Five Myths about Planned Parenthood

Five Myths about Planned Parenthood - Washington Post

When it comes to abortions I kind of ride the fence when it comes down to it. I don't agree with abortions being used as birth control but I know that I could never look at another woman who was a victim of rape or incest and tell her that she has to keep her baby because I don't know what I'd do in that situation. I also know that no one can ever stop abortions whether it's legal or not.

I also believe that taking away all of the Title X funding would be a bad idea because there would be less contraceptives to go around. And I don't think that many people realize that if there's less contraceptives to go around that there's going to be more abortions and unintentional pregnancies that will cost the tax payers more money. Well, at least the pregnancies will. So one has to decide, do you want to keep funding Planned Parenthood to keep abortion rates down even though you're against it? Or will you cut funding and inevitably cause abortions rates to go up?
