    Plenty of information exists to validate the concerns of those opposed to the Plan B pill being readily available without a prescription to women as young as fifteen. The Director of Pro-Life Action League states that allowing Plan B to continue being sold over the counter to young girls encourages promiscuity and does not only invite them, but older men who often prey on them, to engage in sexual behavior (Scheidler A.12). In addition, Scheidler goes on to state that critics argue women, especially teenagers, will substitute Plan B for other types of birth control measures, such as condoms. This in turn will increase the rate of sexually transmitted diseases. Dr. Hanna Klaus, an obstetrician-gynecologist, cited the increased chlamydia and…

    The two most important themes related to health in American women 's lives between the late 1800 's and early 1900 's are contraception and abortion. Both contraception and abortion would be a turning point for individual rights as well as medicine. Before the institution of medicine accepted birth control and abortion, women in general were regarded as housewives, child bearers and most served the local communities as midwives and healers to the sick. Even though midwives were highly regarded in their communities, their authority was still superceded by male doctors. Before the coming of abortion, the only way to dispose of a child was through the process of a craniotomy.…

    In 1973, the Supreme Court resolved the unconstitutional law that prohibited a woman to have an abortion for non-emergency reasons. Since then, the controversial case known as Roe V. Wade has divided the people, labeling themselves as either pro-life or pro-choice (McBride). Abortion is not a topic that should be treated lightly, but it is also not a topic that should be ignored all together. In fact, for some, it may be their only option. Abortion should be legal no matter the case because it saves women who cannot have a child, motherhood is a choice, and a child should not come into this world unwanted.…

When you look up abortion in the English Dictionary, the definition is “the deliberate termination of a pregnancy, usually before the embryo or fetus is capable of independent life.” Around the 20th week of the pregnancy is when the fetus can start being viable on its own.
