Are you prepared to have a child at this point in your life? If you answered no, there are preventive measures you could take, but your right for them is being threatened. Birth control is an extremely touchy topic in today’s society. A vast amount of people argue abortion is murder. Trump is trying to end contraceptives, some religions are against them, yet, four out of five women have used the pill, and 61 million women are in their childbearing years. The fact of it is, a substantial amount of women struggle to obtain contraceptives, especially with Trump attempting to diminish it, but providing birth control coverage will better the lives of not just women, but the entire world.

The Trump administration made new rules making it easier for employers to drop birth control cover on “religious grounds.” He made it to where new insurance companies can object providing it on moral grounds without requiring any documentation. The Affordable Care Act requires private health care insurance plans to provide contraception with no out-of-pocket cost to consumers. However, an article called “ Contraceptive Cash” says “ The Trump administration also puts moral objections on the same level as religious ones. There is no clear legal authority in doing so.” On top of that, his new rules undermine Obama Care. Trump is taking away the right of millions of young women. Though people are entitled to their own opinions, I am a believer in birth control rights. Women have their own choices on their bodies. It benefits them in being able to enjoy their sexual freedoms without having to support a little human being prior to them being prepared to do so. It cuts down expenditures payed by taxes, and even lessens the amount of foster care victims. Birth control betters everyone’s lives in some

    One of the most effective and crucial programs for women’s health is currently under attack by the so-called president of the United States, Donald Trump. In an attempt to convince the people that he is willing to stand up for everyone, including the unborn, but instead, Mr. Trump is oppressing women and taking away their rights as human beings. Without Planned Parenthood, 2.5 million men and women would be left without affordable, high-quality health care. One in five women have visited a Planned Parenthood in their lifetime. The fact that all of the care and help Planned Parenthood gives can all be lost due to something as petty as abortion services is almost laughable.

    I also believe that through family planning, women’s health approves and so does the status of women in the community. Their health and status approves since women have access to Planned Parenthood where they are empowered to make educated decisions about sexual and reproductive health. Planned Parenthood clinics serve a majority of women receiving publicly funded contraceptive services and no longer having these clinics would play key roles in many women’s lives. By defunding Planned Parenthood, women will have to find new places to get contraceptives but they may not find a place they can afford and, in turn, don’t feel the need to continue using contraceptives. By not practicing safe sex, women are in danger

    Hobby Lobby (2014). The Supreme Court determined that for-profit corporations could deny health insurance coverage to employees for religious reasons.3 This was a poor decision. An employer should not be able to dictate the type of healthcare decisions made by an employee. In Congress, I would support legislation that restores employers’ compliance to provide contraception coverage. Another important type of contraception is emergency contraception such as the “morning after pill”.

If an employer qualifies for exemption, the government can bypass the employer with religious objections to birth control.

    Planned Parenthood is a topic that is continuously discussed in correlation with the concept of money as many believe that it “...emphasizes abortions instead of preventative care” (Attira). Because of birthrights, abortions, and the controversy that surrounds such issues, many individuals believe that the government should not be responsible for providing funding. Therefore, actually defunding Planned Parenthood is often brought up as a solution to the highly-debated consensus of government-funded healthcare services. Although many believe that creating a barrier between opinion and action is a positive push, actually defunding the program would be more catastrophic than perceived. Defunding Planned Parenthood would mean blocking and preventing individuals from receiving the health care that they are reliant on.

    Donald Trump believes, “‘banning all federal taxpayer funding of abortions will save the lives of over one million Americans from abortions’”(Steven). This statement is false and inaccurate. Instead of those women going and getting an abortion safely carried out at Planned Parenthood, she will go get an abortion in a more dangerous way ultimately putting her life at risk too, which will lead to higher deaths. As Taylor Jacobs said in the article on the Odyssey online, “ Regardless of your personal opinions regarding abortions, it is not possible to stop every woman from getting the procedure if they are unprepared to have a child, no matter what programs are defunded. Thousands of women die from unsafe abortions per year and defunding Planned Parenthood would make getting an abortion even more difficult and likely increase the numbers of deaths.”

Many argue that the law goes too far by mandating Americans buy something they don’t want or need.

    Allowing women to purchase over the counter contraceptives would save money for the women buying the pills as well as the state. Reproductive health researchers at the University of California, San Francisco have put together a statistical model that represents over the counter birth control being sold for little to no cost for the women. (Belluck) “ In the scenario, an additional 11 to 21 percent of low income women would start using the pill, resulting in an estimated seven to 25 percent decrease in unintended pregnancies” (Belluck). With a decrease in unintended pregnancies money would be saved for the public health plans because they would be paying less for pregnancy and birth

    The defunding would leave women and men without health insurance due to not being able to afford it which would lead to no birth control and screenings needed to remain healthy. Also, defunding of Planned Parenthood would be a big mistake because the organization provides services for approximately 2.6 million women. Medicaid would help with cost of having babies and women with young children who qualify for welfare, but what about the services that Medicaid does not offer to men and women who do qualify for Medicaid or welfare. According to statistics, the federal government budget is 3.3 trillion and Planned Parenthood only gets 500 million, which is a drop in a bucket. The legislators have become insensitive to the needs of the less fortunate when it comes to the health and welfare of citizens.

    1 out of 5 every 5 American women have visited a PPH at least once, Which is a big number of women if you think about it. Many will oppose me and bring up how we should defund planned parenthood because they still perform abortions which, in religious terms, is morally wrong. But defunding Planned Parenthood threatens millions of men and women's chances of any health care. It also won't stop abortions, it will encourage the practice of at-home abortions or them being performed by someone who isn't licensed. The money Planned Parenthood gets from the government doesn't even go towards abortions.
