                                                    Is funding for birth control necessary and effective?
1. Introduction
- Cuts are being made when it comes to funding places like Planned Parenthood and other clinics that offer free birth control. Are these clinics effective in preventing a rising number in teenage pregnancies, or should these funds continue being cut?

2. Statistics and Facts about teenage pregnancy in the United States.
- Are there rising numbers over the last decade?
- Do teenage pregnancies cost the government money and funding when it comes to welfare or other government assisting programs?

3. Presenting one side: Continue to cut funding

4. Presenting the opposing side of how government funding is needed to lower the amount of teenage pregnancies in the United States.

5. Argue one against the other.
- Government assisting and funding prevented X amount of pregnancies and also provides birth control to X amount of people.
-Talk about how its a very conterversial topic because it ties in with abortion and other big topics in our society, which is why there is a very divided opinion on this topic.

6.  I feel as if planned parenthood and other programs like this one have helped a lot of teenagers that didnt have assistance for recieving birth control. Taking this funding away would be very upsetting for some ommunities.
