I still am wondering though how much money my organization needs to make to provide health care for people. My organization faces some challenges sometimes such as getting attacked. Their main strength though is to provide reproductive health care to people. Their main weakness is that people think of them as an abortion center when it is actually a healthcare center]]> 2018-11-29 18:01:37 UTC https://padlet.com/147004158/j7n56hl81rra/wish/309451797 Why 147004158 https://padlet.com/147004158/j7n56hl81rra/wish/309469852 I chose the Planned Parenthood organization because I already had some background information about the way they operated. My mom inspired me to choose this organization. She went to Planned Parenthood to get healthcare before she got married. She went there because she couldn't afford health care. This inspires me because I think everyone should get health care to make sure they are healthy. I still barely knew information on Planned Parenthood. I researched a lot and found out a lot more about this organization. This organization has interested me along the way. ]]> 2018-11-29 18:29:27 UTC https://padlet.com/147004158/j7n56hl81rra/wish/309469852
