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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
