Rant & Rave: Eastview Campus

Eastview campus students were asked:

"What do you think about the State's recent decision to cut funding from women's health organizations in Austin like Planned Parenthood?"

"I have never been to Planned Parenthood. What will happen to our society when the funding for assistance are cut, and what will happen to the poor? I guess, the leaders of Texas don't care as long they keep themselves rich. As a nation, we must unite and help one another. And, if we throw the poor people to the dogs, believe me, the crime will go up because people still have to survive."

"I think it is an unfortunate and ill advised decision. Access to health care should be a basic right, and de- funding an organization like Planned Parenthood takes away the great resource for women, especially low- income women."

"I am very surprised! I think that is wrong. That teen pregnancy will increase. Teenagers will be uneducated on taking care of their bodies because they cannot afford it. So the STD will spread even more. And, everything will start to go downhill."
