Personally... I disagree with this.
It will be doing more harm to babies, mothers, and men. Very little government funding actually goes towards abortions.
Quote:
Title X does not allow federal funds to be used for abortions. Medicaid, however, does allow government money to be spent on them — in very restricted cases. The 1977 Hyde Amendment dictated that federal Medicaid funds could only be used to fund abortions in cases of rape, incest or to protect the life of the mother.Aug 5, 2015
Men who cannot afford health insurance have benefitted from Planned Parenthood by receiving prostate exams and STD screening. More funding goes towards cancer/STD screening, nutritional counseling, and the most important of them all -- prenatal care. Prenatal care is so important and saves many babies from death or the debilitating consequences of untreated STD's.
Having been in the hospital this previous semester with these mothers and babies... My heart hurts for the mothers and babies who will suffer and/or die as a result of not being able to afford prenatal/postpartum treatment.
