Planned Parenthood/Fetal Tissue Research: A Policy Issue Since the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade, legalized abortion under certain conditions, the issue of abortion has invoked heated debate in both the public and legislative spheres of the United States. Today, the ideological views held by the public regarding abortion remain divided: 50% of Americans identify as “pro-choice” while 44% identify as “pro-life” (Saad & Jones, 2015). Despite controversy, the nonprofit women’s health organization, Planned Parenthood, has been offering abortion services at select clinics across the country. Planned Parenthood has repeatedly been a target of anti-abortion activists who seek to defund and/or terminate Planned Parenthood services.
