Which, in comparison to the way other non-profits handle their funds now-a-days is pretty good. ]]> 2021-06-21 14:08:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cikasprzyc2/8k29m4fzr2pskrrr/wish/1617723197 cikasprzyc2 https://padlet.com/cikasprzyc2/8k29m4fzr2pskrrr/wish/1617745078 Planned Parenthood and abortion rights are one of the most controversial topics in the country. For the past century, people have been trying to decide if it is ethically okay for women to abort their unborn and undeveloped fetuses, the United States currently operates under Pro-Choice beliefs, claiming women should have the right to make decisions about their own bodies. However, many politicians are Pro-Life meaning they believe women should be forced no matter their life status, to carry out all pregnancies. I don't know what will happen to planned parenthood in the future if we as a country begin operating under Pro-Life beliefs but hopefully, for the sake of all women in America, that doesn't happen. ]]> 2021-06-21 14:19:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cikasprzyc2/8k29m4fzr2pskrrr/wish/1617745078 cikasprzyc2 https://padlet.com/cikasprzyc2/8k29m4fzr2pskrrr/wish/1617758512 In my own personal opinion, following my own beliefs, I believe planned parenthood is a fantastic place to donate time or money to. 78%, while not being a perfect 100% is still a good portion of money and will still do so much good for so many people. Planned parenthood help millions of people each year and despite all the controversy, they still continue to do amazing things for so many women in this country. I feel good that my donations are being used to help girls like me receive the reproductive health care they deserve. ]]> 2021-06-21 14:26:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cikasprzyc2/8k29m4fzr2pskrrr/wish/1617758512
