Claeys, V. (2010). Brave and angry: The creation and development of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). European Journal of Contraception & Reproductive Health Care, 15, S67-S76.
The author explains how donor funding led to the establishment of Planned Parenthood in the United States of America. The author further describes the expenditure incurred by the organization in acquiring contraceptives needed for family planning purposes. Claeys concludes by explaining how the demand for contraceptives has increased due to increasing rate of marriages. The increase in demand calls for more funding from new donors and the federal government. The journal, however, fails to describe the limitations of using contraceptives to reproductive health yet there exist many reported cases concerning side effects in the usage of contraceptives. The article is relevant to the topic under research because contraceptives constitute one of the major services delivered by Planned Parenthood in the United States of America.
Hill, B. (2015). Casey Meets the Crisis Pregnancy Centers. Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics, 43(1), 59-71.
Hill explains the role played by Planned Parenthood in assisting pregnant mothers across the United States of America. The authors describe how attending to pregnant patients has consumed a lot of resources from the organization. The number of expectant mothers visiting Planned Parenthood has been increasing annually. The author describes how things may worsen if the federal government and well-wishers do not come in to raise more funds for the organization. The author explains that failure to increase funding would lead to poor service delivery to pregnant mothers and result to increase in infant mortality rate and maternal mortality ratios. The author concludes by urging the government and other donors to join hands in funding the organization so as to improve the health condition of pregnant mothers. The limitation of the journal is that it fails to compute statistics of successful and miscarried pregnancies handled by the organization. The article is relevant to the research topic because pregnant mothers are among the key clients for Planned Parenthood.
Bernstein, E. (2015). Disclosure two ways. Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics, 43(2), 245-254.
Bernstein begins by disclosing the rate at which Planned Parenthood has conducted abortions in the United States of America. The author reveals that most of the money Planned Parenthood receives facilitates abortions. The author is concerned that theses abortions could be prevented if the organizations could be well funded to educate the general public especially the youth on abstinence from sex before marriage. The Journal notes that most of the abortions are carried out by teenagers in middle-level colleges to avoid responsibility and stress since they are usually not ready for parenthood. The author concludes by urging the federal government to provide funding to Planned Parenthood so as to facilitate campaigns amongst youth on abstinence to reduce cases of abortion that are costly to handle.
