Thesis: Even though birth control may have moral downfalls in some people’s eyes, overall, birth control can provide multiple benefits for women all around the world.

    The middle class back in the 1960s was not opposed to the ideal fact of poor black women substancing a birth control pill to stop them from having children.

This led to products like Lysol disinfectant being marketed as feminine hygiene products which was not illegal but killed some and severely burned many, but with these products the contraceptive market was still open.

A year later she was arrested in Brooklyn and sentenced to 30 days in jail for maintaining a public nuisance. She was arrested multiple times after re opening her clinic and finally during her case in 1938, a judge lifted the federal ban on birth control.…

    The question in today’s society is if girls should have access to birth control without parental consent. More than half the percent of people say ”yes” and the other half say “no” to teen girls having birth control without the consent of parents. 82% of people are for teen girls being able to obtain birth control without approval of parents and 18% of people are not for teen girls being able to obtain birth control without approval of parents. “If teens believe they are responsible enough to have sex and then they should be responsible enough to talk about contraception with their parents.

    Birth Control Access: Making America a Better Place What does the average person think of when they hear “birth control accessibility”? The right to contraceptive medication does not include the legal right to abortions, in fact, it actually decreases the need for them. It is an important part of women’s right and conclusively, everyone’s rights. That’s what anyone should think when they hear those three words. Birth control should be accessible to women nationally because it slows abortion rate, it is virtually a legal right, and is fundamental to women 's equality.…

    America’s New Health care System: Control on Contraceptives In light of the Trump Administration’s mandate to cut access to birth control coverage, a nation of women, who are of reproductive age, are fighting back. There are 22 variations of contraceptives, including the most common being the pill, injectable, male condom, sterilization, nexplanon, and intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD). These contraceptives provide benefits far beyond pregnancy prevention for women of all ages yet as a society we focus the primary benefits, rather than the variety of other contributions associated. The new regulation on coverage, issues by the Heath and Human Services Department, states that a much broader group of insurances may exempt themselves from…

    However, those who are supporting forcing teens to notify or get consent from their parents to “promote the best interests of young women and improve family communications” fail to realize they are stripping teens of their right of privacy which is unconstitutional.

They are doing this because they believe it will “reduce the teen pregnancy rate” (Judy Molland) which they think is also due to “ignorance, taboo and lack of access to contraception” (Judy Molland). Many do not see keeping contraception’s away from teens as a safe way to keep them from having sex or running into sexual…

As of 2014, teenage pregnancy rates are at an all-time low in America- but the United States still has the highest teen birth rate in the industrialized world.

The use of contraceptives has served to decrease the rate of teenage pregnancy, but there are still restrictions on young girls, who are forbidden in purchasing their own products. Despite the risk, birth control helps to develop responsibility in young teens, it is much safer than the alternative, and it is effective.…
