From reading the mission statement provided by Planned Parenthood on their website, one may experience a feeling of security. They believe in equality and individual choice, there are no discriminations and people can go there to deal with problems they may be having in a safe and responsible manner.
There have been several controversies in Planned Parenthood's past, but despite their difficulties, many supporters have stood up to keep Planned Parenthood in business as an option to those who may have no where else to go.
An example of someone's willingness to sacrifice their own lives to help others would be Margaret Sanger. She challenged the law by criminally distributing contraceptives.
Planned Parenthood is also seen as an asset to the College lifestyle.
Michigan State University Sophomore Jessica Davis said, "I think that having a Planned Parenthood near MSU is great because as girls new to college, we often make reckless decisions and its nice knowing that there is somewhere we can go that is safe to learn more about the situation we got ourselves into. Also the fact that they sell a morning after pill at a discounted price to college students is helpful, because just being here a year a half, I know girls who have needed that assistance and it was convenient for them.

Federal Funding cuts for Planned Parenthood
There had been plans to cut federal funding aid to Planned Parenthood which was passed in the House but failed to pass Senate.
There are many reasons behind the motivation for government officials decision to cut federal funding, one of them being the fact that fetal material was uncovered in a dumpster behind an abortion clinic that Planned Parenthood referred their clients to, according to Dr. Richard Wampler, Professor of Human Development and Family Studies at Michigan State University.
Those facilities were closed upon a judges ruling on November 7th this year.
There was also a documentary done with hidden cameras that exposed a Planned Parenthood facility in New Jersey of aiding a pimp in his efforts to run a sex ring.
Among these reasons to cut federal funding, there are still supporters of the organization and Wampler said he believes that in the event Federal Funding is cut, supports will continue to donate to the organization in order to keep it running.
Although the House voted to cut Federal Funding, there were still representatives who opposed the amendment to Title X. One of those representatives being Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., who admitted a secret she had told hardly anyone up until the day of the vote.
