Funding Planned Parenthood and Other Abortion Providers

[ShyGuyInChicago]

I am curious since our country gives every woman and girl the right to have an abortion does the government have a responsibility to fund Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers. Since I would support a universal healthcare system, I would say yes. Even though I we do not have universal healthcare, I would still say yes on the grounds that the government should in general and for the most part make sure that the rights it gives us are easily accessible and that it should not for the most part attempt to make it harder to exercise such rights.

I'm rather iffy on this one.It's a very touchy subject in what the government should and should not fund.I believe it would be best if this were decide by the states government,and not the federal,since many states have different views(example,I live Arkansas,lots of Baptist,lots of pro lifers).

I personally don't approve of abortion,but I know with a ever growing population,and how many babies aren't "wanted", and it should be the women's choice,it shouldn't be illegal.

How ever, I am not sure if I can approve of it or not.I believe the government should be working to better us as a whole.I do think if we stopped the population(rationally)over time things like hunger would get beter.I'm just not so sure if we should have the government fund it or not.I think if we got to the core of the problem,like being proactive as in teaching better sex ed and condom,no matter if it offends some parents,we could maybe prevent abortion from even happening.I think I guess I'm on the fence with this one.
