I read an article that was under the health section of the New York Times, and it read Louisiana Lays Bare Difficulty in Push to Cut Planned Parenthood by Jackie Calmes on September 1, 2015. This story peaked my interest, because I was very surprised at how many people could not afford to go to the doctor. The statistics for the number of people who had diseases and knew nothing about it was astonishing. Planned Parenthood is normally used to fund abortions, which they hardly ever do. However, last year they tested for sexually transmitted diseases for nearly 10,000 low-income patients. What drew me to this article was that I had no idea that so many people could not afford healthcare. It really hurt my heart to see all those statistics for the people in Louisiana. Congress cutting the funding for the Planned Parenthood would hurt so many people, because they would not be able to afford to see what is going on in their bodies. Even though cutting funds for low-income people would hurt, it would put a halt on the abortions which I think is a good thing. I am totally against people getting abortions. Rather than seeing the baby as a mistake or a reminder of something awful that happened, see it as a blessing. Therefore, I think Congress should let Planned Parenthood keep the funding for people of low-income, but I do not think Planned Parenthood should fund abortions.
