Tigers not overlooking the Golden Flashes

TAYLOR CURET · Sports Contributor

hen LSU ranked outside the Associated Press Preseason top 10 for the ﬁrst time since 2010, uncertainty seemed to be the only certainty for the Tigers in the 2013 season. But after two impressive showings, the talk of LSU as a title contender has resurfaced. No. 8 LSU (2-0) plays its second of threestraight home games on Saturday against MidAmerican Conference member Kent State (11, 0-1 MAC) at 6:00 p.m. in Tiger Stadium. Saturday will be the ﬁrst meeting between the two teams. LSU rose to the No. 8 spot in the rankings this week as senior quarterback Zach Mettenberger and the offense are clicking on all cylinders, while junior receiver Odell Beckham Jr. leads the nation in all-purpose yards with 603 through two games. Despite all the success and external hype, it’s been just another week of practice for the Tigers. Junior running back Terrence Magee said preparation is always the same, no matter the outside distractions or the opponent. “Coach Cam [Cameron] always preaches KENT STATE, see page 4

Kent State running back Dri Archer (1) runs the ball on Nov. 17, 2012, during the Golden Flashes’ 31-24 victory against Bowling Green in Bowling Green, Ohio. The Tigers are looking at this game like any other.

Students trapped in the heat and massive lines outside Tiger Stadium last Saturday don’t need to worry for this week’s game – the new system that caused hour-long delays has been changed, according to Student Government President John Woodard, who attended a meeting with LSU Athletics representatives this week. The Athletics Department instituted a new system for organizing student entry into Tiger Stadium for last week’s game against UAB, assembling entrants into a single, “Disney-style” line. For this Saturday’s game, lines will revert to the “chute-style” system used in the past, splitting the crowd into eight lines that lead directly toward ticket and ID scanners, Woodard said. Each line will also feature a bag IMPROVEMENTS, see page 4

Baton Rouge man on mission to stop racial profiling Camille Stelly Contributing Writer

Arthur Reed was headed to jail by the time he was in seventh grade. When he was released at 19-years-old, he was heavily involved in gangs and tried to commit suicide three times. Reed’s self-described thug lifestyle changed after a life-threatening car collision in 2003, when he realized life was too precious to make bad decisions. Now, Reed is a motivational speaker and philanthropist. Reed, better known as “Silky Slim,” founded Stop The Killing, Inc., a non-proﬁt established to set at-risk youth on a path to success. The organization’s mission, Reed said, is to deter youth from getting into gangs and going to prison by teaching effective communication and conﬂict resolution skills.

INTERNATIONAL Guinness World Records discovers world’s smallest dog in Puerto Rico SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Rico can now boast it is home to the world’s smallest dog — at least when it comes to height. The brown Chihuahua named Miracle Milly is shorter than a soup can, standing at 3.8 inches (9.65 centimeters) tall when measured from backbone to paw, Guinness World Records announced Thursday. She is nearly 2 years old, weighs roughly 1 pound (half a kilogram) and is known for often sticking out her tiny tongue when someone takes her picture. Israel skeptical of Western hopes for new Iranian president VIENNA (AP) — Israel on Thursday expressed skepticism of Western hopes that the election of a new Iranian president could reduce tensions over the country’s nuclear program, asserting that Tehran remains committed to building nuclear arms. The Iranian envoy lashed back at a meeting of the U.N. nuclear agency, accusing Israel of making “unsubstantiated allegations” about a nonexistent nuclear weapons program meant to divert attention from Israel’s own nuclear weapons arsenal.

Syria to offer data on chemical weapons, agrees to Russian plan BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian President Bashar Assad publicly agreed Thursday to a Russian plan to secure and destroy his chemical weapons, but said the proposal would work only if the US halts threats of military action. Assad also said his government will start submitting data on its chemical weapons stockpile a month after signing the convention banning such weapons. The treaty states that a nation becomes a party 30 days after such a letter is submitted.

Cluster of balloons used in attempt to cross the Atlantic Ocean

Death penalty sought against Natchitoches police officer

CARIBOU, Maine (AP) — Hundreds of multicolored balloons used Thursday to launch a balloonist for a trans-Atlantic crossing look like a page taken from the script of the movie “Up.” Instead of using a conventional hot-air balloon, Jonathan Trappe lifted off using more than 300 helium-ﬁlled balloons, like those used in the animated movie. “The Atlantic Ocean has been crossed many times and in many ways, but never quite like this,” the North Carolina native said on his website, which detailed his efforts.

NASA’s Voyager 1 probe has left the solar system after 36 years in space

MANY (AP) — Sabine Parish District Attorney Don Burkett has ﬁled notice of his intent to seek the death penalty against a Natchitoches police ofﬁcer indicted on charges related to the Aug. 20 kidnapping and beating death of a Many man. Burkett tells The Times he reached the decision on going for death following discussions with the family of homicide victim, 24-year-old Tony Procell, and after “consideration of the facts of the case.” Indictments were handed up on Robert Barthelemy following a special grand jury session Wednesday that lasted more than two hours.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. (AP) — NASA’s Voyager 1 probe has left the solar system, boldly going where no machine has gone before. Thirty-six years after it rocketed away from Earth, the plutonium-powered spacecraft has escaped the sun’s inﬂuence and is now cruising 11.5 billion miles away in interstellar space or the vast, cold emptiness between the stars, NASA said Thursday. Never before has a man-made object left the solar system as it is commonly understood.

CROWLEY (AP) — The city of Crowley’s saggy pants ordinance takes effect Friday. The ordinance, approved in August, prohibits the wearing of outer clothing sagging below the waist exposing the undergarments in public places or in public view. Any person in violation of the ordinance will be charged with a misdemeanor and subject to penalties of not more than $200, a prison term of not less than 60 days or both.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. (AP) — The Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium says the mother of a 2-year-old boy who was fatally mauled when he fell into a wild African dogs exhibit is to blame for her son’s death and shouldn’t be allowed to sue. The zoo’s attorneys made that argument in a response ﬁled this week to the wrongful-death lawsuit brought by Jason and Elizabeth Derkosh, whose son, Maddox, died Nov. 4 after falling over a 4-foottall wooden railing into the exhibit when his mother lifted him up to get a better look.

University evaluations to expand undergrad research Fernanda Zamudio-Suarez Staff Writer

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools will review the University’s accreditation this year. In order for their Principles of Accreditation to be met, undergraduates must meet higher research standards. As a result, the University must implement a Quality Enhancement Plan, and this year the plan chosen by committee is increased undergraduate research. According to the SACS website, the review is done through two parts: a document that is reviewed by an offsite committee and an on-site review group later in the year.

The idea is to get more freshmen involved in understanding the principles of research and to make it a whole research process, Rouse said. This benefits students academically and boosts their resumes, which could help students get into graduate school.

Rouse also said although the program will not be mandatory, it will be implemented as an option to enhance the academic experience.

SAFETY

Middleton ramps up security Michael Tarver Contributing Writer

The threat of a mugging or theft could add even more stress to a student’s life, especially during exam weeks. But whether it’s inside or outside, Interim Dean of LSU Libraries Elaine Smyth wants to add security around Middleton Library because of instances in the past affecting the safety of University students. During certain times of the year, such as finals week, the library stays open throughout the night and students are free to enter the library as they wish to study. The problem at hand is the minimal security around the building when it is dark and there is little lighting. LSU Police Department Spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde said there have been 25 reports filed since Jan. 1. Of these calls, 14 reports were of theft. The rest of the reports included vehicle burglary, criminal trespassing, criminal damage to property and a suspicious person report. Lalonde said that the LSUPD officers do make more of an effort to make their presence known during midterms and finals when the library hours are extended. Smyth said there have been multiple occasions of student muggings near the darker part of the building and many instances of theft in the library. Though it may be unknown to many University students, police officers dressed in civilian clothes do patrol the inside of Middleton.

and influential. “It allowed me to see AfricanAmericans as we profile ourselves,” Shelby-Wallace said. Vocal performance freshman DeAundre Woods attended Reed’s event and said the key to stopping racial profiling is for African-Americans to stop tearing each other down. “We have to stop identifying with what we see on television and social media,” Woods said.

check, which Woodard said would ﬁx another problem that came up before the game last week. “If a girl had a purse and got into the wrong line, she’d then have to backtrack and wait all that time to get into another one,” Woodard said. Last week’s experiment with a new line system caused discontent among students and others attending the game. Elementary education freshman Corinna Cherrier said had the game not been delayed by a lightning storm, she and her friends would have missed the kickoff. “I consider myself a pretty

Students walk in the Quad in front of Middleton Library. There have been 25 reports since Jan. 1 of crime outside the library, 14 of them theft.

However, Smyth said that more of her concern lies with safety outside. She said security cameras monitor activity within the library but she wants to make sure that students are not at risk when they leave. “I’d like to have uniformed officers be more physically present [outside Middleton],” Smyth said. Because the officers inside are not uniformed, they don’t pose a visible reminder of security they provide. Smyth wants a more concrete and accessible force students can rely on if anything does happen outside the secure walls of Middleton. She believes that with the clear presence of police, fewer instances will occur. Lalonde also said emphasis on reporting the instance immediately walk to the Parade Grounds where black balloons were released to honor victims who died as a result of racial profiling. When Reed isn’t giving lectures at LSU or Temple University or Stanford University, he has his own radio talk show, the Stop The Killing Hour of Power on Max 94.1 FM every Sunday at 4 p.m.

Woodard said the problem was that Athletics did not consult with anyone else before implementing the change. “I just don’t think they foresaw any problems,” Woodard said. “Looking back, I’m sure they wish they had asked someone – I think law enforcement would have been able to give them something,” Woodard said.

is critical in dealing with the issue. However, Lalonde said any time security is added to a particular area, crime will be deterred. Smyth said part of the problem lies in funding. She wants to collaborate with student government and local police to help provide the necessary security needed to adequately look after University students. This means a higher budget for supplying officers that secure the perimeter. Smyth said that she does not plan to change the hours of Middleton during finals week but definitely wants to make certain of the safety of every student that enters and exits the doors of the library.

“But this happens everywhere!” Countless fans and media members have taken that stance this week, scoffing and whining at any word written by Thayer Evans and George Dohrmann in their scathing report on the alleged improprieties within the Oklahoma State football program during the Les Miles era. A few rogue former Cowboys players came forward to disparage claims Sports Illustrated made. An ESPN report surfaced on Thursday documenting discrepancies in Fath’ Carter’s statements given to the magazine. Now it appears Monday morning quarterbacks have all the ammo they need to pile on two reporters (one of whom has a Pulitzer Prize) and a renowned magazine. The same critics who forget there are more than 50 players named in the report and don’t know the authentication the magazine went through in the ten months it worked on the expose. And they may forget the claims that have been made: Grade fixing. Hiring unqualified academic help. Cocaine use. Illicit payments. But it’s a problem everywhere, so go ‘Pokes, right?

CHROME IS BURNING CHANDLER ROME Sports Editor

Mike Gegenheimer The competitive nature of wide receivers runs deep, especially between teammates. Receivers have to demand their quarterback’s attention and consistently prove why they’re more deserving of the ball than their peers. It’s easy for egos to clash – many bring the ‘me, me, me’ attitude from the ﬁeld into their everyday life. It isn’t the most nurturing environment for budding friendships. But in the face of one of sports’ most battle-ridden positions, LSU junior wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry found a way to foster a thriving friendship on and off the ﬁeld. “It’s kind of like a brother I’ve never had,” Beckham said with a quick smile over to his teammate. “We’re close. I can look at him in his interview and I can know what’s going through his mind, that type of thing. It’s honestly something I never would’ve expected to have coming from someone I didn’t

It’s tune-up time for the LSU soccer team, as the Tigers (3-2-1) hit the road to east Texas this weekend for their ﬁnal two non-conference games. The trip kicks off with a visit to Stephen F. Austin tonight, and Rice awaits in Houston on Sunday. Though Rice may have more of a name brand and is located in a metropolitan area, SFA is likely the

tougher challenge. “They’ll be really similar to big school teams in level [of play],” said LSU coach Brian Lee. “They are a team that is probably the most dominant mid-major in their conference. It would be a real upset for them to drop a league game.” True to Lee’s word, the Ladyjacks (4-1-1) are the defending regular season and tournament champions in the Southland Conference, ﬁnishing with an 8-0 conference mark and a 17-4 record overall after bowing out to Texas A&M in the ﬁrst round of the NCAA Tournament. With those credentials, the Ladyjacks more closely

resemble a middle-of-thepack Southeastern Conference team than a mid-major foe. “The last four or ﬁve years, they’ve been a consistent threat to be in the top-50 of the RPI,” Lee said. “On the road, against a good team on a Friday night, that’s how we’ll have to win in the SEC. It’s good to replicate that right before we start league play.” The two teams met last year, with LSU using then-freshman forward Fernanda Piña’s 78th-minute goal to take down the Ladyjacks, 2-1, in Baton Rouge.

I thought I was the only guy in Louisiana who could catch the ball like that.” After that weekend, the athletic admiration rapidly grew into a full-fledged friendship. The two became so close that Landry said Beckham approached him saying he wanted to commit wherever Landry was going. “[Beckham] came to me and said ‘Wherever you go, I want to go,’” Landry said. “‘I want to compete with you, I want to be on the field together and we’ll be unstoppable.’ ... Even though he committed on signing day, I knew he was going to come here.”

So if I’m to follow this trend of shrugging off the report simply on that basis, I’m consenting to the fact that because everyone does it, it’s okay. I’m also admitting since every program does it, LSU has to be included in there. Self-incrimination. Love Purple, Live Gold, right Tiger fans?

Stephen F. Austin. LSU enters the game with some good vibes dating back to its 1-0 upset of No. 13 USC September 8, which snapped a two-game losing skid. The Tigers may be getting a reinforcement back in the defensive third, as Lee said injured freshman Megan Lee could return from an ankle sprain she suffered during LSU’s exhibition win against Nicholls St. on Aug. 16. “It’ll change everybody’s role around a little bit, so you want to take advantage of that versatility,” Lee said. “We think she can make a difference.” Another freshman who’s already made a difference is forward Summer Clarke, who is one of four Tigers with multiple goals this season. With two goals and an assist already this fall, she and fellow freshman Emma Fletcher are getting their ﬁnal preparation for their ﬁrst SEC season. “It’s just been a lot more physical than we’ve seen before,” Clarke said. “Everyone’s going to challenge you for the ball, and I’m sure it’s only going to get tougher as we go.” Though Rice has struggled out of the gate this season, the Owls (1-2-2) have played LSU tough in recent years, drawing the Tigers, 1-1, in Baton Rouge last year and winning in double overtime two seasons ago.

Louisiana remains the most corrupt state SHARE THE WEALTH Jay Meyers Columnist Immediately after taking office in 2008, Gov. Bobby Jindal set to overhaul Louisiana’s ethics laws, which is quite the daunting task for our notoriously corrupt state. Indeed, Louisiana has had a long history of corrupt state officials who commanded national attention for their misdeeds. The most prominent examples begin with the illustrious Gov. Huey Long who ruled — and profited handsomely from his elected position — during the midst of the Great Depression and extends all the way to four-term Gov. Edwin Edwards who was recently released from prison after serving ten years for racketeering, conspiracy and extortion charges. Three-term Louisiana Gov. Earl Long, who was the younger brother of Huey, once said that his constituents “don’t want good government, they want good entertainment.” One could say corruption is ingrained in Louisiana culture. Thankfully, though, Jindal came in riding shirtless to the rescue. So, how’d he do? Well, according to a Justice Department report released last week, Louisiana has emerged as America’s most corrupt state with the highest rate of convictions per capita for

GERALD HERBERT / The Associated Press

On Dec. 12, 2012, former La. governor, Edwin Edwards, and his wife, Trina Scott Edwards, attend a luncheon for a Council For a Better Louisiana in Baton Rouge. Louisiana was recently named the most corrupt state in the US.

people in public office. According to the report, there are many different crimes that fall under the umbrella of public corruption, including both corruption related to campaign financing, as well as fraud and conspiracy relating to the electoral process at the local, state and federal level. To put it in more concrete terms, between 2002 and 2011, Louisiana convicted 403 government officials of crimes “involving abuses of the public trust,” according to the DOJ report. This comes out to 8.76

convictions per 100,000 people. Sounds kind of like the same ole’, same ole’, doesn’t it? So what exactly did Jindal pass and why has it been obviously ineffective? The ethics reform bill Jindal passed early in his first term essentially tried to foster a more transparent environment among lobbyists, state legislators and state agencies in Louisiana. The new requirements forced all state legislators, as well as most other elected and appointed officials around the state, to disclose

all sources of income, real estate holdings and debts larger than $10,000. Additionally, legislators and other executive branch officials are no longer able to get contracts for state-financed or disaster-related work. Lobbyists were also required to disclose all of their sources of income, and are now limited to spending no more than $50 per elected official on meals. Sounds pretty good. And if you were to read the annual “integrity index” report

head in. His attire only had a role in Zimmerman’s suspicion of Trayvon, since there had been a series of robberies over the past year or so, committed by people who fit his description at the time. And it wasn’t necessarily that, that got Zimmerman suspicious. It was the fact that he stopped in the middle of the rain and started to look at a house. That definitely is not normal behavior. As for him supposedly disregarding a police order, I have two things to say. One, it was extremely foolish on his part. No one denies that. Not even his supporters. Two, it wasn’t illegal and it wasn’t an order. “We don’t need you to do that” is not an order. The cop was legally obligated to tell him that in case Zimmerman was physically injured. Firefighters do it too. Zimmerman was foolish to pursue him, but there isn’t a hint of racism on his side.” -Cody

In response to Justin Blanchard’s column, “Ghetto tracker: an app or an insult?” readers had this to say:

Being aware of crime and giving potentially unwary visitors to a city a better understanding of where they are isn’t a bad thing. Even the best intentions won’t help if you actually end up on the wrong side of a crime statistic. Yes, “avoiding an area because of an app on your smartphone is ridiculous,” but avoiding an area because of a recognizable trend in criminal activity is not. If you have such hope for the neighborhoods deemed unsafe, be proactive in helping end violence and criminal activity. Simply ignoring available information won’t change that information into something more agreeable.” -studiousstudent

“You’re making the wrong assumptions about the people who would use this app - they won’t be the people looking for the “diamond in the rough” restaurant. Yes, calling it “Ghetto Tracker” is a bad idea and can easily offend. That being said, the idea of the app isn’t nearly as heinous as you (or any one of the other media outlets saying the same thing) are suggesting. Whether it’s here in Baton Rouge or in Detroit or somewhere across the Atlantic, there will be people who avoid neighborhoods they think are unsafe. If crime statistics are the driving force in determining how safe the app rates a neighborhood then using the app is no more classist than looking at a sex offender registry or comparing the schools in different neighborhoods when you look to buy a house.

released last month by the Better Government Association, you would probably be lead to believe Louisiana’s ethics laws were superb. But looks can be deceiving. While Louisiana did in fact rank 6th among states in the BGA’s integrity index — 41 places up from our 2002 ranking of 46th — it’s important to note their report solely took into account states’ freedom of information, open meeting, conflict of interest and whistleblower laws. Put another way, the index ranks states only according to laws on the books and not their actual implementation. What’s the point of having one of the nation’s best ethics laws, if the state ethics board and administrative judges — those empowered with implementing the reform — lack the teeth to actually do so? As we can see from the DOJ report, merely talking a big game won’t affect change in our state’s corruption laws. There needs to be substance and actual repercussions inherent within ethics legislation. Until then, the association of Louisiana and dirty politics will remain the status quo.

HEAD to HEAD

Should the government fund Planned Parenthood? No. PP is not a reliable provider of quality healthcare. Yes. PP offers valuable, needed reproductive healthcare. THE UNRIDDLER CHRISTINE GUTTERY Columnist “Planned Parenthood. Care. No matter what.” So it says on the front page of the official website but Planned Parenthood doesn’t practice what it preaches and it certainly doesn’t deserve our tax dollars – $542 million to be exact. That’s how much money Planned Parenthood received from the government this past year. Just last month, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, which spans Texas and Louisiana, forked over a total of $4.3 million to the state of Texas and the federal government after whistleblower Karen Reynolds accused Planned Parenthood of fraud. Planned Parenthood insisted that its agreement to settle the claim did not mean it committed a crime; it simply did not want to spend the time and money on a case that would distract it from focusing on helping poor women. That’s a nice sentiment, but let’s get real. This was not the first lawsuit against Planned Parenthood for fraud. Integrity is not on their side. Only a few months prior to this, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast began building a new facility in New Orleans, just an hour and a half from LSU, that will include abortions in their list of services. Planned Parenthood is America’s leader in abortions—over 333,000 in 2011 according to their annual report. The abortion argument boils down to one question. What is the unborn? “If it’s not a human life, then no justification for abortion is necessary,” says pro-life advocate Greg Koukl, “but, if the unborn is a human life then no justification is adequate.” Planned Parenthood recently mandated that all affiliates must provide on-site abortions. Its abortion-to-adoption referral ratio is 145 to 1, according to numbers in their annual report. Of course that couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that adoption referrals mean no revenue for Planned Parenthood. Though still contested, many researchers say the unborn can feel pain at 20 weeks gestation. Planned Parenthood consistently defends late-term abortions, 20 weeks and on. Even more unbelievable, in March, Planned Parenthood sent a representative to Florida to lobby against House Bill 1129 which would defend the rights of infants born alive during or immediately after an attempted abortion. When asked what Planned Parenthood would want to have happen in the case of a child struggling for life on a table due to a botched abortion the representative answered: “We believe that any decision that’s made should be left up to the woman, her family and the physician.” Seriously? Why are we even arguing about this? There’s a helpless, living, breathing child on the table fighting for life and we are going to discuss whether or not we have the right to let him or her die? This is disgusting. If that wasn’t enough, Live Action conducted investigations and reported catching Planned Parenthood employees “aiding and albetting child sex trafficking, sex-and racebased abortion and covering up the abuse of

underage girls.” Planned Parenthood fired employees after the tapes came out and claimed these actions do not reflect the views of the organization, But Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood director, claims these things “happen all the time” and that she allowed it to happen in her facility. She explained that Planned Parenthood tries to create the idea of tolerance and by tolerating these different lifestyles — e.g. a 13-year-old in a relationship with a man twice her age — they forget they have a duty to protect their patients. But Planned Parenthood provides invaluable healthcare and family planning resources to poor women who would have nowhere else to go to get their basic healthcare needs met, right? Wrong. First of all, Planned Parenthood provides extremely limited services compared to other Medicaid healthcare providers. Contrary to the words of Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, Planned Parenthood does not provide mammograms. According to former Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson, Planned Parenthood also does not provide the following: prenatal care, diabetes treatment, treatment for elevated cholesterol, treatment for elevated blood pressure, care for HIV positive individuals, holistic medicine, obstetrical care, infertility treatments, miscarriage management, bladder disorders and urinary problems, bone density testing, treatment of pelvic pain and pediatric care. The list goes on. At Federally Qualified Health Centers poor women on Medicaid can get affordable and higher quality care and a much more extensive list of services. And yes, that includes family planning services. “Planned Parenthood cares?” Their actions prove otherwise. America deserves better.

GATES TO REASON

MARIEL GATES Columnist People hear the phrase “Planned Parenthood” and by default their thoughts go to abortion. Some anti-abortion protesters will use Planned Parenthood as a scapegoat for the entire business of abortion, claiming that the majority of the services they provide are abortions at the expense of taxpayer’s dollars. This is completely false. By the regulations put in by federal law, Planned Parenthood can’t put any of their government funding into abortion services because it isn’t considered to be family planning. Every person deserves the right to easily accessible reproductive healthcare. Many people don’t have the financial means to pay for a private practicing doctor any time they need specialized and immediate care. This is where Planned Parenthood saves the day. They offer affordable high-quality healthcare, accept Medicaid, most insurance plans and provide free condoms to everyone and birth control to those who qualify. They even have special prices for teenage care due to the low-income status most youths are in. Included in their services are general health care, birth control, HIV testing, men’s health care, emergency contraception, STD testing and treatment, women’s health care and abortions. Here’s a breakdown of their services: 35 percent STD and STI testing and treatment, 35 percent contraception, 16 percent cancer screenings and prevention, 10 percent other women’s health services, three percent abortions and one percent other services. You read that correctly. Only three percent of all the services it provides are abortion. Most arguments against Planned Parenthood turn a blind eye to the many helpful and potentially life saving services that the business offers to men and women alike. Many of the clinics don’t even offer abortion services, such as both the Baton Rouge and New Orleans locations. We live in a world that is constantly trying to dictate what women can and can’t do with their bodies. Yes, things have gotten better, but that doesn’t mean they’re where they should be. Conservative government officials, mostly men, are the ones trying to take away these fundamental and essential care options. Sadly, the argument these officials have

for defunding this amazing care provider is solely based on the fact that the company offers abortions. If you were to walk into a group of protestors and ask them, “So, are you protesting because they offer cancer screenings and STD testing, or is it because they offer education-based family planning?” you might be greeted with a minute of silence before they were able to gather their thoughts. What would anyone gain by defunding Planned Parenthood? Maybe a few less dollars spent in taxes, if your taxes are even going to them. But in the grand scheme of an individual’s life, you gain nothing. All abortion arguments and stances aside, here is the cold truth about them: unless you’re the person getting the abortion, abortions don’t affect you. Read that again, because few people understand this concept. You may love babies and you may think that taking away a person’s right to “kill” said “baby” is making the world a better place, but the only real thing you’re doing it using your hate and narrow-minded belief about the sanctity of life to dictate someone else’s. Many women are completely reliant on Planned Parenthood as their primary health care provider. To take away these clinics is to take away a vital part of a woman’s ability to have a high quality of life. To defund the company would mean women not getting the cancer screenings, birth control and testing they need to stay healthy. People in favor of defunding this wonderful service need to look past the silly three percent of abortion services and see the bigger picture. It’s not about abortion, and it’s not about money. It’s time to bury this argument and understand that what one person decides to do with their body and where they choose to get care from will never affect anyone but that person and it’ll always be that way.
