U.S. right wingers are becoming so anti abortion that they're now threatening to end funding for Planned Parenthood. This is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Planned Parenthood is vitally important in teaching teens to protect themselves against pregnancy, a pregnancy that could well lead to abortion in many cases.
The fact that Planned Parenthood does advocate abortion is the root of the problem and right wingers are going to do their best to eliminate legal abortions. And you know this will only open the door to illegal abortions performed by who knows what which will cause more deaths and mutilations.
Abortion is a touchy subject. It should be a last resort approach to an unwanted pregnancy but it's important for women to use birth control to prevent the pregnancy in the first place. Planned Parenthood is an organization that provides birth control information so why would any government want to stop them?
Teens will continue to have sex no matter how much their parents or religion preaches against it so they must have the tools they need to prevent becoming pregnant when they're not ready for it.
By closing down Planned Parenthood, they are only insuring that the number of abortions and botched abortions will skyrocket. What are they thinking?
