The Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), commonly referred to as just Planned Parenthood, is a non-profit organization providing reproductive health and maternal and child health services. Planned Parenthood is the largest provider of contraception and abortions in the United States and has received federal funding since 1970, when President Richard Nixon signed into law the Family Planning Services and Population Research Act. The law provides funding for contraception, family planning information, and abortions. The clinic performs roughly 300,000 abortions a year among 3 million women. Planned Parenthood opposes the idea that a young women should first gain parental consent before an abortion because they believe that it is a violation of privacy. They also oppose the refusal clause, which allows pharmacists to refuse to dispense drugs and abortificients against their beliefs. They have also opposed suggested waiting periods before abortions and bans against partial-birth abortions, which has been illegal in the U.S. since 2003. For those of you who are not familiar with abortions, there are three types:
1) The first method of abortion is Aspiration.
This method involves the placement of a vacuum instrument into the cervix and applying suction to remove the fetus from the womb. This method of abortion can be performed within the first 3-12 weeks of development.
2) The second method is Dialation and Curettage (D&C)
This method involves the use of both metal instrument and suctional tools to empty the contents of the uterus. This method of abortion can be performed within the first 16-18 weeks of development.
3) Intact Dialation and Extraction (IDX or partial-birth)
This method involves exposing part of the baby from the cervix. The cranium is crashed and the contents of the infant are sucked out. The dead infant is removed and discarded as biological waste. This method can be performed starting at 30 weeks of development up to delivery.
