Why We Should Defund Planned Parenthood

GOP looks to repeal Obamacare and to defund planned parenthood

Why We Should Defund Planned Parenthood

On November 8th, America voted for their political leaders and the result was amazing, because America now has a republican controlled house and senate. Since the 8th, republicans have been preparing themselves for the work that lies ahead. They are gearing up to dismantle Obama's disastrous legacy.

One of the first items on the agenda is the complete repeal of the Affordable Care Act or commonly referred to as Obamacare. Obamacare was terrible from the beginning and the aftermath now shows just how awful it was. Barry kept lying saying how it was great, and many people bought into the lie. Well, anyone with a conscience knows that it was a tragedy and republicans are looking for a full repeal. There is also a gem planted in the legislation to repeal Obamacare. That gem is that Planned Parenthood will be defunded. Hallelujah!

In my opinion, Planned Parenthood is a corrupt organization that makes a killing and they need to be defunded. They claim to be a nonprofit, however, financial records prove that to be a lie. Planned Parenthood generates the majority of their revenue from performing abortions, at about 86 percent of their revenues. When they perform roughly 320,000 abortions a year, the dollars begin to add up.

Planned Parenthood makes enough in profits that they do not need to be funded by the government. I do not believe the government should fund any form of healthcare, let alone Planned Parenthood. The organization just works as an arm of the democrat party. There are many pregnancy centers that will help women without the desire to profit off the death of an innocent child. Those centers will provide the same care and services that Planned Parenthood provides and they will not perform abortions. Planned Parenthood is an abortion mill and they deserve to be defunded.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
