I have been pregnant and addicted, so this is an issue that is very near and dear to my heart. I believe that addiction is a disease that is not curable but it can be arrested if the proper steps are taken. I know for myself that I did not want to use drugs while I was pregnant or harm my child in anyway shape or form, but I was under the control of the drugs, not my own personal values. If I would not have been given the chance to address my addiction I would not be the person that I am today. Also, the education I have been taught has led me down a better path, I can now be a productive responsible human being and mother.
The United States was in a crisis due to the extreme decline in birth rates so in desperation to do something about this the Republic of Gilead formed. The goal of this State was based strictly on reproduction and they would take control of woman’s bodies, not allowing them to, read, write, vote, hold property, or even think for themselves. Handmaid’s would be assigned to married couples and there only job was to lie on their back once a month and hope that their owners, the commanders, would make them pregnant. Ever since Gilead began woman were forced to live with this way of life and for some of the younger Handmaid’s it was the only way they knew. “Ordinary, said Aunt Lydia, is what you are used to.
After the first trimester of pregnancy the risk of congenital deformation drops to 2% (McCrary, ML, Severson, J, Tyring, SK 1999). The obstetrician would have recommended the immunoglobulin due to the fact that the pregnant woman had never developed the virus and so would not have been immune, as well as being in close contact with her infectious daughter. b) What are the risks to the baby if chickenpox is contracted during pregnancy? Chicken pox during pregnancy causes issues in 3 out of every 1,000 pregnancies (Ács, N, Bánhidy, FG Czeizel, AE 2010). If chickenpox is developed prior to 20 weeks, it is very difficult to treat and there is a larger chance that the newborn will suffer from Foetal Varicella Syndrome.

During the time period of the late 1800's, women were not allowed to enjoy intercourse and men did not care about the feelings of women (Personal Communication, May, 2013).The birth control movement gave women an opportunity to become independent of their choices and put them in control of when they have children (Personal Communication, May, 2013). The birth control movement has been ongoing for many years and still continues today into 2013 (Personal Communication, May, 2013). ” Another question asked was What did the Comstock law have to do with the birth control movement? The response was “The Comstock law made it to where the transportation of birth control and any information about birth control was illegal (Personal Communication, May, 2013). This was around the year of 1873 and Anthony Comstock joined the
summery A modest proposal is about a proposal for getting use of the children who are born poor. The speaker thinks that it is sad that the female beggars waste all their time to feed all of their children instead of having a descent job. If anyone could find a way to give these children a future in common wealth, in his opinion, they will deserve to have a statue of them as preserver of the nation. He wants to find a solution on this problem, and he got an idea himself. His idea is roughly to let the mothers of poor children provide them with milk for 1 year, and then he will take care of them and make them contribute to the feeding and partly clothing of thousands.
This value is defined by the idea of putting others before you. With this being the most important goal, there should be more of a focus on getting help to families who are lacking basic needs like food and shelter, which is what the main welfare programs provide. The main issue here is that many of the families seeking welfare have children whose interests are of greatest importance. If people are denied assistance due to drug use, their children suffer. In the instance that a mother is abusing drugs and applying for welfare, she probably isn’t adequately caring for her children in the first place due to the drug usage.

Addiction, as powerful of a force as it can be, does not overpower the maternal instinct that many women feel, but can lead to current and future negative effects on the physical, cognitive and behavioral development of a child. More specifically, when children are exposed to cocaine in utero through the drug use and abuse of their mothers, the effects on their infant development can be highly detrimental. Focusing exclusively on infant development as opposed to other developmental time periods allows one to examine the abnormalities that arise in prenatally exposed children at a time when much physical and mental change is occurring. By becoming aware of the physical, cognitive and temperamental effects that prenatal cocaine exposure has on infant development, the hope is that drug-abusing mothers will consider the future health of their unborn child before continuing their abuse. While much research has been done on the effects of prenatal cocaine exposure on fetal development, substantially little has examined the effects on infant development.
Still Not Free Sara Clark Dr. Rae Mirgain Composition II, Section 60070 29 November 2012 Still Not Free Women’s reproductive rights’ is not a new issue here in the United States, it has been around for centuries but it still remains a controversial issue even today. Whenever the issue is brought up it seems to always refer to abortion when in all actuality women’s reproductive rights’ is much more than just abortion. “No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her body. No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother,” said Margaret Sanger (Margaret Sanger Biography, 2012), a pioneer of the Women’s Rights movement.
