Facts About Abortion: Planned Parenthoo Society
FACTS ABOUT ABORTION taken from www.abortionfacts.com
Fact #1: Every abortion kills an innocent human being.
It is false to claim that no one knows when life begins and dishonest to argue that abortion does not kill a human being.
Every new life begins at conception. This is an irrefutable fact of biology. It is true for animals and true for humans. When considered alongside the law of biogenesis – that every species reproduces after its own kind – we can draw only one conclusion in regard to abortion. No matter what the circumstances of conception, no matter how far along in the pregnancy, abortion always ends the life of an individual human being. Every honest abortion advocate concedes this simple fact.
Faye Wattleton, the longest reigning president of the largest abortion provider in the United States – Planned

In a perfect world, laws would be unnecessary. We would all love our neighbor and regulate our behavior accordingly, but we don't live in that world. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said:
It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty
 important.
Nothing short of anarchy can guarantee the perfect freedom of choice, and so anyone who makes "choice" the basis of their defense for legal abortion is either ignorant or dishonest.
Any civilized society restricts the individual's freedom to choose whenever that choice would harm an innocent person.
When I present the pro-life position on school campuses, I often begin by saying, “I've been introduced as being pro-life, but I want to make clear that I'm really pro-choice. I believe that a person has the right to do whatever she wants with her own body. It's none of our business what choice she makes, and we have no right to impose our morals on others. Whether I like someone's choices or not is irrelevant. She should have the freedom to make her own

    Some people today often think about why do we have laws? and do we really need them? Frank Trippetts explains why many people today don't follow the laws he also talks about the importance of the laws. Trippetts argument is to show people why they should not break the law no matter how big or small the law is. He goes on explaining how millions of americans never think twice before breaking the law. The author's tone is critical to the millions of americans. Some people might think that the laws are unnecessary and people should be responsible enough to not do uneducated choices, they have no idea of what life would be without law.…

    Secondly, another ethical argument in favour of abortion is consciousness. Many people would agree that abortion is completely acceptable under most circumstances as long as the human has no signs of consciousness or presence of rationality. Examples of this are the ability to develop complex language and make tools. Similarly to viability, this point of consciousness is later on in the foetus’ development and growth, as even though all the DNA is there, the fact that there's no higher brain activity strongly suggests that there's no consciousness. Even the later presence of a heartbeat and of primitive streak do not imply consciousness or preciousness, as there is no higher brain activity or self-awareness. Therefore, this argument supports…

    People have a choice, we are self-aware and have “free will”, would you want someone to tell you how to live your life, what you can or cannot do to your body. The argument between Pro-life and Pro-choice people it a very long and heated topic that can and will question your morals to a high extent, Pro-life is mainly populated by highly religious people, while most Pro-choice supports the decision of the “mother” with it being health complications, economic difficulty, and mental stability.…

    The ethical argument that applies to pro-choice abortion is the violinist analogy. If I were hooked to the violinist, I would unhook the tubes the minute I realized I could not take it anymore. I am the one who is hooked to the violinist and I know what I am capable of handling, and someone else cannot tell me that they know when I have enough than myself. The same thing applies to those who are pro-choice and they know their body better than anymore…

    Planned Parenthood, as an organization, has to be seen in everyone’s eyes that it performs wicked and dishonorable murders because their acts are truly unjust and immoral no matter what aspect is deciphered. Planned Parenthood’s goal, in their point of view, is to preserve women’s rights including the power of their bodies. Since the establishment of the organization, Margaret Sanger wanted the extermination of infants because of her own personal experiences. The leaders of Planned Parenthood are very strong and powerful people who cannot be persuaded to change their way of thinking easily which also makes Planned Parenthood seem indestructible. The enemy of Planned Parenthood would…

    The debate over whether abortion should be legal and to what point in the pregnancy it should be allowed has polarized many societies. Many religious preach that at the moment of conception, the new life is human and possesses a soul. Therefore, abortion is murder. Other, less extreme views, suggest the life is not human until there is a recognizable "completion of form." A third view proposes we have an obligation to create a good life for all children already born before we bring more unwanted children into the world.…

    Abortion is a legal and necessary medical procedure to have available in the United States. Despite spiritual, emotional, or physical beliefs, the basic truth of any right or law is that a person is free to express his or her opinion and to fight for causes, provided it does not harm another person. This concept could also be applied to the issue of abortion. Though some may argue that a woman who gets an abortion is, in fact, harming another person, medical research has yet to define personhood as happening in the “moment of conception.” Personhood (which is what the concept would apply to) is defined as happening in the “moment of birth” (ProCon.org, 2012).…

    Planned Parenthood is a non-profit organization founded by Margaret Sanger in 1916. Planned Parenthood began as the first birth control clinic in America (“Planned Parenthood | Official Site”). It began in Brooklyn, New York, and it was opened with Sanger, her sister, and a friend (“Planned Parenthood | Official Site”). Sanger’s original missions for Planned Parenthood were, providing contraception and other health services to women and men, funding research on birth control and educating specialists and the public about the results, and advancing access to family planning in the United States and around the world (“Planned Parenthood | Official Site”). Planned Parenthood has always seen people opposing it, from the very beginning when police raided the clinic, and Sanger, her sister and her friend were arrested, to now with Republicans and “pro-life” activists trying to defund and bring an end to the organization (“Planned Parenthood | Official Site”). Planned Parenthood is not the monster that republicans and “pro-life” activists make it out to be, contrary to what they may think…

    Life starts when two reproductive cells unite. It is false to say that life begins when a baby is born. If they aren’t alive, then why do women kill them? Babies start as a tiny embryo, and they grow and grow. They are born, then they keep growing into an infant, and then a child, and then eventually an adult. The only difference between the embryo in the womb, and the adult lots and lots of nutrition and say 20 years time. “Abortion (is) murder (because) the being inside the mother is living. The definition of something living includes the ability to grow, which is exactly what is going on inside a woman who is pregnant. An abortion ceases the growing process, therefore ending the future life of a human being. This little being may not start off with a heartbeat or brain activity, but cells are still dividing and allowing it to grow.” (Ross,…

    She opened her first birth-control clinic in 1916 in Brooklyn, New York. The chain continued to thrive, and the Planned Parenthood Federation of America was born. Planned Parenthood has grown from the simple birth control clinic in several ways “PPFA works in a number of ways to achieve its mission of providing information and services to those who are facing reproductive choices. PPFA clinics provide the following services: abortion or abortion referrals, family planning, birth control, pregnancy testing and counseling, adoption referrals, prenatal care, sex education, voluntary sterilization, HIV testing, testing for sexually transmitted diseases, and gynecological care”. Planned Parenthood may complete abortion, but it is not paid for by donations or US funding “it is not a mystery that Planned Parenthood pays for abortions. Thus, if another organization is truly opposed to abortions, they should simply not make a contribution in the first place” (Carone 3). Although many people today are pro-life, there are a lot of pro-choice followers to be found as well. So, Planned Parenthood would be able to survive without certain donors inputting money. But, cutting all funding would expunge the program completely. Cutting all funding will cause millions to be bereft from PPFA’s services. Cutting all funding would be America making a huge…
