Commentary on "Federal government should defund Planned Parenthood which offers abortion service."

I chose the Blog "From an Immigrant's Perspective" because I wanted to understands the perspective of someone with a different background who most likely has a different point of view than I do. In the article," Federal government should defund Planned Parenthood which offers abortion service." he states that he endorses Donald Trump's idea to fund Planned Parenthood as long as it stops offering abortion services. His first argument for supporting Trump's idea is because he believes that Planned Parenthood is violating federal laws by using federal funds to provide abortion services. The problem with this argument is that abortions are not illegal in the U.S., therefore, the use of funds to provide abortion services are not violating any federal or local laws. Another issue with that argument is that the federal government does not fund Planned Parenthood. They are just like any other private organization whose vast majority of clients use Medicaid and Title X to pay for their services.

His second argument is that he believes that women should not have easy access to abortion services because it encourage young people to be irresponsible and the other life should be taken into consideration. I understand his point of view but he nor I know the number of people that abuse the abortion services. For all, we know a very small number of women abuse it and it would be unfair to take it away from millions of women that need it. Just like anything else, a very few will always abuse it while the vast majority won't just like the laws. He points out that the life of the fetus should be taken into consideration which I agree with him however since the woman is the one carrying the baby and in my opinion, the baby is part of her body and no one should tell her what to do with her body.
