."

As we recently discussed in the book "Pushed" women's rights are often ignored and the rights of a fetus are put above the mothers. We learned that federal funding can not go towards abortions. When people argue to defund planned parenthood they are not defunding abortions they are defunding healthcare for women. Just because a business performs procedures you may not agree with, when your money does not go towards the procedure, you do not have a right to take money away from other health procedures that women need. Abortion, in my opinion, is used as an excuse used by men to be able to defund an organization that they will never need. Before Trump defunds Planned Parenthood, he should realize that millions of people will be out health care, causing more federal problems and poverty.
