The choice on whether or not a girl should be able to get birth control or not should be up to her. Having or not having a contraceptive will not stop a teen that may want to have sex. Teenage girls are entitled to their bodies. Preventing a girl from receiving birth control could potentially worsen the situation. A
An unexpected pregnancy as a teen can be a devastating occurrence. It might change the entire course of his or her life to discover they are about to become parents. That is why it is so important for teens that are sexually active to learn the basics about having safe sex and protecting themselves from STDs and unintended teen pregnancy. I think that it is a good idea to offer young teens the different birth control options available such as the commonly known birth control pills or condoms. Also, today we have other options like the birth control patch, Depo-Provera (shot), female condoms, and IUD’s (inter-uterine device) to help lower and prevent teen pregnancy and the spread of
Women who take this pill guard from a surgical abortion which is much more uncomfortable. Statistics tell us that “between the years of 1994 and 1995 96% of the women who took the pill would recommend it to others; 91% would choose to use it again; 88% found it effective and satisfactory” (Meier 1). Women are prone to feel much more personal safety due to it being less invasive than the surgical procedure. Women who choose to take this pill can avoid trauma and anti-abortion protestors for the matter because it can be done by their own private physician where it is legal. Being free of emotional and physical invasion has made easier for women to want to take it again even after failing the first time (fraser
Dixon 1 Brenya Dixon ENG 132.53 27 January 2015 Birth Control The birth control pill is 99 percent effective in preventing pregnancy. Only between 2 and 8 percent of women become pregnant each year while using it says “Five reasons women get pregnant while on the pill”. Most women take birth control pills not only to prevent pregnancy but reducing cramps and menstrual pain, prevent migraines and also treatment of acne. 762,000 women who have never had sex use the pill, and they do so almost exclusively 99 percent for no contraceptive reasons. Menstrual-related disorders and irregular periods are particularly common during adolescence.
(New Beginnings Health Center)When used properly the pill prevents ovulation and interfering with sperm entry through the cervix. Although implantation prevention is not the mechanism of action for the majority of women, women who take birth control pills do risk the chance of aborting their unborn child.
The genetic mother looks to be the better of the two mothers until there is a problem with the born child and they turn their back on the baby because it wasn’t delivered to their standards. Another downside, which is obviously similar to abortion, is the idea of woman who isn’t so upper class, using surrogacy to earn money. It is a wonderful advantage to be able to help a family have a miracle such as a child, which they can’t have on their own. But, how many is too many? Even a pro-choice individual’s views quickly change toward abortion and exactly how legally available it should be when the same woman gets pregnant and aborts her child more than once.
(5) However taking away teenagers' access to contraceptives doesn't stop them from having sex, it just drives them away. (6) Therefore, teens should be allowed to obtain contraceptives without consent from their parents.
By this time the baby can surely feel pain. There are also many future medical issues that abortion can cause. It can increase chances of miscarriages. "A June 2003 study published by the peer-reviewed International Journal of Epidemiology estimated that about 15% of first-trimester miscarriages are attributed to a prior histroy of induced abortion" (ProCon 4). Not only can it cause physical medical issues, it can cause psycholgical issues too.
I don’t think that Margaret wanted to be controversial, from this project I also learned of the obstacles that they faced with getting the drug paid for by health insurance. Another thing that I learned about the “pill” is that there are many different kinds available to women, each “pill has its own pros and cons. For women who suffers from Acne there is a pill for that, the con for taking this particular pill is that it may hinder a women’s reproductive system from reproducing, also if a woman is pregnant and they consume the bill their child/ren may be born with a birth defect. As a woman I never knew that Birth control was not covered by private insurance carriers, I was shocked to learn that in 2000 EEOC made it mandatory for private insurance to cover the prescription drug, as of 2010 there are over one thousand lawsuits pending against Bayer healthcare corporation because of side effects that women experienced after taking the “pill.” While birth control has been a controversial issue from 1900’s until present day, I think that the decision should ultimately left up to a woman to decide what
Why women should breastfeed their babies! Mothers benefit from breastfeeding however; in the beginning it’s a little rough. Breastfeeding make life easier once you have a routine.
